Balloon Care Guide

Thank you for choosing Violet & Bumble for your balloon decor requirements, we hope you are thrilled with your displays!

All of our balloons are of the highest quality, orders are quality checked and treated if applicable.

This Care Sheet will assure you get the maximum enjoyment from your displays.

As our balloon arrangements are made to order and customised for each event, materials are ordered in advance. This means any colour changes and add ons to your previously confirmed order that are made less than 72 hours prior to collection or delivery cannot be accommodated unless specifically agreed by Violet and Bumble in writing and will be subject to availability, extra costs and delivery timings. 

Our balloon arrangements will be made ahead of your event to allow time to check faults and any punctures that may occur. Please make sure you are 100% happy with your balloon order when they are delivered to your venue.  


1. Balloons and Temperature: Please don't leave balloons in a hot car - helium expands in the heat and this could cause your balloons to pop! We recommend that you use air conditioning in your vehicle when transporting balloons on a hot day. If your balloons get rained on and start to droop, don't worry – they'll float again when dry. When helium-filled balloons are taken into the cold, they will temporarily deflate and will re-inflate again when warm. Please note temperature changes may cause your vinyl writing to lift after a period of time. 

2. Balloons - Child and Pet Precautions: Balloons are not a toy. Uninflated or burst balloons can present a choking hazard and should never be left with children under the age of eight without supervision. Store balloons away from pets to ensure that they cannot get themselves tangled with balloon ribbons or accidentally ingest popped balloons or their decorative contents such as confetti, feathers, or other materials. If a balloon pops, clear away any broken balloons and it's decorative contents (if applicable) immediately.

3. Balloons and the Environment: At the end of a balloon's life, cut the end of the balloon with scissors to remove any air or balloon gas, then dispose of it in the bin. NEVER release balloons into the environment. ALL released balloons become litter. They can get caught up in trees or power lines. Remember - Don't Let Go & Pin It and Bin It!

4. Balloons and Allergies: Most balloons are made of natural rubber latex and may cause allergies. Any latex allergies MUST be declared before booking. Please look out for symptoms in case of allergies and seek immediate help.

5. Inhalation of helium: Inhaling helium can be dangerous and it is not recommended. It can deprive your body of oxygen and can result in a fatality.

6. Balloons and Ceilings: Lights, paint textures, irregular surfaces and even static can all pop balloons. If you are planning on placing your balloons on a ceiling, ensure that you test it first.

7. Latex balloons and Oxidization: Clear balloons become cloudy quickly when exposed to heat and sunshine. Coloured balloons will take on a velvety, matte appearance.

8. Balloons can Pop: While we use the highest quality balloons and take every precaution necessary with your balloons to ensure they last through your event, once the balloons leave our door or we have left the venue, they are out of our control. We do not expect balloons back from events and if we re-attend to collect any hire items from your venue, please be advised we will not take the balloons with us.

If you are unsatisfied with your balloons or there is a fault. This must be reported to us as soon as possible within a few hours of receiving your order.
