🎓🤍💙 Full circle moment. 💙🤍🎓

Today I had the honor of creating these custom South Park Middle School graduation columns for the 8th grade promotion ceremony.

As a South Park alum myself, getting to come back and add a little celebration to a milestone like this feels extra special. Congratulations to all of the students moving on to their next chapter—you’ve got big things ahead!

And yes… those are custom SP logo toppers 😉✨

✨ Better late than never. ✨

Back in May, I got to make something extra special for two of my favorite clients… my mom and my gram. 🖤

These oversized helium bouquets featured custom vinyl appliqués, premium ribbon, and messages picked just for them:

🤍 Happy Mother’s Day
🤍 Their names
🤍 “I love you forever, I like you for always”

Because sometimes the people who have spent a lifetime cheering you on deserve a little something that reminds them how loved they are.

And judging by the smiles, I think they approved. 🥹

14 years of owl-ing around. 🦉💚

Last week I had the honor of helping celebrate Duolingo’s 14th DuoVersary with one of my favorite installs to date.

✨ Three monolithic all-foil arches
✨ A custom Duo the Owl balloon mosaic complete with a giant 1 & 4
✨ Twelve bright, bold, colorful columns designed to keep the party energy flowing all across campus

There’s something extra fun about creating for a company whose entire brand is built around creativity, color, and not taking itself too seriously. This one was big, loud, whimsical, and impossible to miss… exactly how a 14th birthday celebration should be.

Happy 14th birthday, Duo. Thanks for continuing to trust me to help bring the party. 💚🦉

🎓⚾ Grad season is still in full swing.⚾️🏟️🎓

For this recent South Park grad celebration, we brought the party to life with a custom baseball column, two number columns, and ceiling topiaries to help fill the space and keep the celebration feeling festive from floor to ceiling.

Congratulations, grad! Here’s to the next chapter. 🎉

🎓 Central Catholic ➡️ Kentucky 🐾💙

Had the pleasure of helping Angelo celebrate his graduation with two classic columns, a grab-and-go garland packed with all the delicious details, and coordinating centerpieces throughout the space.

Congratulations, Angelo! Wishing you nothing but success as you head off to the University of Kentucky this fall. 💙✨

It’s been seven days since B*APALOOZA and I’m still trying to process how lucky I am. 🖤

What started as a wild idea turned into one of the most love-filled, chaotic, hilarious, beautiful days of my life. To everyone who showed up, stayed all day, helped set up, cleaned up, hauled tents, blew up balloons, stocked coolers, got me drunk, danced in my yard, or simply took time to celebrate with me… thank you will never feel big enough. 🥹🖤

Special shout outs because these people absolutely SHOWED up:

🎂 Heather from Sugar Me Happy brought my cake dreams to life. The smash cake was GORGEOUS and exactly how I envisioned it. Unfortunately for her hard work… we absolutely smashed it. 😂 the parts that got crammed into my mouth and nostrils were decilous 😂

🍪 Danielle from Danielle’s Little Bakery came out of retirement for the most insanely beautiful hand-painted cookies. Nobody does it like her.

🍪 Aunt Darla & Uncle Kevin created the most immaculate cookie table imaginable. Pittsburgh people KNOW the importance of a good cookie table and yinz crushed it.

🐾 Celina spent all day doing tiny tattoos and dealing with our beautiful chaos. I’m obsessed with my little balloon dog.

🔊 Willie from 2nd II None Productions .pro made sure the entire Township of South Park knew I turned 40. 😂

And the biggest thank you to my parents, Dave & Jen Metz, for helping pull this entire thing together behind the scenes.

I’ve spent so much of my life building community through every season and version of myself, and getting to see all of those people together in one place is something I’ll genuinely never forget.

My cup is very, very full. 🖤

Gabriella N°16 🎀🖤

A little sweet sixteen luxury moment inspired by the one and only Chanel N°5… reimagined for the birthday girl herself.

This setup featured a custom branded balloon bouquet, focal piece for the mantle that included, organic clusters and drippy strings of pearls, 16 picture perfect helium balloons and all the soft glam details to bring the whole vision together. Honestly obsessed with how this one turned out. ✨

Happy 16th Birthday, Gabriella.🎀🖤
