Choose the purpose first: a gift bouquet, a photo backdrop or table decoration. Then compare the contents, dimensions and placement rather than only the photograph’s colours. Filling, lettering, supports, availability and handover need confirmation for the selected option.

Give the arrangement one main job
For a gift, consider the handover and where the recipient will put the arrangement. For photos, think about the background, people and space in the frame. For a table, consider sightlines and how guests will use the table.
Save a picture of the location and a decoration reference. These turn “some nice balloons” into a brief with a purpose and practical limits.
Compare what is actually included
Different arrangements appear in the catalogue, but a similar photograph does not establish an identical specification. Request the details of your selected proposal.
| Detail | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Contents | Number of elements, material and included decoration. |
| Size | Arrangement dimensions and the space it needs. |
| Filling and supports | Filling method, support and any setup arrangements. |
| Lettering | Exact wording, language and whether it can be made. |
Check the venue’s requirements
Say whether the arrangement will be indoors or outdoors, where it will stand and who will receive it. Check attachment rules and venue access with the venue contact.
Do not infer display life from another customer’s photograph. Ask the supplier for the specific arrangement’s intended conditions and limitations; a material or a weather description does not establish a guaranteed lifespan.
Agree the date and handover
Give the local event date and preferred handover time. Confirm the requested design, quote contents, delivery and any setup separately.
