For event stylists and balloon artists, investing in the right props can transform your business. Not only do quality backdrops and structures elevate your displays, but they also pay for themselves after just a few hires.
At Events Right, we specialise in props to buy in Northampton that are designed for professionals — durable, versatile, and easy to set up — helping you style events that wow your clients and boost your profits.
Why Event Props Are a Smart Investment
- Reusable across multiple events – one sailboard can be styled hundreds of ways with balloons, signage, or vinyls.
- High demand year-round – weddings, birthdays, baby showers, and corporate events all require strong focal points.
- Upsell opportunities – pair a backdrop with balloons, flowers, or neon signs to increase hire prices.
Best-Selling Props That Pay for Themselves
- Ripple Sailboards (from £160–£180)
These textured panels add instant depth to balloon displays. Perfect for high-end weddings or modern birthdays, they hire out at premium rates while costing you just once. - Rectangle & Beaded Rectangle Sailboards (from £80)
Sturdy, lightweight, and endlessly versatile. The beaded edge version adds a luxury finish, ideal for weddings and corporate clients. - Hollow Arches (from £70)
A striking alternative to flat boards, hollow arches create dynamic balloon frames that always draw attention. - Half Arch & Wavy Sailboards (from £50–£150)
Great for smaller venues or pairing in sets, these unique boards give stylists more creative freedom without a big upfront cost. - Cake Stands & Plinths (from £100)
Not just for cakes — these props are hireable for product displays, parties, and corporate launches. Small investment, big return. - Light Up Letters & Numbers (from £200)
Always in demand for milestone birthdays and weddings. They hire out easily and add instant profit to your package. - 3D Arches & Circle Backdrops (from £225–£450)
Larger props that command higher hire prices. Designed in multiple parts for easier storage and transport, they’re a long-term investment for professionals.
