For the Budget Minded Bride

Just a couple more views of the wedding we did at A Learning Place in Piqua, OH this past weekend. Simple balloon bouquets for each table, a Link-O-Loon entry arch, balloons for the head table and a 24' backdrop behind the head table. Budget minded? Aren't we all? If you're thinking thousands, you're way over. But the memories and impact to the photographs taken that day were priceless to the bride & groom and their families.

Wedding Head Table With & Without a Backdrop

We work with our brides to help them create the look they want. In the top picture you see what the head table look like when we arrived. Someone had already started the decorating. The bottom picture shows how it looked when we were finished. We added a backdrop and 5 simple balloons to turn this head table into center stage for our bride & groom and their wedding party.

Brutus The Buckeye

Warning: this may be offensive to Michigan State fans. Okay, I didn't get a picture of the finished product so you'll have to imagine how Brutus the Buckeye looks holding a balloon bouquet with Ohio State balloons. He's going to make an Ohio State fan who is turning 60, smile today.

Ft. Loramie Liberty Days Parade

We had a great fun at the Ft. Loramie Liberty Days Parade. Thank you to all the family that helped us put together our float. Your fun & hard work payed off; we won Best Comedy Float. Who knew? All in a days work at Balloon Creations & Gifts, LLC. Ruffles & Giggles twisted balloons in the park after the parade. Thanks again to J & K Landscaping of Sidney, OH who loaned us the trailer for our float. Our sincerest condolences at the lost of your son. God's peace be with your family.

Brady the Wedding Dog

We often get asked to make a Bride and Groom for weddings, however this Bride wanted to surprise her Groom with a life size version of their black lab, Brady. The mother and father of the bride were pleased, even when the balloon Groom dropped his hand and the balloon Brady. The Mother of the bride insisted we leave it like that as it was more like real life. She even pointed out a picture with the three of them in it to prove her point. You guessed it the future groom had his arm around the dog instead of his fiancee. The father of the bride pointed out that if we just got our Brady wet and put a water bowl in front of him he'd look just like the real Brady did the day before. We're just happy they like what job we did and wish them years of happiness together. They have a sense of humor so they're off to a good start.

Tulip Bouquet

When we get really busy at Balloon Creations & Gifts, LLC our families pitch in and lend a helping hand. Thanks to Michaela Strelow's very talented fingers we were able to finish up about 4 hours earlier on Friday. We also discovered a budding balloon artist in the family.
