We are an award-winning sculptured balloon design studio specializing in custom installations that add eye-catching flair and stylish fun to any event or occasion.
At Whimsy we listen close and partner with our clients for multiple outcomes: to bring fanciful and fantastic ideas & imagination to life, to increase attendance, and to satisfy beyond expectations.
Here, the Lake Forest High School Foundation Board wanted something stylish and interactive for their annual luncheon & fund raiser. A gumball wall backdrop with a balloon POP tower was perfect. No throwing darts, simply use a poker to pop the polka dotted balloon of your choice to reveal the prize inside!
From Fortune 500 companies and non-profits to banquets and backyard bbq’s, we add distinctive vibrance to everything we do.

ABOUT US
Whimsy is Holly Nagel’s balloon design studio. Back in 1997 her business was called Twist n Shout and it grew with the singular thought that giving balloons and receiving them is a delight. Just watch anyone around balloons – there are smiles, laughter and engagement. Balloons and #funballoonart, whether it’s the classic one-balloon weenie dog or a complex T-Rex, is joy! Balloons can set a mood like elegance, or whimsy (yes! a word that Holly loves :), providing ambiance for all kinds of celebrations. Plus, balloons are a great way to energize a crowd for any party, festival or sales event. So, remember to bring balloons and #bringkindnessandjoy !
All materials used are biodegradable or recyclable, which means helium is not used as it is not a renewable resource. There are so many other ways to fill space with decor!
Over the years her business grew and has evolved to include various entertainment & educational programs for Early Elementary through Adult and you can find more info on this at her other site, www.hollynagel.com.
Her resume is on her Linkedin profile and includes her professional, educational and volunteer background.
