Personalised bubble balloons
Hand written with a name, a date or a message, and often set into fresh flowers. The thing the shop is asked for most.
The other half of the business
The Balloon Shop, Kempston
The retail side. Helium balloons, birthday balloons, numbers, bouquets and personalised bubble balloons, made up in the shop and ready to collect on the day.
Two businesses, one owner
Event Artistry goes out to your venue and builds the installation. The Balloon Shop stays in Kempston and makes up the balloons you come and collect. Same hands, two different jobs, and two different phone numbers so you always get the right one.
If you are not sure which one you need, call either. A bunch of helium balloons for a birthday morning is the shop. A garland going up in a function room is events.

Over the counter
What we make up in the shop
Number and letter balloons
Any age, any colour. Inflated on the day so they are at their best when you collect them.
New baby and congratulations
New baby, christening, engagement, new home, exam results. Made up as a bouquet or a single statement balloon.
Character and themed
Stitch, Toy Story, Minions, Octonauts, football. Tell us what they are into and we will build around it.
Room and doorway displays
A run of letters across a bedroom wall or a cluster over a doorway. A twenty minute job that still makes the morning.
Helium bouquets
Mixed latex, foil and chrome tied and weighted, ready to carry out. Colours matched to whatever you bring us.
01
The bubble balloons people photograph
A clear bubble, hand written on the day, sometimes with flowers or a smaller cluster set inside it. It is the piece that ends up in the photograph and on the mantelpiece afterwards.
Names, dates, a line from a card, a message in another language. Bring us the wording exactly as you want it, because it is written by hand and it is not coming off afterwards.
02
Ready when you get here
Anything made up needs notice. Foil numbers and letters are inflated on the day so they are tight and shiny when you collect rather than soft by the afternoon, and hand written bubbles need time to be written properly.
Ring the shop before you set off if you want to check an order is ready, or if you are hoping for something the same day.

Questions
Asked often
Do I need to order in advance?
For anything made up, yes, give us as much notice as you can. Personalised bubble balloons are hand written, and number and letter balloons need inflating on the day so they are at their best when you collect.
Can I have a name or a message on a balloon?
Yes. Personalised bubble balloons are hand written with a name, a date or a short message. It is one of the things the shop is asked for most.
Where is the shop?
210 Bedford Rd, Kempston, Bedford MK42 8HP. Call the shop line on 07799 021533 before you set off if you want to check something is ready.
Is the shop the same as Event Artistry?
Same owner, two businesses. Event Artistry builds installations at your venue. The Balloon Shop is the retail side in Kempston for balloons you collect. The two have separate phone numbers.
Do you deliver balloons?
Get in touch with your postcode and what you need and we will tell you what is possible for your date.
Need the room done, not just the balloons?
That is the other side of the business. Garlands, backdrops, light up numbers and full venue styling, built on site.
Ready when you are
Tell us the date and the room
A photograph of the space and a rough idea of the colours is plenty to start. We will come back with what will work in it.
