so what do you think? will you be having balloons or other props at your engagement session or wedding?

I think if they're appropriate to a couple's personality or story and they are introduced in a subtle or clever way that doesn't detract from the couple then they are a nice prop. However, couple's should be aware of what's trendy, like right now many are using ballons, suitcases or even oranges. If a couple wants to be unique and not have pictures just like everyone else, they should simply be themselves.
Truly, from a photographer's standpoint...the balloons were cute the first time. It's way past then.
AWESOME POST! Well I LURVE balloons. Balloons are such a big part of our childhood memories and I always relate them to happiness and celebration...who couldn't love 'em! When a couple is feeling a little shy or uncomfortable in front of the camera...having a prop or too makes relax and focus on something other then the camera. Pull out a couple of fake mustaches and see how quickly that breaks the ice and makes people laugh and be themselves. If it works and the photos look beautiful and whimsical and inspiring I say bring on the props!!
