Local Business Spotlight: Balloons by the Rankins

Updated: Mar 23


At Colwell Creative Content, Inc., we love shining the spotlight on local businesses. If you’re looking for a party planner, event planner, or just a simple balloon arch for your next bash, we highly recommend Balloons by the Rankins!


Our CEO, Nicole, recently hired them for her daughter’s bridal shower, and the results were nothing short of spectacular! Here’s their story and why you should keep them in mind for all your party and event planning needs.


Meet Alyssa Rankin



Alyssa Rankin, the owner of Balloons by the Rankins, started a career in medicine when she was 17 years old. She began working with people with disabilities, and she fell in love with her work. She enjoyed knowing she was helping make others’ lives a little easier.


Now, 17 years later, she is married with three children. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Care Management, and she still loves her work. But she couldn’t deny how much she enjoyed creating the perfect party atmosphere for her friends’ parties either.


Balloons by the Rankins is Founded


Alyssa has spent many years decorating and creating balloon arches for events. Many of her family members and friends would tell her, “Girl, this is beautiful! You can earn a whole living doing this!” and “Why aren’t you doing this for real?”


Up until just a short time ago, Alyssa’s decorating and party planning were just hobbies. But with encouragement from so many people in her life, Alyssa decided to turn her hobbies into an actual business.


Parties & Events


Today, Alyssa has helped facilitate many events, including:

  • Baby showers

  • Bridal showers

  • Birthday parties

  • Diaper parties

  • Customer appreciation events

  • Football and other sports parties and events

  • ...and so much more!

Alyssa is incredibly detail-oriented. This was Nicole’s experience when she hired her:


“I came to Alyssa because I am not a party planner by any means. With my only daughter’s bridal shower date quickly approaching, I needed help to make it happen. I gave Alyssa a theme and some colors. And then I told her what my budget was. She assured me that every detail was under control, and she quickly put together a plan that included centerpieces, tableware, a custom-designed balloon arch, and about a million little things that really tied the whole party together.”


We are so excited to watch how Balloons by the Rankins grows in the months and years ahead. Here’s what Alyssa has to say about what she does:


“I love to bring my customers’ visions to life by creatively designing customized balloon arches to fit any theme, event, or party. Every detail matters! It’s all the details coming together that make these special milestones in people’s lives that much more special. I have found that I have a true passion for creating these moments, and I can’t wait to see what event I am able to create next!”
