     I really like Don's idea, but instead of the paperclips, could you 
simply tie the balloons onto monofillament line and then tie that to the 
column/pole.  It would be sort of like a tiny air filled string of pearls 
arch, that you lie on it's side to form a complete circle.  Seems like it 
would work (in theory at least) and would be super easy to remove and dispose 
of!  As each layer is nestled on top of the previous layer, it would keep 
them nice and sturdy.
