Classic balloon décor will always have my heart! 🎈❤️💛💚💙

It was such a pleasure helping Huntsville Utilities celebrate 85 years with balloon décor throughout their anniversary celebration — including this grand entrance arch and a custom photo backdrop!

Thank you, Huntsville Utilities, for trusting Designs by Essence to add a little extra POP to such an incredible milestone! ✨

It’s OFFICIAL! 🎈 Balloon Foundations is here!

After years of creating balloon décor, training alongside some incredible professionals in the balloon industry, working on large-scale builds, and helping create installations for everything from corporate events to weddings and celebrations — I’m bringing that experience into the classroom.

Introducing:

✨ Balloon Foundations with Designs by Essence
A Hands-On Beginner Balloon Workshop

This class was created for aspiring balloon professionals, newer decorators, and creatives who are ready to move beyond watching tutorials and start learning the techniques behind professional balloon décor.

And we are going to BUILD. 🙌🏾

You'll learn:
• Balloon sizing, inflation & basic techniques
• Classic balloon column construction
• Classic balloon arch techniques
• Quick Link wall fundamentals
• Adding organic accents to classic décor

Every student will also build their own classic balloon column from start to finish and leave with a take-home practice kit so the learning doesn't stop when class ends.

Flashback Friday! 💛🎈

Because some balloon installs are just too good to stay in the archives! 😍

Throwing it back to this custom gold balloon arch we created for Dunkin’ during its Gold Joy initiative supporting children battling cancer.

One of my favorite things about balloon décor is seeing the finished design become part of the moment — whether it’s a corporate event, community initiative, grand opening, celebration, or the perfect photo spot.

And this GOLD?! ✨ She definitely deserved another moment on the timeline. 😂💛
