Soigné Retreat 2025 Mood Boards
We’ve created mood boards for the designs we’re planning for the upcoming retreat to provide vibe & outfit inspiration as well as get you excited for all there is to come! It’s going to be a beautiful gathering planned with YOU in mind. Use these as you prepare for our time together.
bring your most authentic self
While these mood boards are to share inspiration and guidance for your attire, we want you to show up in outfits that feel authentic and true to you. Please feel free to interpret these as you see fit, keeping in mind we would like to keep the general feel of each board during our time together!
Fireside Gathering Attire Inspo - Monday PM
When you arrive, we want you to come as you are and come comfortable! We will be spending the evening together by the fire and encourage you bring a jacket and options you can easily layer as needed. While spring is here, April evenings in Michigan will often have a chill to them— prepare accoordingly!
Le Jardin Gourmand Attire Inspo - Tuesday AM
For our Tuesday ‘day look’, we are going for a neutral business casual feel with a touch of old English charm. Think plaid, slacks, loafers, leather, muted earth tones, and a chic feel. You’ll spend the majority of Tuesday in this outfit so make sure it’s something you feel comfortable in. Lunch is very French Farmers Market which perfectly fits this vibe!
Nested in Hope Attire Inspo - Tuesday PM
We’re bringing the moody, old world French springtime vibe to dinner with organic floral and marvelous blooms exclusive to this time of year. We’re envisioning butter yellow, soft apricot, punchy greens, and neutral tones for this moody dinner gathering.
Power of Growth Attire Inspo - Wednesday AM
For our last gathering, we are leaning into the spring look in every way. Think pastels, florals, and garden-inspired looks that are sure to brighten your morning right up!
