You are cordially invited to disappear from ordinary life for an afternoon…
Come dress up, drink something sparkling from a vintage glass, play with flowers, gather around a table overflowing with beautiful things, and remember how lovely it is to create simply for the joy of creating.
Bubbles & Blooms is the inaugural public pop-up from Camellia Tea Society, Lulalei & Flowers on Main.
For one afternoon, we’re creating a tiny world devoted to beauty, creativity, connection, ritual, and sacred play.
A place where flowers are meant to be played with, the good china is always used, you can bring your own champagne, and grown women are strongly encouraged to believe in magic.
There are only ten places at our table.
Perhaps one of them has been waiting for you.
An afternoon of tea, flowers, bubbles, full moon magic, dress-up, & sacred play

"Would you like an adventure now, or shall we have our tea first?"
Whatever makes you feel…
Magical. Whimsical. Romantic. Powerful. Fabulous.
There is no dress code.
There is, however, an invitation.
Wear something that makes you feel magical, whimsical, romantic, powerful, playful, or fabulously unlike your everyday self.
The dress waiting for an occasion.
The ridiculous hat.
Pearls at 1:30 in the afternoon.
Something flowing.
Something sparkling.
Something that makes your inner eight-year-old extremely pleased with your decisions.
"Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."
Not every gathering needs a grand occasion. We believe modern rituals can be as simple as sharing tea with friends, celebrating a new season, honoring a life transition, or dressing up simply because it brings joy. And yet, with ritual, community is formed, and magic is made. From flower circles and ceremonial cacao to new moon women's circles, we create intentional experiences that celebrate connection, beauty, and being fully present.

Meaningful Ways to Gather
intentional circles
Sometimes the best celebrations invite us to step into another world. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, enchanted gardens, folklore, fantasy, and imaginative storytelling, these gatherings encourage guests of every age to dress up, embrace curiosity, and celebrate with childlike joy. From whimsical children’s tea parties to magical adult soirées, imagination is always welcome.
Perfect for: Alice in Wonderland Tea Parties • Children’s Celebrations • Fairytale Birthdays • Girls’ Gatherings • Fantasy-Inspired Events
Wonder Isn’t Just for Children
Fairytales & Imagination
Some of our favorite celebrations blend historic inspiration with contemporary creativity. Whether it’s a Bridgerton-inspired garden party, a steampunk tea gathering, or a modern botanical brunch, we love reimagining classic traditions through fresh styling, thoughtful hospitality, and personalized details that reflect your unique story.
Inspired by the glamour of the 1920s and 30s, our Art Deco gatherings embrace vintage champagne coupes, candlelight, jazz-age elegance, and unforgettable celebrations. Think Great Gatsby soirées, champagne brunches, murder mystery dinners, and sophisticated cocktail-style gatherings designed with dramatic styling and playful luxury.
Victorian and Edwardian traditions gave rise to the classic afternoon tea—an opportunity to slow down, gather with loved ones, and celebrate life’s everyday moments. Inspired by elegant garden parties, heirloom china, botanical apothecaries, and the timeless art of hospitality, our interpretations blend vintage charm with modern comfort for beautifully curated tea parties, bridal showers, and intimate celebrations.
At Camellia Tea Society, we believe beautiful traditions are meant to evolve. Our gatherings draw inspiration from vintage tea culture, historic celebrations, and imaginative storytelling—not as recreations of the past, but as creative starting points for something entirely new.
Rather than preserving one culture or era, we thoughtfully blend influences from around the world with contemporary hospitality, local collaboration, and the spirit of gathering that makes Maui so special. Every celebration is designed to feel welcoming, playful, inclusive, and deeply personal—a modern ritual inspired by history, but created for today.
The result is something entirely its own: timeless, playful, and designed for today’s celebrations.
Every gathering tells a story
Themes & Inspirations
We believe celebration is more than a special occasion— it’s a way of honoring life.
In a world that asks us to be productive, practical, and busy, gathering can be a radical act of joy. Whether it’s dressing up for no reason at all, raising a champagne glass with friends, honoring a milestone, or creating a new tradition, we believe beauty, play, and connection deserve a place at the table.
Camellia Tea Society was created from the belief that wonder isn’t just for children. Through thoughtful details, imaginative experiences, and a touch of vintage charm, we create opportunities to slow down, delight in the moment, and celebrate simply because life is worth celebrating.
From meaningful rituals to purely frivolous revelry, we happily curate it all.
Why We Gather
― A.A. Milne
"What day is it?” asked Pooh. “It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh.”
Investment is $175, and includes drinks, two floral workshops, seated tea experience, gift bags, and more!
This is our second gathering and an intentionally intimate first edition of what we hope will become an ongoing series of Camellia pop-ups.
Come alone. Come with your best friend. Come with your mother, sister, sweetheart, or favorite fellow daydreamer.
