Sorry I haven’t posted for a long time. Just want to keep you updated with everything that is going on here at Balloon Notes. During the pandemic in March 2020 we decided to become homebase and do everything from home. It was a hard time, many businesses did not survive, but thank God that we came home, because I feel it was the best thing we ever did. During this time I fell down and broke my knee cap and had to have surgery. I was laid up for quite a while. Thank goodness our grandaughter was able to help. A year an a half later I fell again and broke my femer and really could not do too much. Here we are in 2024 and Ashley has pretty much taken over, my husband and I have retired. Oh I still make a few small balloon bouquets for delivery now and then. Ashley has been doing a great job with all the flowers and the decorating, she brought in a lot of new ideas and different styles. I believe she will take it to the next level, oh, mind you she has 3 little girls too!!!!!
Dedicated to protect our environment!
We will no longer sell balloon releases or balloon rosaries. Not only is it against City Ordinance but we do not want to be responsible for the balloons ending up in our Gulf Waters or harming any sea life. Our pollution is extremely out of control and we do not want to add to it. We try to weigh all helium balloons both latex and foil, please do not release them into the outdoors, and pop them and dispose of them properly. Even though latex balloons are biodigradable we want to do everything we can to keep our land clean.
Balloons Blow Don't Let Go!
Even though balloons are made of natural latex and take the same amount of time to go back into the earth as an oak leaf, we in the balloon industry are dedicated to protecting the environment. Most of our arrangements are air-filled and don’t float. Please when the balloons deflate disposed of them properly.

If you do not know already we don't have a storefront anymore. We discovered that we needed to be available for our customers. It is just my husband and I doing all the orders and the decorating, so if we don't answer our phones right away, it is because we are trying to finish a decorating job on time. As for our everyday bouquets, it should be noted that they take time to make, because we make them after they are ordered, and we take our time with them, so if you can please order them at least the day before.
Balloon are very delicate and picky
Like humans, balloons like to be comfortable, they do not like hot or cold conditions. They like to be indoors where it is cool. Our balloons are of the highest quality, when they are first blown up they are glossy finish or translucent, this is temporary, sometimes by the time they get delivered they become opaque or matte finish. This is the result of oxidation. This is normal, because latex is 100% biodegradable. On hot days, in direct sunlight, balloons may pop within an hour. So in outdoor decorating it is not possible for us to guarantee the balloons will not pop or last through the entire event. We do however use a larger and more stronger balloon which fairs the heat better. Although wind conditions here in South Texas is not very kind to any of balloon. So with that said, consider very carefully if you want balloons in your outdoor event.
