Camp Wildflower: A Wedding Pros Retreat for Rest, Creativity, and Connection

…and absolutely zero forced networking circles.

How Camp Wildflower Came to Be

A little story about intuition, s’mores, and building what I wish existed

Let’s rewind. 

Camp Wildflower didn’t start with a business plan or a perfectly color-coded mood board. It started with a hard no to doing things the way the industry told us we were “supposed” to.

After years of attending wedding networking events that all felt the same—heels on, face on, talk about leads and workflows while eating cheese cubes and pretending we weren’t exhausted—I realized: this ain’t it.

I was craving something deeper. Looser. A little weirder. A lot more fun.

I didn’t need another mixer with a dress code.  I needed a campfire. A dance party. A damn exhale.  And so, I built it.

A Little Camp. A Lot of Magic.

Why “Camp”? Because that’s what it feels like. Not another retreat with curated panels and performative vibes. This is messy, sparkly, soul-refreshing Camp Wildflower.

As a kid, camp was everything to me. It’s where I learned how to be myself—awkwardly, unapologetically, all-in. I had my first breakup under a tree (yes, really), starred in over-the-top camp plays, and fell head over heels for glittery, lopsided arts and crafts. It wasn’t about perfection. It was about freedom. Expression. Belonging.

And just like the Wildflower brand, camp is where the unexpected happens. Where magic blooms in the in-between moments. Where you don’t have to perform or pitch or “network”—you just get to be. That kind of space didn’t exist in the wedding industry. So I built it.

Camp is where we ditch the roles. Where we stay up too late talking about life and business and how hard (and beautiful) this work can be. Where we make friendship bracelets, paint just to paint, and walk barefoot to breakfast. No egos. No name tags. No small talk about “how busy you are this season.” Just creatives being fully, unapologetically human—with snacks and really good playlists.

This isn’t another industry circle jerk. It’s for the wildly talented and deeply tired who are done pretending—and finally ready to play again.

The Real Origin Story

Camp was built for people who love the wedding world—and are also quietly drowning in it.

We’ve spent years performing at networking events, chasing Instagram engagement, grinding through peak season after peak season. Somewhere along the way, we lost the joy. We forgot how to create just for the hell of it. We forgot what it was like to laugh—like really laugh—with other people in the industry who just get it.

So Camp is our reset button. Our rebellion. Our reminder.

Because yeah, we love this work. But we’re not doing it at the expense of ourselves anymore.

So… What Is Camp Wildflower?

Okay, straight up: Camp Wildflower is a wedding pros retreat with slumber party energy.
It’s where rest meets reconnection meets ridiculous fun. Here’s what actually goes down:

  • A spa on-site. Always. You will have robe time.
  • Built-in rest. Nap if you want. No shame.
  • Creativity without pressure—think painting, journaling, creating just for you
  • Group convos that go way deeper than “What do you do?”
  • Community dinners, impromptu dance parties, late-night snacks
  • Arts and crafts because your inner child has things to say
  • A playlist that slaps, because of course it does
  • Dance parties. Actual ones. The kind that remind you you’re still wild and alive.
  • Connection that doesn’t feel like work

Oh, and no awkward icebreakers. Ever. Promise.

Who It’s For (Spoiler: It’s You)

Camp was made for wedding pros, creatives, and multi-hyphenate magic-makers who are so done with doing it all and pretending it’s fine.

You love what you do—but lately, it’s been feeling more like obligation than inspiration. You miss the spark. You miss you.

Camp is for the ones who are always “the calm one” in chaos, the ones who hold everyone else together, and the ones who need someone to hold space for them for once.

Whether you’re burned out, lit up, or somewhere in between—you belong here.

What Makes It Different

Listen—there are plenty of retreats that promise to “refresh” you. Camp Wildflower is not that. We’re not handing you a binder and pretending it’s transformation.

Instead, we’re giving you:

  • Time to rest (for real)—intentional blank space on the itinerary
  • A spa you’ll actually have time to use (robes encouraged)
  • Group activities that are fun AF, not another forced collaboration workshop
  • Space to create with no expectation of posting it
  • Late-night convos, dance parties, and meals you didn’t have to plan

This is real connection. This is laughter that lives in your bones. This is shaking off the shoulds and remembering why you started this wild, beautiful journey in the first place.

Where We’re Headed

What started as a whisper has grown into a full-blown ecosystem. We’re hosting winter retreats in dreamy cabins. We’re dreaming of summer sessions with open skies and open hearts. We’re filling journals, dancing barefoot, and rewriting the rules of what it means to be a successful creative in this space.

This isn’t a one-time escape. It’s a rhythm. A ritual. A new way forward.

Wanna Come to Camp?

You don’t need a title.  You don’t need a pitch deck. You don’t need to have it all together.

You just need to feel the tug. The quiet yes in your gut that says… I want in.

Camp Wildflower is where you come to rest, create, belly laugh, and maybe cry a little in your comfiest clothes. It’s s’mores and strategy. Spa robes and slow mornings. It’s the place we wish existed when we were barely holding it all together.

Burnout? Not here. Just bonfires, bold dreams, and people who get it.

We’ll save you a bunk and a mimosa. See you at Camp. 🔥
