You pour into everyone else,

This one is just for you!

Wedding season asks a LOT of us. We give our brides our time, our energy, and our very best work, and somewhere along the way, our own needs get pushed to the bottom of the pile.

The SBS Members Retreat is our chance to step out of the sewing room, learn from each other, and come home refreshed and ready for the season ahead! Workshop time, real conversations, and a little Asheville adventure, all with the friends who GET it!

Bonus

Your retreat ticket includes admission to the National Conference on March 8!

What is waiting for you…

A workshop day at Sugarcane Studios

Hands-on time together in the studio, plus a shopping trip to Sewing Studio Fabrics. (Pack an extra carryon for THAT trip!)

Health and wellness

A session on building self-care habits that actually hold up during busy season, not just in the off-season.

Keynote speakers who inspire

Our featured keynotes will share branding and marketing strategies, communication tools for difficult client situations, and wellness routines that we can take home with us. Education is the cornerstone to our winter retreats.

Communicating with brides

How to guide the conversation during fittings, and how to navigate difficult clients with confidence and grace.

Breakout sessions with peers

Small-group time to talk through your real challenges with bridal seamstresses who have been right where you are.

Exploring Asheville

Time to wander, eat well, and soak up the mountains together. Rest is part of the plan!

Come home refreshed, inspired, and ready for your best season yet!
