I agree completely with Allison's suggestion.
When we built the 1999-2000 NYE show for the MGM Grand, we used several weather balloons, lit with wash lights, and gobos to look like planets.
They look light perfectly.  The effect was striking.
They were cheap (ish), light, easy to use and hang.... Pretty much ideal for our purposes.

I have pictures somewhere of the lit, and unlit stages (all white, completely decorated with light... extremely cool).

I'll see if I can dig them out.

How about a weather balloon?  Did projections and lighting for a dance piece ...
