On May 28, 2021, Devine Creations held their 12th Annual Debutante Ball and Gala Dinner, which took place at Spring Chateau located in Spring, Texas. Four debutantes were presented to Houston's society as young elegant. These classy and educated young ladies completed their debutante presentation class with radiant colors. Each young lady had to go through classes in etiquette, vision board class, and classical dance.

This year’s classes began online due to the pandemic, which were held every Sunday afternoon. These young ladies had the wonderful opportunity of attending a beautiful mother and daughter tea party. The young queens in training and their mothers wore beautiful hats and ate cucumber sandwiches and scones all while bonding.

As always, the founder of Devine Creations Dr. Verna Caddie has made it her priority to recognize community leaders who are making a difference. Dr. Caddie honors these community leaders with awards to let them know that she adores what they do and want to give them their roses as a special presentation.
