The face behind Once in a Bal-loon

Hi, I’m Elysia

What started with a love of creating beautiful balloon displays has grown into a business styling celebrations and events across Berkshire, London and surrounding areas.

I became a Certified Balloon Artist in 2023, and today my work ranges from milestone birthdays, weddings and baby showers to proms, corporate launches, awards evenings and large-scale venue installations.

I love taking an idea, colour palette or piece of inspiration and turning it into something designed specifically for the occasion and the space. No two events are exactly the same, which is why my work is bespoke rather than based around fixed packages.

Once in a Bal-loon is a small independent business, so from the initial enquiry and design through to preparation and installation, customers deal directly with me.
