As promised I am back with part 2 of The Open Trunk Workshop Series.  I was able to attend 2 of Heather’s workshops in 2018 and this first one was an amazing workshop turned retreat!! It is jam packed with wedding inspiration at  Creeekside Villa in Canmore.  If you missed part 1 you can see it here.

Make sure to head all the way to the bottom to see some exciting news I have about Heather’s big workshop/retreat this year!!

#4 Canadian Mountain Love Retreat

We started the day with a mix and mingle and getting settled into our rooms, followed by some amazing guest speakers sharing their wisdom with us.

There is always amazing food and a fabulously styled editorial wedding shoot!

Heather always throws in some fun challenges to get creative and build community as well.  This time we divided into teams and were given a color from the Hudson Bay blanket as inspiration to design our table.

We then spent some time styling on our own with the decor from the shoot and our amazing swag bags!!  Oh the swag!! & giveaways!!

This the door prize I won, and this is the most comfy sweatshirt and I am now hooked on this Prosecco!!
