If there is anything I love just as much as chevron, it’s hot air balloons. I don’t know if it’s the colors or the way they seem to float effortlessly through the air — but I find them quite fascinating! And I believe they can inspire many beautiful ideas. Check out these hot air balloon finds and let your imagination soar…
This lovely hot air balloon invitation is a special delivery, all the way from Australia. And this little darling is only a sneak peak of the whimsical birthday that followed — styled by Kiss Me Kate with party printables by Anders Ruff .
Here’s another room from Sweden to drool over! We featured two girls bedrooms from Sweden recently, that were simply amazing and now we found this. The hot air balloon curtains are heavenly!
There are lots of party planning ideas from weddings and bridal showers that you can borrow and incorporate into your baby shower or kids’ parties. We’re totally smitten with these hot air balloon centerpieces from a San Diego wedding.
Hold me! This whimsical hot air balloon cake is just too cute. This would make such a great cake inspiration for a first birthday — or any kiddie birthday!
Come fly with me! I’m head-over-heels in love with this hand screen-printed hot air balloon throw pillow cover ($38).
Excuse me while I channel my inner Janice (from Friends) and go: Oh My “Gawd”! This vintage hot air balloon baby shower is to die for!!! I love the soft color palette — and the hot air balloon cookie pops!

I am in LOVE with those curtains!!
Love them all. I am just as obsessed with hot air balloons, so to add to the list is my own DIY’ed version that now hung in my daughter’s big girl room.

I’ve also got a tutorial on how to do it in my old blog:

@Elle, OMG!!! Your daughter’s room is sooo cute! And you are crazy talented. Those hot air balloons are amazing. I’ll be emailing you soon about both =)
I think I’ll have colorful hot air balloons on my next birthday. These photos are lovely and they bring out the kid in everyone! My favorite? That really, really cute cake!
Great post! I love hot air balloons as well, and my boyfriend and I took a ride on one 2 years ago which was wonderful. We are expecting our first baby in the beginning of February and the first thing we bought for the nursery was this colorful poster which features lots of hot air balloons:

@Steffie van den Akker, That’s lovely! What a great find! I love elephants — especially Babar!
Where did you find the curtains? (Or the material?) I love them!!
