🎀 The Charm of a Tea Party: Why Choose This Theme?

A Mother’s Day tea party is more than just a beautiful setup — it’s a heartfelt and intimate experience that encourages meaningful conversation and joyful moments. The best part? It’s adaptable to any space: from a small garden table to a cozy corner in your living room or a styled breakfast nook. It’s a DIY celebration that feels truly special.

🎨 Choosing the Perfect Color Palette (Yes, from Gemar Balloons!)

Color harmony sets the tone for your entire tea party setup. For this Mother’s Day theme, we recommend soft, floral-inspired tones — all available in Gemar Balloons, known for their premium quality and rich pigmentation:

  • Baby Pink (#073) and Lilac (#079): sweet, feminine, and timeless

  • Mint Green (#050) and Grey (#070): a soft yet modern balance

  • Baby Yellow (#043): a cheerful pop that adds gentle warmth

Use these colors across your balloon decorations, tableware, napkins, and linens for a perfectly styled, cohesive look.

🎈 Balloons that Bring Personality to the Party

Balloons aren’t just for kids — they’re the secret to adding a whimsical, romantic, and elegant touch to your Mother’s Day balloon decorations. Here are some DIY balloon ideas to elevate the experience:

  • A low, voluminous balloon centerpiece for the table

  • A bubble balloon customized with mom’s name or a heartfelt message

  • Our top pick: the Romantic Teapot foil balloon with floral and butterfly details — a stunning centerpiece for your tea station

  • Helium balloon bouquets combining foil and Gemar latex balloons in your chosen color palette

💡 Pro tip: Use Deco Float to keep helium-filled balloons floating longer. It’s cost-effective and gives amazing results!
