This balloon centerpiece for tables involves a simple combination of pearly colored balloons. A balloon bouquet centerpiece is perfect for a wedding and anniversary parties. To make this one, you will need 11" high balloons.

Pick colors like baby pink, pearly white, shimmering blue, and light lavender. Get some matching curling ribbon, helium, and a balloon sizer. Fill up the balloons with helium and tie them up tightly at the end to prevent the air from escaping. Use a balloon sizer to inflate or deflate balloons to whatever size you like.

Tie each balloon separately with a ribbon. Now hold the balloons at uneven heights and tie them together. Swipe the sharp edge of a scissor along the ribbons, so that they curl and your balloon bouquet will be ready.
