If you’re planning a celebration in Salem, Oregon, or its neighboring cities, the newest stunning balloon decor trends are guaranteed to make any event unforgettable. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, baby shower, or corporate gathering, balloons have become statement pieces for all occasions.

At Salem Balloons and Flowers, we’ve been transforming events across Salem, Dallas, Independence, Amity, Sublimity, Corvallis, McMinnville, Beaverton, Tigard, Wilsonville, Lake Oswego, and throughout the Willamette Valley and other nearby cities. Yes! We even go to Portland and Eugene, Oregon.

Here’s what’s trending in balloon decor this year:

1. Deluxe Organic Balloon Garlands

Organic balloon garlands, characterized by their flowing and natural shapes, continue to lead in the event décor industry. Recent trends indicate a shift away from the traditional organic garland consisting of various balloon sizes and colors, as clients increasingly seek elevated design options. Luxury organic garlands are gaining traction, distinguished by metallic accents such as gold, rose gold, and silver, which provide an elegant touch. Meticulous detailing is integral to this style, featuring embellishments including Starburst foils, disco balls, themed foils, and pearl balloon chains. Additionally, handcrafted flowers have been incorporated into deluxe organic garlands this year. These refined elements make themed deluxe organic garlands especially suitable for baby showers, gender reveal parties, weddings, milestone birthdays, and high-end corporate events.

Pro Tip: Pair garlands with fresh or faux flowers for distinctive texture. A signature service we offer in Salem Balloons and Flowers.

We provide two main options: the Set-N-Go Collection, ideal for those seeking a beautiful, budget-friendly solution and wishing to participate in set-up, and the Full Service Collection, perfect for those desiring a stunning, stress-free experience, focusing only on capturing beautiful photos.

2. Statement Marquee Letter Displays with Balloons

Photo-ready Marquee Letter Displays with Balloon Decor have become essential for modern events. The trend is to blend balloons with fabric drapes, neon signage, and marquee letters to create a show-stopping effect, ideal for brand launches, birthdays, and seasonal celebrations in the Willamette Valley.

Corporate clients especially value Marquee Letter Displays enhanced with balloon decor. These striking backgrounds are perfect for memorable photos, increasing visibility and brand awareness on social media.

Professional Tip: 💡 While marquee letters paired with balloon décor create an elegant display, incorporating fresh or faux flowers for added texture, along with elements such as illuminated butterflies, elevates the overall effect. This is a signature service we provide at Salem Balloons and Flowers.

3. Double-Stuffed Color Palettes

For those seeking exclusivity, deeper, richer balloon hues, double-stuffing. Where one balloon is placed inside another makes colors truly pop in 2025. This technique is excellent for achieving custom colors for corporate events or themed parties such as baby showers and gender reveals in central Oregon.

4. Themed Balloon Decor Installations

Themed balloon decor is bigger than ever, from Winnie the Pooh baby showers to Halloween displays. More immersive installations are being created, where balloons coordinate with every detail of the event. With themed installations, you decide the scope of your service; you can order only your main focal point themed decoration or a full package including table centerpieces, party favors,  and a welcome sign. We offer different packages adapted to our clients' different needs.
