Welcome to

Heather B Studios and Balloon Emporium

Visit our shop & studio in Horwich. Downstairs we have a shop bursting with gorgeous colourful balloons in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Laura our balloonist will talk you through options to suit all budgets and ideas. We deliver and install for you. We also sell candles, banners, and bunting for that special occasion.

Upstairs the Heather B Studio is packed with exciting props and backgrounds ready for your photo session. You can discuss your session with Heather and choose if you’d prefer to have outdoor shoot in the Smithills area. We have photography sessions and balloon gifts that suit everyone.

Or perhaps you would like to plan a cake smash with us. Plan the whole thing in a few minutes, we have our lovely mandy on the team who will make your cake to suit your needs and it will taste and look amazing. The balloons are yours to take home and the cake is usually only used from one side and will be boxed for you to enjoy at home.
