Another wee update from us...

Going forward, we have made the decision to focus only on working alongside other local businesses to bring you spectacular annual events and displays 🌷💞🎃🎄🎈

This means we will no longer take bookings for private events, such as bridal and baby showers, weddings, and such like.

We will, however, have some items for hire, including our beautiful Balloon Hoop, peacock chair, and balloon tower for your special occasions. Please email [email protected] for more info 📨

Thank you all SO MUCH for your continued support, and we look forward to working with fellow businesses to bring you some wonderful events and displays in the near future 🫶

As 2024 draws to a close, we want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of our wonderful customers for their support - be it through booking us for your special events, liking our posts, sharing our content or your kind words, it means a great deal ♥️

We will be taking an extended break at the start of 2025 to relax, recharge, and go 'off grid'. This means we will not be active on social media but can still be reached by emailing [email protected] for any enquiries. Please note that we won't be offering any setups during our downtime.

We will be back to it in the springtime 🌼🌷🪻

Thank you for your understanding 🫶
