So.. To be a little more specific (I used to do this As a business so know relative costs)
The prices quoted were for a selection of 3-balloon bunches for individual decoration, as well as two 4foot columns with 10inch balloons in red white and blue colours with the appropriate 3foot balloon on top to complete the look. This will also include stands for both of the columns and delivery.
To be clear however, you can get an arch from eBay sure, a simple string of pearls, BUT you will sacrifice two things, quality and longevity.
The balloon decorator I spoke to will be using qualatex balloons, the best quality so they are least likely to go down on their own, and also hi float, a substance put in the balloons specifically to help them stay up.
I priced this up myself and for the helium alone to do the bunches it was going to be expensive, not including the balloon prices from trade sources I have access to as a qualatex certified balloon artist.
It's like everything, you can go eBay cheap and get Nasty balloons that will look horrific, and go down after 2 hours. Or you can do it properly.
This price will also include some foil balloons Which are 2-3 quid each and the 3foot balloons on top of the columns.

Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!
