About BASH
I’m Tiffanie Elliott, owner of Elliott Events, a wedding planning/event design company. Like everyone around the world in 2020, our family was in quarantine. For some fun, we participated in a ‘front porchrait’ photo shoot. I love a good theme, so we chose The Wizard of OZ and balloons made perfect sense. With my background in design and logistics, I had designed balloons for kids’ parties, but never on such a large scale. Looking at this photo now, I see a lot of imperfections - but you have to start somewhere!
Neighbors, friends, and strangers from across Middle Tennessee suddenly started asking me to create balloon designs for them. I was blown away! I never could have anticipated how much people loved these balloon designs and the joy it brought to their day. By popular demand, BASH was born. Here at BASH, we provide the BEST balloon styling and party planning for celebrations of any size!
BASH is an extension of Elliott Events.
Why the name BASH?
Our kids names are Beckham and Ashlyn = BASH!
