Welcome guests to your new location with an entrance arch, ribbon-cutting backdrop or announcement display in your brand colors. Wilhelmina designs, delivers and installs balloon décor for business openings, relocations and rebrands across the Milwaukee area.

The doorway guests use and the spot where your team gathers for photographs may need different arrangements. An entrance arch can mark the celebration, while a separate garland frames the ribbon cutting. We help you decide what belongs where before settling on the design. Our team works with businesses in Milwaukee, Mequon, Grafton, Port Washington, Wauwatosa, Glendale, West Bend, Sheboygan and nearby communities.
The first scheduled activity: Tell us when photography, guest arrival and the ceremony begin. If team photos happen before the ribbon cutting, installation needs to fit that earlier deadline.
These projects from Milwaukee and nearby communities show our balloon work at business openings and announcement events. Look at the relationship between each display, the doorway and the business sign to find ideas that suit your own location.
Send your event date, ceremony time, address and a photo of the entrance or event space. For LED lettering, include the exact name or announcement you want displayed. Please also share your brand palette and confirm whether you need an indoor or outdoor installation.
Mark your preferred ribbon-cutting spot in the photo so we can recommend a suitable arrangement and prepare your estimate.
Yes. We assess the installation spot, the surface beneath the display and the wind, sun or rain it may encounter. Depending on the setting and expected conditions, we may discuss a sheltered position or an indoor alternative.
Balloon type and surroundings both affect longevity. Indoors, balloons protected from heat, direct sunlight and sharp objects may last up to a month, although their appearance can change over time. Outdoor exposure can shorten that period.
Standard 11-inch helium balloons typically float for one to two days; jumbo helium balloons generally float for two to three days. Let us know if you want the balloons to remain on display beyond opening day. Conditions after delivery affect balloon longevity, so we cannot promise a fixed lifespan.
We serve Ozaukee, Milwaukee, Washington and Sheboygan counties, with travel beyond these areas available by arrangement. Delivery charges vary by installation and start at $20.
Complete the estimate form with your date, location and display ideas. We’ll reply within 24–48 hours to check availability and discuss the details, then prepare a formal estimate.
Your invoice arrives by email once you approve the quoted work and agree to our Terms & Conditions. Payment is accepted by major credit or debit cards.

Please be aware that photos from inspiration sites such as Pinterest and Etsy can have heavily edited photos and or custom made colors. If you are looking for an exact color shade, we would be happy to help with a custom color blend.
