I always ask Simone (last minute) to create a balloon stack around the chosen theme and she always delivers at a speedy time. I don't show her a photo of what I want, it's like she just knows what looks amazing.

The maker

Hi, I'm Sim

I'm Simone (most people call me Sim), a Harpenden mum of four. Going out to work for someone else was never going to fit around four children, so I decided to build something of my own, doing what I love: making children smile. That's honestly how it all began, balloons in exchange for smiles.

There's a moment I never get tired of: the excitement just before a big day, whether it's a first birthday or a wedding. Getting to be a small part of that is the best job I could ask for.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I only make balloons I'd be happy to receive myself. They're high quality and made to last, and everything is handmade right here in Harpenden.

Love, Sim

Frequently asked questions

The quick answers, and I'm always a WhatsApp away for anything else.

Do you deliver?

Yes, I deliver around Harpenden and the surrounding areas, often the evening before your event. Delivery is worked out from your postcode (a small charge based on distance), and it's free on orders over £50 within my local area. You're always welcome to collect too.

How much notice do you need?

The more notice the better, as it means I can order in stock and get exactly what you're after. I can often help with last-minute requests too, but colours and options may be a little more limited depending on what I have in.

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum at all. Whether it's one special balloon or a full arch, I'm happy to help.

Can you match my colours or theme?

Absolutely. I'm very flexible on colours, and if you're not sure what will work, just ask. I love helping people pick something they'll be thrilled with.

Do you set everything up, or do I collect?

For balloon arches, towers, garlands and backdrop boards, I come and set it all up for you so it looks perfect. Smaller pieces like stacks, bubbles and bunches can be delivered locally or collected, whichever suits you.

What do you make most?

Number and age stacks are hugely popular, personalised bubble balloons are a lovely gift, helium bunches brighten up a room, and balloon towers, arches and garlands are lovely for bigger celebrations and events.

How do I pay?

Cash or bank transfer, on or after delivery. Nice and simple.

Where I deliver

Harpenden, St Albans, Redbourn, Wheathampstead, Luton, Hemel Hempstead, Welwyn Garden City, Kimpton, Markyate and Sandridge. Delivery is worked out from your postcode and is free on local orders over £50. Collection from Harpenden is always welcome.

Looking after them

Balloon care

A few little tips to keep your balloons looking their best for the big day.

Floating balloons

Your helium latex balloons float beautifully for around 3 days. I treat them with Hi-Float so they last as long as they possibly can, and foil numbers and bubbles will happily float for a week or more.

Stacks, arches, garlands & boards

These are air-filled, so they don't float, and that means they last much longer. You can expect them to look lovely for a week or two, often longer.

Keep them cool and indoors

Heat and direct sunlight are a balloon's enemy, and they'll expand in a hot car or conservatory. Keep them somewhere cool, out of the sun, and away from anything sharp.

Delivered the night before?

Pop them inside, unpack them to check they've travelled well, and keep them at room temperature until you need them. They'll be ready and waiting for the celebration.
