And let's not forget, we love delivering balloons to BYU for homecoming events, sports galas, and of course-- graduation!
In 2023, from Payson to Provo to Salt Lake City, we transformed ordinary balloons into extraordinary sculptures -- pushing the boundaries of creativity. Our custom balloons brought vibrant colors to corporate event decor, turning spaces into whimsical wonders. Getting to use our imagination like this really is the best part of what we do!
This "candyland" of balloons was the perfect setting for this Willy Wonka themed Christmas party. From giant balloon trees, balloon lollipops, and everlasting gobstoppers, these balloon sculptures made this event so sweet!

Celebrating Graduates across the state allowed us to create giant letter sculptures! This WSB sculpture proudly stood at the graduation celebration of students from the Woodbury School of Business from Utah Valley University.
The ever famous "Block U" made from balloons for the University of Utah graduate made for an epic photo op.

PEEP the cute spring decor at University Place for Easter! Giant balloon carrots with beautiful spring flower balloons were the perfect backdrop for meeting the Easter bunny. Kids afraid of the Easter bunny? No problem. They can take a picture next to this 8 foot tall balloon bunny Peep!

As we float into a new year, let's carry the spirit of innovation and the joy of custom balloons with us. Here's to another year of sculpting dreams and turning the ordinary into the extraordinary!

]]>Hard to believe it, but it’s true. It’s a special time to commemorate the achievements, the accomplishments and the hardships because you know what... WE DID IT! We have made it through the madness, the stress and the struggle. You are something worth celebrating! Your loved ones, your employees, your tribe, your crew, your team--they are worth celebrating!
Balloon drops are that symbolic pat on the back, the high five, the hug. Balloon drops are for all of those heart pounding moments of anticipation--the championship game, the new product launch, the wedding reception that finally got to happen after postponing through a pandemic, and the celebration of another year coming to a close. They’re here for you in those milestones of life. Balloon drops are here because life is worth celebrating. From dances, weddings and proposals, to business openings, birthday parties and rebranding events, Utah Balloon Creations wants to celebrate with you.
Utah Balloon Creations is one of the only companies in Utah that has years of training, proper equipment and has successfully executed balloon drops of all sizes across the state. We know that you're not hosting a cookie cutter event which is why we create a custom balloon drop net to fit exactly what you need for your space and your event!
Just like the majority of the products we offer, our balloon drops are custom to you and your event; your color scheme, your net size, even the size and shape of your balloons--you get to decide! To give you the best experience possible, we offer on-site consultations of your event space to be able to take measurements and plan how to best rig your balloon drop from the ceiling. When you finalize the booking of your balloon drop with Utah Balloon Creations, your consultation fee will be waived as it's included in our custom package!
So what are you waiting for?
Not sure what kind of an event a balloon drop would be used for? Any and all. Here’s a short list to name a few:

As the new year come we are very grateful for all our great customers at Utah Balloon Creations. You guys make it possible for us to have the success we do! We wanted to take a minute and highlight some events we did this year for one of our clients. We did not want to create a new post for every event we did for them, so we have taken all the arches, columns and balloons we have done for them over the year in this post!
The first event we ever did for Dillard's was when they had their grand opening for their new building at the Fashion Place Mall. This balloon arch was a 20 foot spiral balloon arch. We had 3 colors, silver, gold and double black. We really loved being a part of their grand opening and had no idea it would be the beginning of a great business relationship!
One of the next events we did was for a sale and promotion they had for homecoming dresses! This 10 foot spiral balloon arch greeted those that came to get their homecoming dresses! It was a great way to welcome customers and make a great first impression with balloons!
Another fun event was the wedding special they had. We build a 13 foot spiral balloon arch to go over the display for the wedding event. The balloon arch did a great job at bringing extra attention to the display and make the display look that much better as well!
The next event we did was breast cancer awareness month. We did 2 - 10 foot balloon arches (one at each entrance) to welcome shoppers for their week long breast cancer awareness promotions!
This was definitely our favorite event. We built this 15 foot spiral balloon arch for their poker promotion! While this arch was only used for one day it made a great impression for those shoppers who came in to a DJ and endless promotions and giveaways!
The balloon arch from the wedding event did such a great job at helping their success that they did the same thing for the display for their swim suite event! I love the water colors and this 12 ft spiral balloon arch does a great job at helping the display stand out!
This was one of the larger balloon arches we did this year for Dillard's. This was a 25ft spiral balloon arch for the Estee Lauder makeup event they had. The best part of this arch was it lasted for over 7 days and the balloon arch looked just as good on day 7 as day 1!
Our final balloon arch was this 25ft spiral balloon arch for the Christmas special event! This balloon arch welcomed visitors as they came in the front door for 2 weeks while they had their Christmas specials! We really appreciate all we were able to do for Dillard's and look forward to many more events to come!

