🐻🍯 Sometimes a customer asks for something you’ve wanted to try for ages… and this year, Emily’s birthday was exactly that!
A Winnie the Pooh theme has been on my balloon wish list for so long, so when Emily decided she wanted to spend her birthday in the Hundred Acre Wood, it was time to give it a go.
Now, I’ll happily admit I’m not a professional balloon twister! 😅 But when the birthday girl says “go big or go home”, what choice do you have? So many hours went into creating Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and friends. There were popped balloons, balloons that didn’t quite behave, balloons that made me start all over again, and a few moments where I questioned my life choices! 😂
Are they perfect? Probably not.
But were they perfect in the eyes of an excited 8-year-old? Absolutely. ❤️
Every year Emily chooses a completely different theme, and I love being part of bringing her ideas to life. (Although Emily… if you’re reading this… maybe something simple next year? 🤣)
And if anyone ever says, “They’re just balloons,” please show them this.
Because it’s never just balloons.
It’s hours of planning, creating, problem-solving and starting again. It’s patience, determination, imagination and a whole lot of love poured into every single detail. It’s taking a vision from someone’s head and turning it into something real.
The best bit? Seeing it all come together and knowing how much joy it will bring.
Happy 8th Birthday, Emily! Have the most amazing day with all your Hundred Acre Wood friends. 🍯🐻💛
And can we just take a moment to appreciate the rest of the room décor and that incredible cake?! WOW!
