balloon disclaimer
All of the balloons that I use are high quality & biodegradable! However, due to the natural of balloons, some may deflate occasionally on their own.
For outdoor balloon installations, I cannot fully guarantee that all balloons will remain intact and in perfect condition. Occasionally, balloons may deflate if it’s hot out. Balloons may be adversely affected by wind, rain, severe weather, or other factors out of my control. Balloons may oxidize (loose their shine) in direct sunlight.
Kids & Pets Cautions
Uninflated or burst balloons can be a choking hazard and should never be left with children without supervision. Keep balloons away from pets so that they don’t get tangled with balloon ribbons or accidentally ingest popped balloons or their decorative contents like confetti.
Helium Balloons
Helium is not toxic or flammable. However inhaling helium by mouth can result in loss of consciousness due to insufficient oxygen.
Disposal of balloons
I do not offer take down services for balloons. To dispose of them yourself, cut a small slit near the stem of the balloon using scissors.
Setup & Take Down
For Event Styling: I need at least 4 hours prior to the event to set up and decorate. Also, I will need 1-2 hours after the event to take it down.
For Balloon Styling: I will need at least 1-2 hours before the event to install the balloon garland. I do not offer take down services.
