Boots & Balloons Events

✨ HELLO AGAIN, BOOTS & BALLOONS FAMILY! ✨

Hi everyone! 💕 I wanted to take a little bit of time to reintroduce myself, especially for those of you who may be newer to the page, and also give a little update on what’s been going on with Boots & Balloons Events.

I’ve had a few people reach out and ask if everything is okay because they’ve noticed I haven’t been posting as much or doing as many events lately. First of all, thank you for noticing, checking in, and continuing to support me. It truly means more than you know. 🩷

So, hi! My name is Samantha, and I am the owner and founder of Boots & Balloons Events. I started this business a little over a year ago, and honestly, this business has become something very special to me.

When I first started, I had no idea what I was doing. 😂 I was learning as I went, figuring things out, trying new things, and slowly building something that I could truly call my own. Getting to meet so many wonderful people, create special things for their celebrations, and have people trust me with their events has meant so much to me.

I am incredibly grateful for everyone who supported me when I was just getting started, whether you booked with me, shared a post, recommended me to someone, liked a photo, or simply encouraged me. Every bit of support has helped me get to where I am today. 🥹🩷

With that being said, life has gotten pretty busy for me recently!

I currently work two other jobs, including a new job in healthcare, and I also work at a local boutique. Both of those jobs are very important to me, and I genuinely love what I do. Because of that, I’ve had to take a step back and find a better balance between work, life, and my business.

That does NOT mean Boots & Balloons Events is closing. 🎈

I am still here. I still love this business. I still love creating balloon garlands, helping people celebrate, and getting to be a small part of someone’s special day.

I’m simply not able to dedicate the same amount of time to the business right now that I was hoping to.

So if you message us, please don’t think we’re ignoring you! I may not be able to respond immediately, and it could take a day or two for me to get back to you, but I will get back to you. 💕

We are still accepting orders and bookings, but I am being a little more selective with the events I take on. I also won’t be traveling as far or taking on huge, elaborate events every single weekend like I once hoped to.

Right now, my goal is to keep Boots & Balloons Events going in a way that is manageable for me while still creating things that I love.

🎈 So, what do we offer?

✨ Balloon garlands & balloon decor
✨ Face painting
✨ Fair hair
✨ Party in a Box packages
✨ Grab-and-Go balloon kits
✨ DIY-friendly party options
✨ Event decor & styling
✨ And other custom party options!

Our Party in a Box and Grab-and-Go Kits are especially great for anyone who wants to create something beautiful themselves while still getting professional-quality supplies and guidance from us.

And we also have Sweet Southern Stitch, our handmade side of the business! 🧵💕 Sweet Southern Stitch focuses on homemade and sewn/upcycled gifts, keepsakes, blankets, clothing pieces, bookmarks, baskets, and other fun handmade items.

Boots & Balloons Events has grown and changed quite a bit since I first started, and I know it may continue to change as my life changes too.

Maybe someday I’ll be able to come back to doing this full-time. Maybe Boots & Balloons will grow into something even bigger than I originally imagined.

But for right now, I’m learning that it’s okay to slow down a little bit.

It’s okay to work toward other goals.

And it’s okay to continue loving something without having to do it full-time.

So, Boots & Balloons Events is still here. 🎈🤍

We aren’t closing. We aren’t disappearing. We’re just taking things a little slower and finding our new rhythm.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck around, supported me, recommended my business, booked with me, shared my posts, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines.

I truly wouldn’t be here without you. 🩷

Here’s to the next chapter of Boots & Balloons Events. 🎈✨

Western charm meets party perfection. 🤍

🌴✨ **26 LOOKS GOOD IN PARADISE!** ✨🌴

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to help celebrate a very special **26th birthday** with this fun Hawaiian-inspired setup! 🌺🍹🎈

From the tropical colors and island vibes to our **giant palm tree balloon design**, this setup was all about bringing a little piece of paradise to the party! 🌴💚 We had so much fun creating this tropical balloon addition and bringing the theme to life!

And a HUGE shoutout to **Made by Mel ** for painting this absolutely AMAZING Margaritaville-inspired banner! 🎨🌺 She is seriously so talented, and we were honored to be able to add our balloons alongside her beautiful work. Thank you so much for the sweet shoutout too—we appreciate you! 🥹💚

We had the privilege of being part of a very special celebration recently! 🎈❤️🖤

Boots & Balloons Events was honored to provide balloon décor for VIC's Crane & Heavy Haul as they celebrated an incredible **75 years in business!** 🎉 Being contacted and trusted to help decorate for such a large company and such a huge milestone truly meant so much to us. Congratulations again on 75 years! ❤️🖤🤍

✨ **A little note for anyone interested in ordering helium balloons:** We always want our customers to have realistic expectations about helium-filled latex balloons. We use products, including Hi-Float, and do everything we can to help extend their float time and keep them looking their best for as long as possible. However, latex helium balloons do not have a guaranteed float time, and many factors can affect them, including temperature changes, heat, airflow, wind, and the environment where they are displayed.

For multi-day events especially, we will always do our best to discuss the best options available for your setup. We put a lot of care into preparing each order, but once balloons are set up and an event is underway, conditions outside of our control can affect how long they last.

We are so thankful for every opportunity we get to be part of your celebrations—whether it's a birthday, wedding, company milestone, or any other special occasion. Thank you to everyone who trusts **Boots & Balloons Events** to bring a little extra fun and color to your events! 🥰🎈

Today, we had the honor of creating balloon décor for a beautiful Celebration of Life in memory of Caleb. 🤍

This setup was designed using his favorite colors—orange, black, red, and white—with special touches inspired by his love of motorcycles. Every balloon was placed with care to help create a space where family and friends could gather, share memories, and celebrate a life well lived.

Thank you to Caleb's family for trusting Boots & Balloons Events to be a small part of such a meaningful day. It was truly an honor to help create a space filled with love, remembrance, and celebration. 🏍️🤍
