Today is the official launch of @balonevi_official , and I am so excited to finally share this with you! Last week, I received a very exciting package from @coolpartyballoons with an invitation to be part of something new…!helping introduce Balonevi to the U.S. balloon community. I was so honored to be included alongside a group of incredibly talented balloon artists and decorators from across the country. 🤍

We were given the creative freedom to take these balloons and create something that felt like us. There was no assigned design, no rules, just an opportunity to play, experiment and create. So I took this as a sign to collab with my girly, @busyhousebounce and use one of my favorite backdrops! We brought in a white bounce house, added handmade paper chains and hand-cut fringe, and used the Balonevi balloons to bring the whole thing to life.

Welcome to the U.S., Balonevi! We’re so happy to be part of your first impression. 🤍

A weekend made for the bride-to-be 🤍 from the lace + appliqué bride sash to the custom tees (drawn by the bride(@artbyfemma) printed by me), embroidered totes, bucket hats, her swimsuit, lounge set, balloons, and all the tiny touches in between. The best part of creating for your people is getting to turn their ideas, personality, and little details into something they’ll remember forever. Love you, em!!!

Dear diary… I got to make matching tanks for a Hilary Duff bachelorette… and honestly, my inner 2000s girl is still freaking out. 🦋 A Hilary Duff concert, your favorite girls, a bachelorette weekend, and matching tanks? That’s literally what dreams are made of. 🎤 I had so much fun bringing these to life for this crew. Hope you girls sang every word, laughed until your cheeks hurt, and made the kind of memories your inner Lizzie McGuire will never forget. 🤍
