VALENTINE'S DAY AT BBYQR
Last call for Feb Photoshoot bookings!
Secure your spot on February 2, 2025! These photoshoot days are some of our most treasured moments with our clients. Come see what all the hype is about!
The Valentine's Day Collection
We ate too much chocolate during the holidays (speaking from personal experience), so why not get Valentine’s Day balloons instead? From balloon bouquets, to table toppers, to (somewhat scandalous) jumbo hearts, we have it all!
JANUARY HIGHLIGHTS
Faux Ever After with The Atlas Hotel
When: January 23, 2025
Where: The Atlas Hotel (4177 Albert Street, Regina, SK)
Everyone loves a wedding! Who cares if it’s fake? We had the best time at The Atlas Hotel’s latest, most creative fundraiser yet! This fake wedding proved what a gorgeous venue The Atlas Hotel is for your next event. And did we mention it was SO MUCH FUN?
Valentine's Day (Season) with Wascana Flower Shoppe
When: January/February, 2025
Where: Wascana Flower Shoppe (333 Victoria Avenue East, Regina, SK)
Flowers and balloons, name a better combo! Wascana Flower Shoppe has a gorgeous store-front, and we love filling it with balloons!

Need Valentine’s Day inspo? Look no further. Wascana Flower Shoppe has amazing packages this February, including this beautiful collaboration with Queen City Cakes. Hint, hint, secret admirers…
