M&M Bowl


This is our creation for the M&M Bowl in Kona. The M&M Bowl is an annual football bowl game for the might mites in popwarner. The little football players, maybe future super bowl stars hehe, enjoyed running through our arch for a grand entrance to the field. This was such a fun project for us!! :)

Aloha Coast Realty


We are so excited, we recently got in some new equipment that will make it possible for us to do so much more with balloons, including signs and banners. As our very first trial run we decided to decorate our office building entrance for fun, and to surprise everyone there. The main company in our building is Aloha Coast Realty. So, we tried to write out "Aloha Coast" with balloons as well as make a palm tree to add a tropical effect. It was a bit tricky figuring out the lettering with balloons and how to hang it up early Saturday morning before anyone arrived at the building. It was an adventure, but it was fun. It was especially nice to here feedback from everyone with what they liked about it. I must say, it turned out pretty good for our very first trial run with this new equipment.

Habitat for Humanity


Just recently, a few weeks ago, we donated some balloon sculptures for the Habitat for Humanity. They were building 5 homes in 10 days for some very lucky families. At the end of there ten days they had a big celebration which was very touching. For this celebration we tried to rebuild the Habitat for Humanity logo out of balloons. This was our first time doing this type of sculpture and I must say we were very impressed with how it turned out. It was so much fun seeing everyone taking pictures with it, and enjoying it. We are so grateful that we were able to donate to such a wonderful cause. :)

Generation Mortgage Table Decorations

This past Friday there was a business fair for mortgage and real estate businesses, or any type of businesses that have something to do with that line of work. We were hired by a Generation Mortgage employee to decorate his table. He told us his color was purple and left the designing up to us, which we love because then it helps us push our creativity and show what more we can do other than the typical swirl arch we all know and love. This is the creation we came up with, and I must say it looked great. The color purple used was so vibrant, and matched perfectly. It attracted much attention from those around setting up. Later in the evening, when we returned to take down the balloons we were told that our customer won for best decorations!!!! We were stoked to hear that, and so excited to know we were part of him winning. It was exciting! We are grateful for this opportunity :) Remember, if you too would like something unique and different for your event or special occasion let us know, we would love to help. (808)935-1939

Aloha everyone! :) We are so excited to be a part of this community. We decided to start  a blog to keep our family, friends, customers, and just about anyone who is interested up to date with our latest creations. We just recently returned home to the island from Georgia being trained with up to date techniques for balloon decor and centerpieces. It was sooooo much fun and we came home rejuvenated and pumped to bring all these new techniques and ideas to our dear customers here in the Hawaiian Islands. We can't wait to show you all what we've learned and what we can do for your events. Working side by side with some of the most famously known balloon artists in the WORLD! These people are amazing, and sooooo very talented. They travel the world just doing balloon decor!!! You would be amazed on what you can create with balloons. And the best part of it all, is that we spent the time with all of you in mind, to bring it all back to Hawaii, so you too can experience all the wonderful decor you see on the web and movies but is not offered so openly in the islands, we can now offer you these options for outstanding balloon decorations! We met such nice people from all around the U.S. as well as international continents that have the same type of business and interests as us. It was quite an experience and we are so proud to be part of such a fun, happy, and incredible community of balloon businesses. We hope you enjoy this blog of all our creations, and we would love to do business for all of you! Our passion is to make your event special and "an event to remember" We promise we will try to keep up to date with this blog as often as we can. We are so excited to get started. Thank you for your time in reading this very long introduction, and we hope you visit back soon, and as often as you can. Let us be "your Aloha connection" Mahalo! :)
