Introducing the author

My name is Trevor Gardner, i've been selling balloons since 1990. I decided to specialise in balloons quite recently as my shop selling greeting cards, party goods and balloons was becoming more and more popular for the balloons.
I have always loved playing with balloons, (who hasn't), but my main passion was balloon decorating for weddings, corporate events and parties, the more elaborate the better.
July 2015 i decided to take the plunge and move full time into balloons, i got rid of the shop (taking up too much of my time) and now work from home, which gives me the freedom to get out and meet my customers and come up with new designs. The web site allows my customers to see what i do and get in touch with me, and this blog keeps everyone up to date with whats going on in the world of balloons.
I will be posting interesting facts both historical and up to date, as well as news on what i'm doing, and also links to other balloon specialists.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings, if you have any ideas for subject matter please drop me a line or give me a call, allmy details are on the contact page.
Incidentally the picture above is a recent flower fairy arch i made for a young girls party.

This was an 18th birthday celebration for a very lucky someone on Saturday 21st January 2017, a celebration meal in the Consort room at The Grand Brighton, followed by the rest of the evening celebrating in the Arnold Room.
We supplied 140 gold and white balloons for the ceiling and bouquets of 5 balloons in the same colours to go around the room. Very classy colours for a very classy venue.

The event was on the 19th January at the Grand Brighton, the theme was casino.
The arch was on the stage and the below columns were at the entrance to the hall from the drinks room.

This Pearl Citrine Yellow and Pearl Emerald Green air filled quad arch was constructed for Subway, Boundary Road, Portslade and had to be in place by 9.00am.

As these arches have to be assembled on site we had to inflate the bulk of the balloons the night before and bring them with us already inflated, takes up a bit of space.

It only took 30 minutes to construct the arch once on site, it took considerably longer to blow up all the balloons.

The arch has 172 11" latex balloons inflated to 8" each.

Firstly a quick note about our opening times over this period.
The office will be closed from 2.00 pm on Friday 23rd December 2016 until 9.00 am on Tuesday 3rd January 2017.
We will not be able to take orders during this time, any orders already placed will still be delivered as requested.

If you require any balloons over the holiday period please get your orders in ASAP. We are always busy at this time of year and stocks run down quickly, most of our wholesalers close down completely over this time so replacing stock is not always easy.

Lastly, have a really great Christmas and new year what ever you are doing, and remember Balloons can make any event better.

A great colour choice of Purple and ivory in this display, always a winner.
The single strand helium arch over the buffet table is simple yet elegant.
The bouquets also incorporate a lilac latex balloon to seamless match the flowers and other decorations.

This column has a light in the top balloon, not suitable for all occasions because you need to run a mains cable to the base of the column, but a great effect if you have the right spot, against a wall with access to a socket would be great, how about several down each side of the venue.
Even without lights columns are great, very versatile in colours shapes and sizes, take a look at the range available
the link will take you to our other web site, but will open in a new window so you wont loose your place.
