MelRhea Balloons was established in the summer of 2000 by Melissa Rhea Vinson (MelRhea is a combination of Melissa's first and middle names). An artist since birth, Melissa blends her unique perspective and classic style with current trends, making your event or celebration one to remember. Through her experience, work ethic, and exposure to different cultures, Melissa has grown into an internationally renowned, award-winning balloon artist and stylist and has developed a solid base of clients regionally as well as across the globe. Melissa, after much prayer and consideration, officially closed MelRhea Balloons in the summer of 2025. She will be forever grateful for the incredible journey and relationships that this journey has brought!
