Gumball toppers are especially effective for themed events where attention to detail can make all the difference.Light-Up OptionsLight-up options bring a dynamic element to balloon columns, particularly for evening or indoor events. LED lights can be placed inside the top balloon, illuminating the entire column and creating a magical atmosphere. This is a popular choice for events like weddings, corporate parties, or any occasion where you want to add a touch of sparkle and drama.Helium ToppersWhile helium is most commonly used for floating balloons, it can also be employed in column toppers to create a canopy or entrance arch. This is particularly effective for dance floors or grand entrances, adding an extra layer of sophistication and grandeur. Helium toppers can elevate the overall aesthetic of your event and provide a memorable experience for your guests.Other OptionsThe sky is the limit when it comes to other topper options.
