    Kayla's fairy first birthday arch in pink and lilac balloons with a light-up one and mossy detail

    It usually starts with a balloon arch.

    Most celebrations start with a balloon arch, and that's where I started too. Plenty of people still come to me just for balloon arch hire or a few balloon garlands, and I love those jobs. Over eight years and more than 400 events, though, I've learned that balloons look their best when the rest of the room is styled around them.

    So now I build the whole setting: backdrops, props, personalised name boards and tablescapes, all chosen to sit with the balloons rather than compete with them.

    I work from my studio in Horley and cover the whole of Surrey, from family homes in Reigate and Oxted to garden parties in Cobham, Esher and Weybridge.

    What we make.

    Laura created a beautiful balloon hoop garland for my son's Christening. It was a beautiful piece of decor and we received loads of compliments about it. It really transformed the event hall and was stunning. Laura was really easy to communicate with and had great creative vision for the event. I would highly recommend this company for event decor.

    I would wholly recommend Laura - she did a fantastic job at supplying the decorations for my daughter's birthday party. The balloons looked absolutely stunning and transformed the room.

    Indoors, an arch stays full and bright for several days, often longer. Outdoors, sun and heat shorten that, so I'll always suggest the best spot and timing for your garden.

    Yes. I install everything before your guests arrive and come back afterwards to take it all down, so there's nothing left for you to deal with.

    It depends on the size, the colours and where it's going, so I quote each one to your design. If you'd like the backdrop, props and name board too, full party styling starts from £300.

    As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and school holidays. Balloons can often be done at shorter notice, so if your date is close, do still get in touch.

    Yes. Send me your palette, a theme or a photo you love and I'll match the balloons to it, with names or messages added in vinyl if you'd like.

    Yes, and it's what most families do. Full styling starts with the balloons and builds the backdrop, props and name board around them, from £300.

    I'm based in Horley and cover all of Surrey, including Reigate, Cobham, Oxted, Esher, Weybridge and Guildford, plus nearby parts of London, Sussex and Kent. Just mention your postcode when you enquire.

    Let's create something beautiful.

    Celebrations begin from £300, each one tailored to your brief. We take on a limited number of events each month, so book early to secure your date, or call Laura on 07872 114191.
