The present invention relates to a holder for balloons, flowers or the like on sticks, comprising a holder element having a mounting surface adapted to be securely attached to a support structure byattachment means located on the mounting surface. At least one receptacle of predetermined depth is adapted to tightly hold a lower portion of the stick by a secure means located within the receptacle, wherein the secure means adapted to securely hold a stick of various diameters. The mounting surface is adapted to be securely attached to a vertical wall or fixture, and wherein a longitudinal centerline of the receptacle is tilted away from the mounting surface to provide less displacement and reduction of bending moment of an upper end of a stick having a balloon or flower attached, which in turn allows reduction of the peeling force applied to the attachment means. The angle between the longitudinal centerline of the receptacle and the mounting surface is at least 1/2 degree. The holder element having a number of receptacles adapted to securely hold a plumage-type arrangements of balloons or flowers. The secure means is provided by means of tapering of the receptacle downwardly from an entrance towards a bottom portion, wherein the receptacle becomes progressively tighter as the stick is further inserted inside of the receptacle.
