Every installation starts with the event's own colours

Balloon installations

Designed for the space, built by hand

Each piece is planned around your colours, theme and room, then built on site so it fits the space exactly.

Organic garlands

Clustered balloons in mixed sizes, built to frame a doorway, a table, a staircase or a backdrop.

Arches and backdrops

Arched panels with custom printed signs, dressed with a garland that climbs the side.

Lobbies and storefronts

Installations in your brand colours for offices, openings, front desks and launches.

Themed details

Foil shapes, starbursts and characters worked into the design: dice for a casino night, dinosaurs for a fifth birthday.

A sculpture that travels with you

Freestanding balloon sculptures, built in your colours and ready to pick up. Each one fits in the back of a standard SUV, so it can stand wherever the party is.

Beyond the balloons

The whole party, in the same colours

For hosts who want more than an arch. Daphne also plans the menu and the tables, then runs the day, so every detail carries the palette of the balloons.

  1. Weeks before

    The menu and the tables are planned with you, and you get a list of exactly what to buy.

  2. That morning

    The balloons go up. The tables are dressed to match.

  3. An hour before

    Your team is walked through the evening: what to pass, and when.

  4. Doors open

    You arrive as a guest.

  5. All evening

    The tables stay full and the night runs on time.

Design your colours

Choose up to four

These are the latex colours Daphne works with, in standard, metallic, pearl and crystal finishes. See them on an arch or a pickup sculpture, then send them with your inquiry or share them with whoever you are planning with.

Questions

Good to know

Where do you work?

Across Northern Virginia. If your event is further out, ask anyway.

How far ahead should I book?

As early as you can. Weekends go first, especially in spring and graduation season.

Can you match my colours or theme?

Yes. Pick colours above, or send invitations, swatches or inspiration photos with your inquiry.

Can balloons go outside?

Yes, with planning. Direct sun and heat soften latex and dull its finish, so we will talk through placement and timing for outdoor events.

How does a pickup sculpture work?

It is built to order in your colours, then you collect it and set it wherever you like. Each one fits in the back of a standard SUV.

Do you provide the food?

We plan the menu and the grazing tables with you, and give you a shopping list with exactly what to buy and how much. On the day, we set it all out and keep it looking full.

Can you work with my bartenders or caterer?

Yes. We brief your staff before guests arrive, on timing and on what to pass and when, and keep everyone on the same plan through the party.

What do you need from me?

The date, the venue and a feel for the look you want. We work out the rest together.
