Balloon fountain worldwide: on its own, in a pair or with a number
A balloon fountain worldwide can stand on its own, such as Cloud, Firework or Starlight, or come as Number with Balloon Fountains or the paired Double Start, all sold in the same grid. The choice starts with the fountain's role, standing alone or framing a number, and only then moves to colour.
What a balloon fountain is, and how it differs from a cloud
A balloon fountain worldwide is a set of helium balloons tied to ribbons of different lengths and gathered at a small weight. Because the ribbons are staggered, the balloons rise in tiers rather than forming a tight bunch, and the fountain stands on the floor or a table without anything holding it up from above.
Next to the fountains in the same grid sit the clouds: Balloon Cloud No. 1, No. 2, Soft, Pur-Pur and the Premium Balloon Cloud No. 1. A cloud reads differently in the photo, but its build is not described on the page, so the clearest way to compare them is the product photo itself.
Number with Balloon Fountains sets a number beside balloon fountains standing either side of it, so the number stays the focus while the fountains frame it. Double Start does a similar job without a number: two fountains stand together, matched in colour.
For a birthday that needs less deciding, the Happy Birthday Balloon Set and the Catherine set arrive already put together. Whichever fountain is chosen, a card comes with it at no extra cost; it can carry a name and a message, or be left blank so the sender stays anonymous.
Choosing a palette: soft pinks, white and gold, red on black
Soft Rose, Pink and the Soft cloud share a pale pink palette. Balloon Cloud in White and Gold Tones pairs white with gold, and Monochrome keeps to a single colour throughout.
Fountain of Red Hearts with Black Balloons and From the Heart lean into a romantic contrast, red set against black or against pink. Firework and Starlight are named for a mood rather than one fixed colour, so the exact shade in each is worth checking against the product photo, and again against the photo the florist sends before the courier leaves.
How long helium balloons stay up
A latex balloon left untreated stays afloat for about half a day: latex is porous, helium works its way through the skin, and heat speeds that up. A foil balloon holds its lift for several days.
A polymer coating applied inside a latex balloon extends its lift to several days rather than hours. The practical answer is to pick a delivery date and time close to the celebration itself; orders for a chosen date and time are accepted for any zone.
Balloon fountain delivery worldwide with a bouquet
Balloons can be added to the same basket as a bouquet at checkout, so the two arrive as one order. Before the courier sets off, a photo of the finished fountain goes to the sender, and anything that needs correcting can still be asked for at that point.
The recipient is not called ahead of time unless the sender has asked for that. A hotel or an office takes the fountain in under its own rules. In the centre, delivery is free, and the exact timing for a given fountain shows in its own card; more on the delivery page. Payment is by Visa or Mastercard, and the total in the basket is final.
