Mardi Gras Carnival in Birmingham!!

2010-04-21T01:43:00.000-07:00

Last week was a fabulous celebration for Broadway Casino. Celebrating 5 years of trading as an independant casino & they put on a real show for clients. We were booked to provide the decor and boy was it BIG! Setting to work (back breaking) Melissa Johnson, designed and built a 9ft balloon carnival mask which she suspended between two 6ft twisted balloon columns. This was the backdrop for their photographer aswel as a welcome display. Follow link below for pics. Placing floor and table clusters around the casino in true carnival colours transformed the atmosphere ready for the dancing girls!
What a fabulous way to celebrate & we loved setting the scene.

Hello people! Well, our abscence from Blogging has been due to an averlanche of work over easter! We have decorated and supplied PR balloons with every bit of enthusiasm as usual. Next we are in a Tesco store tomorrow for a great franchise hitting the midlands over the next few months so our balloon arch will be a real visual ice breaker aswel as attracting customers letting them know there is something going on!
Over easter we worked with Indie Bar in the Arcadian, Birmingham City Centre & supplied balloons for a promotion. It's always the same, as we walk into the bar, bunches of balloons in our hands, we get bombarded with
requests! " can we have a balloon?" never fails. We can custom print your logo or message onto balloons for great promotion work aswel as print your staff's promo workwear. Prices vary so please enquire & we will discuss our idea's to make your event a success.
Hope you had a great Easter & are enjoying this wonderful sunshine we are having, if you are on school/work hols then enjoy!

And the winner is.....

January has been very different to how I imagined. Thought I'd be able to do a bit of this and that during this month whilst it was quiet?
NOT AT ALL! What a mad month..starting working 2nd Jan' after working solid through December and in between Christmas/New year. So glad people are planning their celebrations in advance. Last year was non stop 'last minute' bookings even weddings!
My best advise if you are planning a celebration..book now! We never overbook days so that we never have to rush an event, concentrating on quality & not quantity.
Looking forward to a superb year!

This problem has been reported to the manufacturer who have said they 'are aware of the problem' which is frustrating. We hope this is only temporary. This does not effect giant foil NUMBER balloons, these are produced by a different company and do not have reported issues therefore continue to provide these superb balloons.

Christmas Decor

2009-11-03T08:11:00.000-08:00

I don't know about the rest of you but i think I'm not alone when I say where has the year gone??!!
This Industry starts Christmas around the end of August so I've been designing since then to bring new decor to Blissful Balloons. Luckily, Balloons have had a real injection of new products this season aswel as classic designs loved year upon year.
My suggestions for your Christmas & New Year get togethers are:
Exploding balloon packing with baby balloons & flutter fetti..ready for midnight & the photo's are amazing.
Balloon Christmas tree..made entirely out of balloons! Last year I made these for a local church, someone's porch, Local shop aswel as Sandwell Council so why not be different this year..book now to order yours, they start from only £40 for 5ft high & can last for weeks!
Also this is my latest idea.. how about snow cloud's, raining tiny snow drops in white & ice blue or how about funky colour's to match your main decor..just let me know!
Best of luck with all the shopping & remember..make sure you schedule in time to meet with friends & family for a festive tipple...x

Balloon Ceiling

2009-09-30T12:32:00.001-07:00

Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd share somethink with you..tomorrow I'm decorating a superb local venue for an 18th Birthday party..great designs. However, I've been asked to do a 100 balloon ceiling. This would normally be ok but the part my client has hired is the only part without a suspended ceiling!! Totally exposed beams ect..wehey..a challenge is always great but I'm not able to magic a ceiling in a few hours...Harry Potter where are you??
