Southern California's Must See Event Decorator

If you’ve ever planned a party, wedding, or milestone celebration, you know that decor is what transforms a gathering into an experience. And here in Southern California, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to talented event decorators.

So today, I’m taking you on a little decor road trip through Riverside, San Diego, Orange County, and the Inland Empire—meeting the creative minds who can turn any blank space into a scene straight out of your dreams.

@bouncyballoon 🎈 – Joy in Every Arch

Our first stop is @bouncyballoon, a balloon decor artist who makes color come alive. From playful pastel garlands for baby showers to dramatic balloon walls for corporate events, every design feels like it belongs on the cover of a party magazine.

She told me, “Playing with colors and volume, and seeing kids’ eyes light up—that’s what motivates me every day.”

Her style is versatile: whimsical for children’s parties, sophisticated for weddings, bold for brand launches. And she’s not afraid to experiment with shapes, mixing classic round balloons with organic clusters and oversize statement pieces.

What I love most? @bouncyballoon is on the Instaparty app, which means you can see her portfolio, chat about your ideas, and get a tailored quote—all in one place. Prices depend on the vision you have in mind, but the magic? That’s guaranteed.

@laurel_woods 🌿 – Nature Meets Boho Chic

Next, we head into the world of @laurel_woods, where macramé arches, rustic wooden tables, and wildflower arrangements create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and unforgettable.

“Every event deserves an ambiance that tells a story,” she explained as she styled an arch with eucalyptus and lace. Her boho-meets-rustic approach is perfect for backyard weddings, bridal showers, or even cozy corporate retreats.

She draws inspiration from Southern California’s landscapes, using textures like wood, linen, and greenery to create immersive, photogenic setups. And because @laurel_woods is on Instaparty, you can explore her portfolio and start planning your custom design directly through the app.
