The Wildflower Collective

Members Only | Starting at $300/ mo

The Wildflower Collective is An Elite Circle of Artists, Creators and Visionaries Serving Wildflower Couples


If you are seeing this, you have been personally invited to join our private Collective

We are curating a circle of the most extraordinary vendors across Georgia and the Southeast — floral designers, photographers, filmmakers, planners, stylists, bakers, musicians, and artisans — hand-selected for their artistry, integrity, and devotion to excellence.

Becoming a Wildflower Collective Member is not simply “joining a preferred vendor list.”
It is entering a partnership with a venue that is rewriting the wedding experience for couples who want beauty, soul, effortless luxury, and a garden-forward aesthetic unlike anywhere else in Georgia.

It is a Place Where:

Vendors are featured in our signature Wedding Planning Book — the physical guide every bride receives.

Vendors gain exclusive access to our highly qualified couples.

Vendors participate in site-wide showcase moments that directly impact bookings.

Connect with a group of high performing vendors that works on property together every weekend


What This is Not

The Collective is not a pay-for-leads program.
We don’t sell contact lists, preferred placement, or transactional access to couples.

Instead, your participation allows us to do something much more meaningful:

• Thoughtfully feature your work in luxury planning materials — including printed guides and editorial-style pieces couples actually keep, reference, and share
• Introduce your brand through story and context, not advertisements — positioning you as an artisan, not a vendor
• Create curated events, showcases, and seasonal gatherings that highlight your craft in real, lived experiences
• Invest in professional photography, printing, hosting, and production that elevates everyone involved

Your Collective contribution directly supports the creation of these materials and experiences — the design, printing, editorial curation, and events that allow your work to be seen beautifully and authentically.

Our couples don’t encounter you as a recommendation on a list — they meet you through trust, artistry, and immersion. That is where true alignment happens.

We are intentionally keeping the Collective small, aligned, and values-driven. Every participant is chosen with care, and participation is meant to feel mutually honoring — never extractive.

WHAT VENDORS RECEIVE AS MEMBERS OF THE WILDFLOWER COLLECTIVE:

1. Exclusive Access to Our Wildflower Couples

Your work will be placed directly in front of couples who are already primed for elevated, romantic, garden-driven storytelling.

What this means:

  • Your brand is introduced immediately upon booking — not months later.

  • Brides meet you within a context of trust: if you're in the Collective, you’re already vetted as exceptional.

  • You bypass the noise of the saturated Georgia vendor market and stand beside the absolute best.

  • Our couples prioritize Collective vendors first — and often exclusively.

This is one of the strongest lead-generation ecosystems in the Lake Oconee region.

2. Inclusion in The Wildflower Wedding Planning Book

Every prospective and booked bride receives our physical, beautifully designed Wildflower Planning Book during tours and onboarding.

This book is treated like a treasure.
Couples keep it on their nightstands. Parents read it. Planners use it.

As a Collective Member, you are required to advertise:

Advertising Tiers

  • Half Page — $300/month

  • Full Page — $600/month

  • Double Spread (2 full pages) — $1,200/month

Minimum membership requirement:
All Collective vendors must maintain at least one half-page advertisement ($300/month).
This ensures quality, consistency, and an elevated aesthetic that aligns with your brand.

What this means for you:

  • Your work becomes a part of every couple’s planning journey.

  • You gain subconscious visibility that no online platform can replicate.

  • Your brand becomes woven into our venue identity.

  • The more space you take, the more dominant your position becomes.

This book is your year-round advertising engine.

This allows you to build your brand using the magic of our gardens and 1814 estate.

WHY JOIN THE WILDFLOWER COLLECTIVE?

Because this is not a venue. It is a world.

Couples come to Wildflower because:

  • The gardens feel enchanted.

  • The 1814 mansion feels timeless.

  • The experience feels curated, elegant, intimate, and soulful.

  • The venue’s story captivates them.

  • The brand is distinct, romantic, and magnetic.

When you join the Collective, you are not “getting a lead.”
You are entering a creative ecosystem where your art is honored, elevated, and showcased.

Where the brides who love beauty, mastery, and meaning find you — and fall in love.

The Core Reframe: From Ads to Invitations

HOW WE HELP YOU BUILD INSTANT REPOIR BY DESIGNING YOUR AD ALONG WITH YOU

Look at the two ads above - same DJ; two different impacts

Most wedding advertising talks at couples

Logos. Taglines. A few pretty photos.
This is information.
Information creates comparison.
Comparison creates fatigue.

Read that again: information creates COMPARISON - COMPARISON CREATES FATIGUE

The Wildflower Society Book does something entirely different.

It draws couples in and quietly says:

“Here is what your wedding could feel like.”

Basic Advertising (What Most People Do)

This is the quarter-page mindset:

  • Logo

  • Service list

  • A few photos

  • Contact info

This says:

“Here is who we are.”

Useful.
But forgettable.

Immersive Storytelling (What You Are Inviting Them Into)

This is the full-spread mindset:

  • Art-driven imagery that sets a mood

  • Copy that guides the couple

  • Education woven into beauty

  • Clear reassurance: “We’ve got you.”

This says:

“Here is how your wedding becomes effortless and extraordinary.”

This is where couples stop and read.
This is where they circle pages.
This is where decisions get made.

Serve Couples Through your Ad

This is key

We are not asking you to sell harder.
We are asking you to do the legwork for the couple.

For a DJ:

Instead of:

“Professional DJ with 10+ years experience”

Invite:

  • “How to structure your music so guests stay all night”

  • “Why the first 10 minutes of open dancing matter more than the last hour”

  • “What to tell your DJ if you want romance, not a nightclub”

Now the couple thinks:

“Oh. They understand the emotional arc.”

For a Photographer

Instead of:

“Light & airy wedding photography”

Invite:

  • “When to build buffer time so you’re not rushed”

  • “Why golden hour portraits only work if your timeline supports them”

  • “How to feel natural instead of posed”

Now the couple feels:

“This person will protect my experience.”

For Florists, Planners, Caterers, Artists

Here’s what to do:

  • Name common mistakes couples make

  • Gently remove fear

  • Show what’s possible

  • Translate aesthetics into decisions

This is leadership, not marketing.

Why Bigger Space = Bigger Impact (Without Pressure)

Smaller placements tell couples what you do.
Larger spreads let couples see you in action

A double spread allows:

  • Breathing room for art

  • Space for narrative

  • Room to educate without overwhelm

  • A feeling of calm competence

And most importantly:

It allows couples to decide faster.

Which is the greatest gift you can give them.

The Wildflower Standard

( Your North Star)

“Everything in this book exists to make couples feel:
– inspired
– calm
– guided
– certain

If your artwork and copy do that, you’re not just advertising.
You’re becoming part of their story.
