The Floral Rockstar Retreat - All the Details!

In this episode, Jen shares all the details about the final workshop of the year: **Floral Rockstar Retreat**, happening **August 16–18** on her family farm in Dennison, Minnesota. This is not just a floral workshop — it is a restorative, portfolio-building, creativity-fueling experience designed to help florists slow down, connect, create, and walk away with an upgraded body of work they can actually use. After seeing how attendees used the images from previous workshops, Jen completely rethought and upgraded this experience. That means more intentional styling, more sets, more content, and more opportunities to leave with portfolio images that feel scroll-stopping and brand elevating. The retreat begins Sunday evening with a welcome gathering on the farm featuring charcuterie, a custom cowboy hat bar, and s’mores if the weather cooperates. Monday includes a restorative yoga session, a beautifully styled Strawberry Fields-inspired lunch, hands-on floral design time building out the next day’s styled shoot, and a girls’ night out at a local restaurant. The styled shoot itself is farm-to-table inspired, with a basket-filled ceremony installation, a richly layered green velvet head table, fruits and vegetables woven into the design, and miniature donkeys and cows incorporated into the imagery. Jen also shares that the vendor team is incredible, including **Rachel L Photography**, **Grace Myler Media / The Wedding Edit** for behind-the-scenes content, and **Tim Thornburg Films**. This retreat is meant to feel peaceful, fun, and creatively energizing. It is also designed with florists’ schedules in mind, running Sunday through Tuesday so attendees can still work around weekend weddings.
