It can be difficult to measure a balloon organic garland. This guide should help to understand how to measure a garland. Or how to get the prettiest garland for the available budget.

By looking at that picture, we can assume that the size of the door is about 8-9 feet in height and 6 feet wide. We hope this is a standard-size large double door. Unless we know the actual measurement from some custom size door. The garland should cover a bit more than the actual door. That adds one or one and a half feet in size to make it hang over the door.
Making a garland takes different sizes of balloons inflated with air. There are 5, 11, 16, 24 inches balloons that can be inflated to the appropriate sizes to keep their shapes more rounded. That means an 11-inch balloon doesn’t get inflated all the way to 11 inches, it’s going to be 7-8 or 9 inches to keep the shapes pretty and rounded. But the 24-inch. and 30-inch balloons can get inflated all the way. For the purpose to get the largest size balloons.
