What we do

Built in the room, on the day

Garlands, arches, backdrops and props. Most of it is built on site, so it fits the room you have actually booked rather than the one in the brochure.

Was a great service. Would highly recommend. With beautiful attention to detail. Really beautiful balloons. And no hassle at all. Thanks so much.

Made to last the night, not the century

The balloons we use, and what happens to them after

Balloons get a bad name, and most of that comes down to what people do with them rather than what they are made of.

  • Latex is a natural material

    Latex balloons are made from the sap of the rubber tree. It is a plant material, it is renewable, and it breaks down naturally.

  • Foil gets used again

    Foil balloons are not biodegradable, so they are not treated as disposable. They come down carefully, get deflated and go back in the box for the next job.

  • Nothing is ever released

    Every display is weighted. No balloon release, no helium let go into the sky, nothing left to come down in a field or a river.

  • We take it away

    Installations are collected after the event, so the venue is left clear and the materials come back with us rather than going in a skip.
