You know we love a good celebration and we can come up with any reason to celebrate!   And while our celebrations typically involve popping a bottle of bubbly with friends, for this special occasion, we recruited some help from Signs and Love in Downers Grove, IL to create a fun bubbly vibe.

We love party balloons and it is such a great option to up-level an ordinary celebration.

Custom Balloon Decorations

Of course, we think about custom balloon decorations for kid’s birthday parties or milestone birthdays.  And balloon arches for bridal showers and baby showers to create the perfect photo ops.  

But just like we always say, sparkling wine or champagne should not be reserved for the big, perfect celebration, neither should custom balloon decorations.  They truly can transform any ordinary day into a special day.

How about using a balloon arrangement for your corporate events?  The best part is, they are completely customized party decorations, by Signs and Love that can be truly any size you want from balloon walls to balloon garlands.

Bubbly Side of Life Special Event

Now my special event, wasn’t a formal celebration, although that is coming and we will definitely be calling our neighbor on Main Street in Downers Grove to make our bubbly balloon dreams come true. 

Signs and Love in Downers Grove, Illinois custom balloon arrangement hiding the ugly, plain wall..

I needed to create a backdrop for a photo shoot I had scheduled.  And because we were trying to “hide” some ugly walls, I asked Signs and Love to create balloon columns and balloon arches to make the room pretty.  

And what’s even better, even though I told Kirsten at Signs and Love multiple times that I didn’t need a backdrop, she brought not one, but two anyway.  And you know what, the photographer loved and used that backdrop in almost every photo.

Kirsten at Signs and love couldn’t have made this process any easier.  Custom Balloon decorations are considered a preorder item since it’s completely customized to your occasion.  So I reached out to her, we chatted about the various balloon colors that I wanted and the type of balloon arrangement that I wanted to create the vibe for the photos.  

And she truly is the professional here and will completely guide you in the right direction.  I felt like I needed smaller items since the photo shoot was mainly focused on me, but knew that it needed to be a bit of a larger size than I was thinking to make it work.  And she was right.  In order to be able to move around and capture different angles, having a larger size arrangement was helpful.

And the set up was so fast! I was truly amazed because I am sure I would have popped bunches of balloons putting this altogether.  She’s comes on site with bags of balloon bouquets and quickly gets to work creating balloon magic….in my case, to transform my ugly wall into something fun.

I will say, this balloon arrangement really did exactly what I needed it to do:  hide an ugly wall and create a fun, bubbly vibe for the perfect photos.

Of course, because everything we do is bubbly themed, she included two foil balloons in the shape of a champagne bottle and glasses that we used in all different ways.
