Friendsgiving

Normally balloon garlands are attached to the outside of a bounce house rental. For this event, we chose to go against the norm and install the garland to the inside in order to create an overflowing effect. The colors were chosen to accompany the season of fall. The burgundy and orange truly bring out the feeling of falling leaves during autumn and the addition of a lighter color, such as the blush, made the garland even more vibrant. This event was for a group of 6 people therefore, the decor added fun and liveliness to an intimate atmosphere.

Store Re-Opening

This was for a local business who remodeled their building to its original state and re-opened as a wedding venue! The goal was for the balloons to attract people to the opening and they did just that! They served as a fun photo spot for vendors inside and people walking by. It brought visitors into the building and made it clear there was an event happening.

With balloon styling we really enjoy allowing the colors/props to giveaway the theme and these colors did just that. We incorporated the traditional pink of Barbie, including a chrome mauve to add dimension. My favorite part, the shimmer wall, created an ocean-like feel and tied perfectly with the purple balloons. This installation was setup right beside a pool and lake so the vibrant colors truly brought to life the imagination of mermaids. As soon as the children came running in I remember them shouting “This is the best day ever!” and it had only just begun.

70th Birthday Celebration

The client loved Betty Boop so I did research and found this awesome standee and accented with vibrant red and gold balloons. The party was at a home, so when you entered the house it was the first thing the guests saw. The “ooowwws” and “ahhhhss” were endless! 

It’s a Girl!

The client was looking for a minimalistic and classy look with soft colors and a pop of chrome. This 12ft Organic Garland with chrome ropes added a beautiful focal point and photo backdrop for which the mother-to-be sat in front of to open gifts. 

It’s a Boy!

Our custom made bear theme background is a must for all baby showers. This particular theme is a very popular choice for a baby boy’s shower. The colors were chosen to complement the theme: baby blue, caramel, white sand, metallic gold.

Gender Reveal Baby Shower

We always use blue and pink for baby showers, so I thought we would give it a soft different approach and add some soft beige to the design. This balloon setup creates a beautiful backdrop for photos and the venue for a baby shower or gender reveal. You can use different and unique color combinations with balloons and even create new colors by double stuffing balloons.

This was my very first wedding install and I am still so in love with this setup! The bride’s colors were the lighter pink and white, and she left the other colors up to me and I love how it came together. This was a backdrop for pictures, and the centerpiece decor for the event. Weddings are my favorite event to create for; It’s such a beautiful magical day and I love being able to play a small part in that.

A Surprise Birthday Party

The client wanted a black balloon install. I added the accent of the gold balloons to make the balloons stand out and also match the happy birthday backdrop. I love for my balloon installs to be the first thing seen when a guest enters the event. Seeing balloons at an event sets the mood. It made this event magical.

    The birthday girl was adamant on wanting a neon themed Bat Mitzvah, so we brought that to life! We thought of every possible neon color and incorporated it into this 10ft balloon wall. The accents of Orbz and spark balloons are truly what brought this wall to life with dimension. This balloon wall was the focal point of the party. It was a “WOW” factor that brought the guests together for memorable photos and silly videos.

    2-Year-Old Birthday

    This client was looking for colors that matched their son’s shirt. We went with softer colors that made a statement but didn’t take the focus away from the 2-year-old in the photos. The 5ft #2 Balloon Mosaic was the perfect photo prop. No need for a backdrop or multiple props, the mosaic was all that was needed to make the statement that the little boy turned 2.

    Influencer Jewelry Gifting Event

    This event was an influencer night for a local jewelry business. The colors coordinated with the company’s logo and shop colors. The moon shape was the original debut shape of company, paying homage to their beginnings. Decor served as accent decor piece, and photo spot.

    Company Holiday Party

    Nashville, TN

    The party theme was ‘Winter Wonderland’ so we went with a white, chrome blue and chrome silver organic balloon arch. We added snowflake, starburst, and ornament embellishments. The arch placement was chosen so employee attendees could walk through the arch upon entering, but could also enjoy looking at it from sitting at their tables close by. The venue was huge which can ultimately be a distraction, so having eye-catchy balloon decor that makes a statement draws the attention of attendees. The decor served to get attendees excited about the upcoming holiday season and also provided a photo op.
