Moviegoers, get your cameras ready—this dragon is ready for his close-up! To celebrate the release of the new How to Train Your Dragon movie, we brought Toothless to life—in balloons! He’s on display at @bbtheatres northland location. 

P.S. The Balloon Crew got a sneak peek of this movie and LOVED it. So good. You should go see it this weekend!

What a parrothead paradise! It was a delight ballooning up the brand new Margaritaville resort—filling their event space with tropical vibes and vacation-ready flair. This island oasis is about to be the place to celebrate!

Pride shines bright at our studio every day, but we loved creating this little moment to share with our neighborhood. This day-to-night glow was made with so much love—and every honk, cheer, and wave from folks driving by filled our hearts right up. Thank you for celebrating with us. 🌈💖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎈

When the coalition of Episcopal churches reached out about a Pride float, we knew it needed to be more than just festive—it needed to reflect who they are.

They asked for their iconic shield, reimagined to include everyone. We made it happen. Then we anchored it in a rainbow, leading to a pot of gold—tying in perfectly with their powerful message: “You are more precious than gold.”

Faith. Love. Inclusion. Pride. We’re honored to have helped bring their vision to life. 🌈💛⛪️

🏳️‍🌈Great Wolf Lodge rolled into Pride looking like a party— and honestly, we’re not sorry. 

💥Balloon overload? Check. Wolfpack vibes? Double check. Street legal? Debatable. Subtlety was not invited to this parade. 🐾✨

🌸🌿 A tropical daydream come to life — layers of lush greenery, a balloon color palette Lilly Pulitzer would swoon over, and a hand-sculpted flamingo standing proud. For KC icon @carolynlongkctv5’s retirement celebration, we created a little slice of paradise to match her legendary shine. 🦩✨🌺

A symbol of new beginnings, crafted in balloons. This Torii gate and fiery phoenix remind us that every celebration deserves a grand moment — bold, bright, and  ready to welcome your guests!

While others tried to spread hate using a Uhaul in our city this weekend, we’re using ours to spread joy. Filled to the brim with color, whimsy, and love, the way we believe it always should be.

Big waves, blue aliens, and balloon brilliance— @bbtheatres really said go big or go intergalactic. Surf on by Shawnee or Liberty this week to snap your tropical pic before Stitch bounces!

Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left out of a balloon photo op!

It’s a Work of Heart! We created these balloon pieces for our friends @stepsoffaithfoundation for their Game Nite with Will Forte—and wow, do they know how to mix fun with purpose!

Giving back is at the core of what we do, who we are. Each month, we donate balloon artistry to a local nonprofit as our way of lifting up the community that fills our hearts (and our calendars!). Grateful. 

We love you, KC—and we’re so proud to celebrate the joy you bring, the important work you do. 💙
