We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Dot & Daisy a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Dot & Daisy, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
Dot & Daisy is a mother (Jen)-daughter (Jo) owned business. We began in the summer of 2020 when celebrations were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re creative by nature, so we started making balloon garlands for family & friends as a way to bring joy and signify a celebration! From there, we took things further. Crafting Tiny Tent sleepover parties for kids, handmade fringe backdrops and intricate balloon pieces, Dot & Daisy has grown into a fully-formed balloon and sleepover tent rental business. We love creating, and this business gives us the opportunity to do what we love and share it with the world.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
We are a mother-daughter duo that specializes in unique event decor for anything worth celebrating. We specialize in balloon garlands, photo backdrops, sleepover tent rentals, and unique event decor. What sets us apart from others is us – our nature. We both find joy within ourselves by bringing joy and happiness to others. We have a very specialized aesthetic that is whimsical, over-the-top, joyful, and fun! We are proud of every single job, because it means we have provided something that has brought happiness or whimsy to someone.
We are here to bring joy to your next celebration. We offer sleepover tent rentals for kids and adults, custom balloon decor, photo backdrops, and unique event decor!
We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.
The success of our business has come down to hard-work, determination, and a love of creating. We’re so lucky to be able to work together as mother and daighter, and to include a third generation (Jen’s mom & Jo’s grandma) into our business is absolute magic. We’ve always enjoyed working on projects together, and now we get the opportunity to do that on a larger scale.
