Local Artist Designs A World Of Balloons

You’re probably familiar with the shiny “Get Well” and “Congratulations” balloons you find floating at the grocery or dollar store. There is however a higher world of balloons that supplies everything from ballroom displays and corporate events to bar mitzvahs and graduations.

In this Atlanta Sound, we meet certified balloon artist Gayle Rubenstein.

Rubenstein, along with her husband, have been in the balloon industry for more than 25 years. Her company, Balloons and Events Over Atlanta, frequently deals in displays and events that require thousands of balloons. And despite the great technological advances of our time, those balloons are still blown up and tied off by hand.

We joined her one morning at the helium tank as she helped prepare that day’s decorations.