Every year over 4,000 babies are born in Utah alone. That is 4,000 baby announcements, gender reveal parties, newborn photos and 1st birthday cake smash. Utah is one of the nations top states and producing new babies…. Utahans have a special place in their heart for their new little one that is on its way. By now I am sure you have seen hundreds of Facebook posts of couples who are excited to announce they are expecting and each step along the way. There are many steps along the way that we like to document and share with our friends and family members. We have compiled a list of each of these steps, and some wonderful ideas on how to include balloons to make your next baby have the best red carpet into this world!
The first thing you do when you find out you are pregnant, is the announcement that you are pregnant. Facebook pages are swarming with posts each month of parents expecting a new baby. There are many great ways to tell everyone your expecting, but we have put a few of our favorites together. One of the most popular ways to announce your expected bay is to use balloon letters and numbers. You may have heard of these as Megaloons. Balloon letters and numbers come in many different colors and sizes and can be used in many different ways. One of our favorites uses of balloon letters and numbers is from a blogger called Jessica Roberts who has a blog called Raising Robberts where she recently announced baby number 7 using 16 inch foil numbers over each child (and the 7th being over her belly).
Coming in a close second position is the use of 34 inch Megalloon foil balloons. You can fill these large foil balloons up with helium and spell out almost any message…. As long as you have enough hands to hold them. Ashley from Mommy Status did a wonderful job of using these balloons when she announced to Instagram that she was expecting.
She used just 4 gold 34 inch foil letters that spelled out B-A-B-Y to announce that she was expecting. These large and beautiful balloons are so fun to use and can be used in so many different ways. Not to mention they make one great picture to share on social media for your baby announcement.
Eventually your baby will grow enough for you to find out the gender. One of the most popular uses of balloons with newborn babies is announcing the gender. Balloons are a great way to do this as they are one of the most colorful and fun options for revealing the gender of your baby. There are ways our customers generally reveal the gender of their baby with balloons. First is the balloon in a box. Here you have a box of balloons, when you open the box, the balloons come out of the box in full color of the gender of the baby. This is especially fun when the parents do not know what color is in the box. Lauren from Thinking Closet did just this when they revealed on Instagram with pink balloons the gender of their first child.
Another popular balloon for revealing the gender is the 3ft balloon pop. You have a large balloon filled with confetti, feathers or anything else you want to fly everywhere when the balloon is popped. The balloon is popped by the parents and the color of the gender pops everywhere with great effect!
There are so many great ways to use balloons with your newborn baby. And however you choose to do the announcement, be sure to check out one of our party packages to also decorate for the event. We provide the perfect balloon arches, balloon columns and much more for your newborn event. Make your baby memorable with balloons!
Each year there are hundreds of 5Ks, marathons, walkathons or races that people come to support a good cause! At Utah Balloon Creations we absolutely LOVE 5K season because not only do we love doing balloons, but we love when balloons go to a good cause! One of the hardest things to do is have a good starting/finish line. One of the funnest and best ways to do a starting or finish line is with a balloon arch! Balloon arches are amazing and help direct people to the right place to begin the race. We have done starting / finish line for small walks in the park, or large corporate marathons. One of the greatest things about our balloon arches is we LOVE to work for a good cause! If you are a non profit and your race is for a good cause, we offer a 20% discount on all our balloon starting / finish lines. Give us a call today if you have any questions on balloon starting and finish lines anywhere in Utah. Below are just a few recent races that we have done! Be sure to check out our Balloon Race gallery for additional information and more images!
The following are a few arches we have done for The Annual Transplant Superheroes 5K FUN Run/Walk we have had the privilege of being a part of for a few years in a row now!
]]>This week we were lucky to build a balloon arch with a slight twist. We always love when customers go outside the standard balloon arches and columns and do something creative with them. This was one such event! We were contacted to make a background arch for the awards podium for a Gymnastics & Cheer competition. While we were not able to get pictures of the balloon arch in action with winners, we are still excited to show off this arch!
The arch itself is a 12 x 10 balloon arch. Light blue balloons with added clusters to give the effect of snowflakes.
]]>This was an awesome event! We had a blast decorating for a 1st birthday. Here are some pictures of the event!
]]>We decorated for a little boy's "Toy Story" 3rd birthday! If there's one thing that we know about children is they always LOVE balloons!
We decided to start building lawn numbers, and this was the very first one that we ever built. We are excited to start offering new things for our customers!
Looking for a fun way to celebrate the next big occasion? Want something that everyone will be talking about? Looking for the perfect Instagrammable photo? These 5-7 foot yard numbers are the perfect statement piece!
