Custom themed balloon installations in London, Ontario
Start with a reference photo, a mood board, or a colour you cannot find anywhere. Brenda designs the build from there.

Every install we build is made to order, so custom is the normal rather than the upgrade. This page is for the ones that start from a concept rather than a category. A quinceañera with a specific palette, a brand activation that has to match a colour code exactly, a kid's party built around one character, or an idea you have only ever seen in a photo.
What a custom themed build costs
Smaller themed setups start at $299. Full themed builds combining several elements, an arch with a wall and matching table pieces, run $599 to $1,500. Large multi-element concepts for quinceañeras, galas, and brand activations go beyond that depending on scale and how many separate pieces the room needs.
Custom does not automatically mean more expensive. A themed build at the same size and colour count as a catalog build prices close to it. What raises the number is scale, the number of separate pieces, unusual colours that have to be sourced, and anything that needs a frame or a structure built to hold it.
How the design actually works
Send whatever you have. A Pinterest board, a screenshot, a photo of your invitations, a fabric swatch, or just a description of the feeling you are going for. Brenda works from that to a proposed build, comes back with what is possible in your space and budget, and adjusts before anything is committed. If your reference photo is a setup that would not work in your venue, she will say so and offer the version that does rather than building something that fails on the day.
Colour matching is the request we get most. If you have a brand hex code, a bridesmaid dress swatch, or a specific shade in mind, we match to it rather than picking the nearest standard colour. Some shades are not manufactured in latex at all, and in those cases we will tell you honestly what the closest achievable match looks like before you book.
Quinceañera balloon decorations
Quinceañeras are some of the largest builds we do, and they are usually several pieces working together rather than one: quince balloon decorations for the church entrance, an arch or backdrop behind the head table, garlands on the stair rail for photos, ceiling work over the dance floor, and table pieces in the exact palette of the dress. Royal blue, lilac, lavender, gold, and blush are the colour families we get asked for most, and we match to a swatch of the dress rather than guessing from a name. Brenda speaks Spanish, so planning can happen in whichever language the family is more comfortable in, including with the madrina handling the decor. Send the venue, the colour, and the date and we will quote the full set within 24 hours.
Give it more lead time
Custom concepts need longer than catalog builds. Four to six weeks is comfortable, and specialty colours or anything needing a built structure benefit from more. Shorter timelines are often still possible for smaller themed setups, so ask rather than assuming. Timelines and rush bookings are covered in the FAQ.
For brand activations and corporate concepts specifically, see corporate packages. Individual elements are covered on arches, garlands, and walls and backdrops.

Custom build questions
-
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend events like weddings, baby showers, and milestone birthdays in London Ontario, we recommend booking 4 to 6 weeks out. Wedding season (May through September) and graduation season (May through June) fill fastest, and our custom build slots go early in those months. That said, we do take shorter-notice bookings if the calendar has space. Two weeks out is usually fine for smaller setups like birthday arches or table centerpieces. One week out is possible for a rush fee. If your event is tomorrow and you are reading this, message us anyway. We have pulled off same-day setups before for the right install size. The earlier you book, the more time Brenda has to design something that fits your specific colors, theme, and space rather than working from a standard template.
-
Do you do same-day or rush bookings?
We do take rush bookings when the schedule allows. Events booked less than 14 days out carry a 25% rush fee, and events booked less than 7 days out carry a 50% rush fee. This covers the cost of sourcing materials on short notice and rearranging the production calendar. Same-day is case by case depending on what is already in production and what size of balloon installation you need. A small birthday arch or a cluster of balloons for a surprise party is more likely to work same-day than a full wedding garland or ceiling install. If you are in a time crunch, message us immediately with your event details, balloon arch style, and preferred colors, and we will tell you within the hour whether we can make it happen. We do not keep you waiting on a same-day inquiry.
-
Can you match specific colors or themes?
Yes, custom colors and themes are the foundation of how we work, not a special request. Brenda builds every installation to order, which means we can match a specific Pantone swatch, a venue's color scheme, a party's theme, or a brand's palette. For weddings and bridal showers, we regularly work from mood boards and Instagram saves. For corporate events in London, we can match branded colors for grand openings, product launches, and holiday parties. We do not use a catalog of pre-made arches. Every build is started fresh based on your event specs. If you have a photo of what you are picturing, or a color you want to match, send it over when you message us for a quote. The more specific the reference, the closer we get to exactly what you had in mind.
-
Do you offer rentals or is everything custom-built?
Everything we make is custom-built for your event. Balloon installations are not rental items, they are assembled fresh for each booking using new materials matched to your colors, theme, and space. There is no standard inventory you are pulling from. Brenda designs and builds every arch, wall, column, and centerpiece specifically for the event it is going to. This means your balloon decor in London will not look like what showed up at someone else's event last weekend. It is built for your date, your venue, and your color palette. Because each build is custom, pricing is based on size, complexity, and material cost rather than a flat rental fee. For ongoing corporate accounts that want recurring setups, we can build a standing arrangement to keep costs predictable. Message us with your event details and we will quote it accurately the first time.
