by The Balloon Pop Co. — Balloon Decor Experts Serving Ontario Ranch, Inland Empire, and Los Angeles County
There is something truly magical about a first birthday. It’s that one celebration where everything feels soft, sentimental, and full of love — and choosing a theme as adorable as strawberries brings that magic to life in the sweetest way. At The Balloon Pop Co., strawberry themes have quickly become one of our most requested designs for first birthdays across Ontario Ranch and the surrounding area, and for good reason: they’re bright, joyful, nostalgic, and absolutely perfect for photos.
Recently, we designed a full strawberry balloon setup at Little Elephants Play Space, one of the top kid-friendly party venues for families in Ontario Ranch, Eastvale, Chino, Rancho Cucamonga, and the Inland Empire. With its clean, modern look and safe play environment, Little Elephants pairs beautifully with balloon decor — especially a colorful theme like strawberries.
If you're planning a first birthday party and searching for strawberry balloon decor, first birthday balloons, organic balloon garlands, or balloon decorators near Ontario Ranch, this post will guide you through everything you need to know to create the cutest berry sweet celebration.
WHY STRAWBERRY BALLOONS ARE PERFECT FOR FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTIES
Strawberries are naturally whimsical and baby-friendly. The theme instantly gives you a sense of sweetness, playfulness, and childhood charm — perfect for celebrating that “first year around the sun.”
Here’s why families love strawberry themes:
• Fun, bright colors that toddlers love
• Works with modern or vintage styles
• Easy to customize with shades of pink, red, blush, or pastel greens
• Looks flawless in photos
• Perfect for signage like “One Berry Cute,” “A Berry Sweet Birthday,” or “Our Little Berry Turns One”
• Works beautifully at indoor venues like Little Elephants
This theme also blends seamlessly with balloon decor because balloons mimic the full, round, fresh look of real berries. With the right color palette and details, the theme becomes instantly recognizable and visually irresistible.
OUR STRAWBERRY BALLOON DESIGNS AT LITTLE ELEPHANTS PLAY SPACE
When we design for Little Elephants Play Space, we always focus on making the decor beautiful, safe, and functional. Because the space is built for children to explore and play, every installation is strategically placed to enhance the party without getting in the way.
Here’s what we created for this adorable strawberry first birthday:
1. A Full, Organic Strawberry Balloon Backdrop
Every great first birthday needs a standout photo moment — and this was it.
Our balloon backdrop included:
• A custom palette of red, pink, rose, blush, and white
• Berry-inspired round clusters that mimic strawberries
• Pops of green for leafy accents
• Optional strawberry-shaped balloons
• A sweet custom sign like “Berry One” or “Berry Sweet Baby”
This backdrop became the highlight of the party, used for cake smash photos, family pictures, and group shots with guests.
2. Overhead Berry Balloon Garland Across the Play Area
Little Elephants has high ceilings and clean lines, making it the perfect spot for suspended decor. Parents love this because it:
• Adds color without taking up floor space
• Keeps everything out of toddler reach
• Makes the entire space feel decorated, not just one corner
• Looks incredible in photos of the play areas
We designed the garland with a soft, organic flow that feels playful and modern.
3. Mini Strawberry Balloon Clusters for the Dessert Table
Dessert tables are always a focus at first birthday parties — and balloon accents give them that extra “wow” moment.
We added:
• Small clusters in berry tones
• Green accents to mimic strawberry stems
• Coordinating balloons behind the table for a cohesive aesthetic
These details made the dessert area look polished, intentional, and irresistibly cute.
4. Full Perimeter Styling for a Berry Patch Effect
For families wanting that fully immersive strawberry theme, we also offer:
• Balloon clusters along the entrance
• A “strawberry patch walkway” moment
• Balloon pieces near the snack table or gift table
• Small berry balloons tied around signage or play structures
At Little Elephants Play Space, this creates a full-room transformation without interfering with play areas.

• It’s safe, soft, and toddler-friendly
