In 1998 we started to sell helium filled balloons in the shop and by 2000 had progressed to providing simple balloon decorations for parties and weddings. Although small scale at first this business has now grown considerably in size and now embraces all aspects of balloon decorating. In 2003 we officially launched Beautiful Balloons to formally identify this side of the business. We embrace all aspects of work with balloons from the customer who requires a single foil balloon to full scale decoration for corporate events, weddings and themed parties,to balloon releases for charity and PR events, to providing packages for those who wish to opt for the diy solution. All the staff are trained in the basic elements of balloon work but Beverley Hodgkiss and myself Chris Knott have the specialist knowledge to advise on bigger functions and events. We cover a large part of the West Midlands, Worcestershire, Shropshire and South Staffordshire including: Kingswinford, Stourbridge, Halesowen, Cradley Heath, Lye, Brierley Hill, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Redditch, Oldbury, West Bromwich, Dudley, Wolverhampton, Bridgnorth & Wombourne.
ARE A BIG PART OF OUR BUSINESS AND WE ARE WELL KNOWN FOR CREATING SOMETHING THAT LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TO MEET THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF THE BRIDE AND GROOM OR TO SUIT A PARTICULAR VENUE OR COLOUR SCHEME. WE ARE ALSO HAPPY OF COURSE TO CATER FOR THOSE WITH SIMPLER REQUIREMENTS YET REQUIRE RELIABILITY AND QUALITY ON THEIR SPECIAL DAY.
THIS WEDDING AT THE PARK HALL HOTEL IN WOLVERHAMPTON IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A WEDDING WITH A 'WOW' FACTOR WHICH STARTED WITH THE COLOUR SCHEME - HOT PINK, SILVER AND WHITE.
THE TOP TABLE WAS TRIMMED WITH SWAGS AND BOWS AND BABY BALLOONS AND SIMPLE FLOORSTANDING CLUSTERS STOOD BEHIND THE TOP TABLE. THESE WERE CHOSEN FOR THEIR COLOUR IMPACT AND BECAUSE THEY CAN BE EASILY MOVED WHEN THE TOP TABLE IS REMOVED.
THE CAKE TABLE HAD SIMILAR TRIMMINGS WITH THE ADDITION OF THE 'QUIRKEY' BRIDE AND GROOM WHICH HELP TO CREATE A LESS FORMAL ATMOSPHERE AND PROVIDE A REAL TALKING POINT WHETHER THEY ARE YOUR CUP OF TEA OR NOT!
THE GUEST TABLES WERE DECORATED WITH FABULOUS 'DOUBLE BUBBLES' ON A CENTREPIECE SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO CO-ORDINATE AND BALANCE THE FLOATING BALLOONS CREATING A ROMANTIC WEDDING FEEL.
BLACK AND WHITE WEDDINGS ARE CURRENTLY VERY FASHIONABLE . THESE PHOTOS SHOW JUST HOW DRAMATIC THIS CAN BE FOR A WEDDING AND SHOW SOME OF OUR MORE INTERESTING DECOR.
A BEAUTIFUL TOP TABLE CANOPY CREATED IN WHITE WAS TRIMMED WITH BLACK AND A TOUCH OF HOT PINK AS AN ACCENT COLOUR WITH A GIANT BUBBLE EFFECT TO MAKE A BIG IMPACT.
THIS TABLE TOPIARY IS VERY STYLISH IN BLACK AND WHITE BUT CAN BE CREATED IN MANY COLOUR SCHEMES.
THIS CLUSTER OF SEVEN BALLOONS IN BLACK, SILVER AND WHITE WITH A GLITTERY ROSE DESIGN IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING IN A ROOM WITH A HIGH CEILING.
FOR A MUCH SIMPLER EFFECT CHECK OUT THIS WEDDING AT THE GRANARY HOTEL, NEAR KIDDERMINSTER. THE COLOUR SCHEME IS QUITE UNUSUAL AND MAKES THE VERY SIMPLE DECORATION MUCH MORE INTERESTING.
IN THIS INSTANCE WE ALSO PUT SWAGS AND BOWS TO MATCH ON THE TOP TABLE WHICH BREAKS UP THE VERY WHITE TABLE FRONT.
THIS BEAUTIFUL WEDDING TOOK PLACE AT THE NEW HALL HOTEL IN SUTTON COLDFIELD, THE OLDEST INHABITED MOATED BUILDING IN THE COUNTRY WITH LINKS BACK TO KING HENRY VIII.
WE TRANSFORMED THE DANCE FLOOR WITH A CANOPY IN THE PINK AND WHITE BRIDAL COLOURS AND PROVIDED LOVELY DREAMY TABLE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE GUESTS.
THIS TABLE ARRANGEMENTS WAS MADE MORE SPECIAL BECAUSE WE USED A FOIL STAR FOR THE CENTREPIECE TO COMPLETE THE THEME.
THE CAKE BECAME A FOCAL POINT FOR PHOTOGRAPHS AS IT WAS FRAMED WITH A GIANT STAR.

Simple but classic yet pretty decoration for a wedding at Himley Country Hotel, near Dudley. As well as the balloons the decor was finished off with swags and bows on the top table and cake table.
This bride had a very strong colour theme, bright red and white which is not easy to transfer to balloon decoration in a tasteful way.
We separated the colours as much as possible to try and diminish the effect of the strong contrast. The table arrangements on the following photos worked very well.
An unusual colour scheme including pistachio green and a triple arch to fill a large plain wall space.
