TWDS Mini Retreat 2025

"A heartfelt thank you for such the incredible Mini Retreat. It was absolutely amazing and just what the mind and soul needed. Sitting amongst such bridal experts is truly a privilege. The platform you all created was just perfect and allowed us to share and learn from each other. I am so grateful that I was able to be a part of it. Looking forward to many more!" - Beth Anderson Harvey // Ivory Loft Bridal, Michigan

"Thank you all for hosting such a beautiful retreat. Such great energy! Having other boutique owners to contact when things come up is priceless!" - Christina Wegner // White Dress Bridal Boutique, Wisconsin

"Thank you so much for including me!  It was a really nice week!  You guys planned a wonderful retreat! I think overall I left feeling a sense of community and that our business is doing the right things. I can easily feel like I'm missing something, so I feel like all the things we talked about, we do, which felt good. I think there are a few tweaks and refreshes that I am excited to tackle, but overall I felt really confident in our structure and processes! I so appreciate the inclusive vibe and variety in the group!  Thanks for allowing me to join and making me feel so welcome from the beginning! Can't wait to continue! xo" - Jessica Limeberry // Sophia's Bridal, Indiana + Kentucky

"Thank you all so much for putting together another incredible TWDS retreat! I really enjoyed the smaller more intimate group and being able to really take time to hear from other owners about what is/is not working in our businesses and bounce ideas off of one another. I will definitely be implementing a few things I learned from everyone else immediately! Overall, I had a great time and really got a lot out of the few days we were together." - Abby Janiszewski // Strike Bridal Bar, Wisconsin

"Attending The White Dress Society retreat was the most valuable thing I've done for my small bridal boutique! Hearing so many inspirational and educational speakers, all who specialise in the wedding industry, has provided me with some really valuable skills which I can utilise both in the short term and long term to develop and grow my business. In addition, the networking opportunities to connect with like-minded business owners was absolutely amazing! I'll definitely be returning!" -Laura Watson // The Bride Lab, Australia

“This is by far the best learning event that I have ever been to. As an entrepreneur, I love attending conferences and learning events to see to the different ways I can creatively and efficiently run my businesses. However, this event was SO SPECIFIC to my businesses that it was easy to relate and take action immediately. It is almost a no brainer to attend this event if you are a bridal store owner as it couldn't get more relevant than this. Aside from the incredible amount of learning, there is a wealth of knowledge from the attendee's, I've received process and experience shares from other bridal shops that will save me time and energy from doing research/trial and error myself. I wish I can say this is the best kept secret, but I actually want every bridal store owner to attend, so that they run their business with the highest integrity because there is enough business to go around.“ - Jennifer Dang // Ferre Sposa, Canada

"ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE are the words that come to my mind when I reflect of my time at retreat over the last few days! Impeccable attention to every detail, inspiring guest speakers, and y'all created such an ambiance to Ask. Speak. Share! Thank you SO very much Beth + Charlotte for all the effort you put into this event to make it an indescribable experience!" - Courtney Foreman // Weddings with Joy, Washington
