And when the celebration is held at Little Elephants Play Space, the result is pure magic.
In this guide, we are sharing everything you need to know about creating the perfect strawberry first birthday balloon setup — from color palettes to setup ideas to photo-friendly designs. If youre searching for first birthday balloons, strawberry party decor, or balloon decorators near Ontario Ranch, this post will help you plan, prep, and book with confidence.
WHY STRAWBERRY THEMES ARE PERFECT FOR FIRST BIRTHDAYS
Strawberries are the ultimate baby-friendly theme: sweet, simple, and adorable. They work beautifully for both girls and boys, and they photograph incredibly well. They also offer so much flexibility, which is perfect for Little Elephants Play Space — a venue designed with clean, modern, neutral tones.
Families choose strawberry-themed balloons because:
• The color palette is cheerful and bright
• Strawberries symbolize sweetness and growth
• Its a theme little ones recognize
• It looks amazing in photos
• You can style it soft and pastel or bold and vibrant
• It works with rustic, modern, minimal, or playful decor
This theme brings joy the moment guests walk in — and balloons take that joy to the next level.
OUR STRAWBERRY BALLOON DESIGNS FOR LITTLE ELEPHANTS PLAY SPACE
We love designing for Little Elephants because the venue layout makes balloon styling seamless. The neutral walls allow colors to pop beautifully, and the play structure offers plenty of spacing for decor that enhances, not overwhelms.
Here is what we typically create for a strawberry theme at this venue:
1. The Signature Strawberry Balloon Backdrop
This is the heart of the celebration — the spot where families take:
• Cake smash photos
• Parent-and-baby portraits
• Group family pictures
• Candid birthday moments
Our strawberry backdrop includes:
• Full, organic balloon clusters
• Reds, pinks, blush, and whites
• Berry-inspired accent balloons
• Optional greenery for a garden feel
• Strawberry-shaped balloon add-ons
• Custom signage or a “One Berry Sweet Baby” sign
We place this backdrop near the front of the play space so it flows naturally with guest arrival and photo-taking.
2. Play Space-Friendly Balloon Garlands
Because Little Elephants is designed for active little ones, we make sure all decor is safe, secure, and out of reach. Overhead garlands are one of our most popular strawberry additions.
These garlands:
• Run across beams or door frames
• Add color without using floor space
• Create a cohesive berry-bright look
• Provide visual height for photos and videos
Organic balloon styles pair perfectly with the venue’s clean lines.
3. Strawberry Dessert Table Balloon Accent
Dessert tables are always a guest favorite — and balloons make them irresistible.
We decorate the table area with:
• Mini garlands
• Balloon clusters shaped like berries
• Pops of greenery
• Strawberry cutouts or accents
It creates a magical moment where kids and adults both light up.
4. Full Room Styling for a Berry Garden Feel
Families who want the full, immersive look can choose:
• Floor clusters
• Small berry accents around the play structure
• Balloon centerpieces
• A mini arch at the snack table
• A berry patch entrance moment
This transforms Little Elephants into a bright, berry themed playground.
