The White Dress Society Retreat is an opportunity for bridal store owners to gather in a uniquely intimate setting. Limited to 50, this three day retreat allows like-minded store owners to come together for inspiration, networking and learning. Whether you are a new store owner looking for guidance, or a seasoned veteran looking to take your business to the next level, this retreat is your opportunity for growth and improvement. While there are many wedding industry conferences, The White Dress Society Retreat is the first one of its kind, geared specifically toward bridal store owners.
The 3 day intense learning and networking will be lead by industry leader, Beth Chapman in The Windy City, Chicago, IL. Not only has Chapman owned her boutique, The White Dress by the shore for 15 years, she is founder of The White Dress Society and creator of The Series 2.0: an educational video series for bridal store owners. She has carefully curated a panel of innovative experts, both from inside and outside of the wedding world, to cover compelling and relevant topics intended to educate and inspire.

“2017 was the worst year for my store. Our sales were declining and I wasn’t sure of my next steps. I felt alone and, at times, even my biggest supporters didn’t seem to actually get the weight of my business. Inspirational quotes and “you will figure it out” don’t actually help. The White Dress Society has always been an online sounding board, however, I knew I needed to invest in my myself and my brand if I want to reach my potential. The retreat allowed me to not feel alone amongst my peers but also to gain tactical knowledge I could implement into my business. Investing in yourself and your business will never be convenient or free but, if you want to grow your network and gain real knowledge, you have to start here first. No matter if you are a multi-million dollar store or you have yet to sell one dress : Your goals and business are worth investing in. I know you will walk away with things you can start to implement into your business so that you can own 2019. I know this because after 2 years of attending The Retreat we just had our best year yet. “
