Why did you start your business? Gretchen started Otis + Pearl after what began as a wedding hobby quickly blossomed into a true passion. While planning her own wedding in 2013, she had an absolute blast sourcing vintage teacups, dessert plates, quirky vases, and all the little details that made the day feel uniquely personal and unforgettable. That experience sparked a deeper love for the beauty of thoughtful design and meaningful gatherings. Otis + Pearl was born from a desire to bring that same joy to others, creating something personal, intentional, and full of heart.
