Not even two months. 🥹
Beyond the Moment Events officially had our grand opening on July 24, 2026, and lately I’ve had to remind myself just how NEW this business really is.
I’ve been decorating parties, planning celebrations, putting together photoshoots, and creating things for YEARS. I can take someone’s idea, theme, colors, or even a few inspiration pictures and pull the entire vision together — that’s the part I absolutely love.
But building Beyond the Moment has also pushed me into things that ARE new to me. Balloon columns, organic arches, garlands, towers and some of the larger balloon installations are something I’m still learning. I’m not going to pretend I’ve been doing them forever because I haven’t. Every setup teaches me something new, and every time I do one, I can already see where I’ve improved and what I want to do differently the next time. And when we get back from vacation? I’m practicing. And practicing. And practicing some more. 😂 I’m going to build arches just to take them down. Make columns just to redo them. Try different sizing, shapes, techniques and designs until my hands can create exactly what my brain is picturing.
Because I don’t want to just be okay at what I do. I want to keep learning and getting better.
When I catch myself looking at my work and thinking, “I could’ve done that better,” I have to remember:
It hasn’t even been two months.
I’m learning. I’m investing. I’m experimenting. I’m building a portfolio. I’m discovering my style. And most importantly, people are trusting me with birthdays, weddings, celebrations, photoshoots and moments they’ll remember for years. I don’t expect my work today to look like my work a year from now. I hope it doesn’t. I hope a year from now I can look back at these pictures and see just how much I grew. For now, I’m proud of the beginning. 🤍
Also Beyond the Moment is SO much more than balloons. I create custom invitations, flyers, welcome signs, treat bags, QR codes, games, event signage, personalized details and more. I help bring together the colors, decorations, tables, backdrops and all those little details that turn an idea into an actual event. I can help you plan the vision AND help bring that vision to life.
We’re just getting started. ✨
