Hi! I'm Daveyva the owner of Blooming Arrow Events! Here's my story of how I BLOOM in life with what makes me HAPPY.
Let me start from the beginning of where my passion for entertaining began and grew into a business. I have fond memories of growing up in England having afternoon tea in different places with my mom. I came to the U.S. and settled in Northern Virginia when I was 11 and we continue to enjoy having tea together with friends and family.
My Happy Place
My other happy is my little family with my husband of almost 20 years and three sons' ages 15,18 and 28. we live in what I call the enchanted forest in Newington. Completing our family is our two "girls" (chihuahuas), Chloe and Lucy. When I'm not spending time with family and events, I love antiquing, thrifting and spending time at home sweet home. Being a mom of three boys, I just had to have a space to make as girly as possible to escape to. I claimed two areas. One is a nook in our backyard where I created a small fairy garden and had my husband build me a She Shed. The second space is a room downstairs that I made into what I call a "tearoom of curiosities" where I work on craft projects and cuddle up with my girls and binge watch all genres of shows and movies and of course have teatime with friends. My family picture below is my all time FAVORITE Christmas card image that was taken about five years ago at an alpaca farm. I'm absolutely obsessed with llamas and alpacas!
Bloom Your Own Way
With my love of collecting beautiful china and background in hospitality, 9 years ago I decided to take the plunge and pursue a dream of mine of creating tea party experiences for others to enjoy. I started off with hosting public interactive themed tea parties in collaboration with other local businesses and private tea parties where we offered full-service packages that included myself and my team that would service the whole event. In 2024 I decided to pivot my business to only providing rentals of our beautiful collection. It took me a long time to finally decide to do this, since I love providing the full service experience, but for now this is the best decision.
Let our collection of curiosities tell your stroy. Please contact me to discuss your plans and turn your vision in to a reality!
