Basket of Flowers

This Basket of Flowers has been entered by Tina at the Spring Fling Art Show in Sidney, Ohio.  All the flowers are made out of uninflated latex balloons.  The basket has tulips, daffodils, and crocuses in it.

Happy Sweet 16

Approximately 500 balloons were use to create a fiesta style atmosphere for this birthday celebration. The colors chosen were those of a southwestern sunset. Matching the turquoise blue color to a balloon was simple, the balloons actually come in that color. Matching the amber color called for stuffing one color balloon inside another color balloon. So even if the balloons don't come in a color you've chosen, sometimes we can mix balloons and still get the result you want.

Mrs. Mouse Balloon Sculptures with a Candy Dish

This mouse balloon sculpture was delivered to a funeral home. The grandchildren sent it in memory of their beloved grandmother. Some people my think it unusual at first, but why? People often share fond memories of the departed when gathered for such an event. I know as people see this mouse they will be reminded of a story about that grandmother and will share it with others. Flowers are nice, but a dozen roses won't bring back many memories, unless of course the grandmother loved roses and they were a part of her life. I don't know why the grandmother loved a certain mouse, but I bet there are some fond memories involved. Wish I had thought to make a penguin balloon sculpture when my granny died, she had a thing for penguins.

Our condolences to the family and friends of the grandmother who passed. We hope this mouse added a few extra smiles and laughs mixed in with your grief and remembrances.

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.

Long Stem Roses

We have two different styles of long stem roses made from balloons. A seven petal long stem rose (pictured bottom right) and a twelve petal long stem rose (pictured top right). A client recently purchased a 12 petal long stem rose for his wife. We're told she put it in a vase on her desk and was repeated asked if it was one of those dipped roses. Tina Alt is the talented artist behind these beautiful flowers.

Trailer Before Picture

Not our usual post, but we thought we'd show you the before picture now. I wonder what balloon decorations we'll come up with to highlight our clowns, dancing chickens and gorillas? Thank you to J & K Landscaping Services from Sidney, Ohio who will be loaning us this trailer to use in the Liberty Days Parade in Ft. Loramie, Ohio. We won't have to do sprints throughout the parade this year. Come out July 4th to see us in the parade, and then meet us over in the Ft. Loramie Park where Ruffles and Giggles will be twisting balloon art.

Link O Loon Arch for Cake Table

You have to use your imagination and picture a wedding cake under this Link O Loon arch. I can almost see the wedding photo now of the bride and groom feeding each other a piece of cake.

Rainbow Arch & Star Columns

Two Star topped columns designate a dance floor for this wedding while a navy and silver rainbow arch highlights the head table. We brought in a young helper and used more than 300 balloons for the first wedding on Saturday, June 13, 2009. Our young helper, who actually had to get up before 6 a m during summer vacation, said afterward, "Mom, I knew you and Tina worked hard, but I didn't know it was that much work to make balloon art." We gave her a break and she didn't have to go back at 11 p m to help tear it all down.
