THE SOUL BEHIND VINTAGE PEARLS

I'm Tonya Michelle,

a proud US Army Veteran and the founder of Vintage Pearls. With a firm belief that every polished manner leads to unimagined accomplishments, I dedicate myself to nurturing grace, discipline, and social decorum in every young mind I encounter.

At Vintage Pearls, my mission is to provide comprehensive etiquette workshops and boot camps tailored for toddlers, children, and young adults. My hands-on approach and genuine passion for manners and etiquette ensure that each participant not only learns but embraces these essential life skills. Through engaging, interactive sessions, I foster an environment where conscious decisions and polished manners become second nature.

Tea Parties: Experience the charm of our beautifully arranged tea parties, where etiquette meets elegance. Our themed tea events are perfect for teaching young ones the art of social grace while having a delightful time sipping tea and enjoying light treats. These gatherings are not just about fun—they're about fostering confidence and poise in a sophisticated setting.

Event Planning and Decor: We specialize in creating remarkable experiences centered on our client’s unique visions and dreams. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, we handle all aspects of event planning and decor, ensuring every detail is perfect.

Catering: Partnering with experienced chefs, we offer a diverse range of culinary delights to suit any event. Whether it’s a small gathering or a large banquet, our goal is to make your event memorable with delicious cuisine.

Fresh Florals: Our floral creations are made possible due to our numerous connections to growers and wholesalers of seasonal, extravagant, and common flowers. Designing floral bouquets, arrangements, and centerpieces tailored to your specific desires is our pleasure.

Invitations: From creating digital e-vites and event pages to handcrafted and scripted invitations, we are here to design, style, and create the announcement you want. Let us bring your ideas to life with beautifully crafted invitations.

Rentals: Whether decorating for a large wedding or a chic backyard soiree, Vintage Pearls has the chair-covers, linens, chandeliers, chairs, vases, and more to offer for the occasion. We’re ready to work with your event team or simply you to bring together a quality and impressive setting for you and your guests.
