The best wedding affiliate programs will help you earn extra income by selling products your audience will already be needing to buy. 

In this post, we will be highlighting a mix of wedding affiliate programs that include products targeting brides & groom’s to be who will need merchandises like a wedding dress, wedding favors, and similar products for their big day. 

In addition, we’ll be covering some great wedding affiliate programs for those wedding vendors who are planning to target other wedding vendors in their messaging. For example, we cover a range of affiliate offers that wedding photographers can take advantage of to scale their revenue. 

It is our goal to showcase some of the best affiliate programs in the wedding industry so you can reap the benefits. 

How to Use Wedding Affiliate Programs to Earn More Money

If you’re new to earning money with affiliate programs, consider this a brief tutorial to get you up to speed!

If you are a wedding vendor (photographer, DJ, florist, planner, etc.), you can share products being created by other companies with your clients, and when they buy something, you make a commission.

As a wedding vendor, you also have a second audience that can be really attractive to market to – other wedding vendors. For example, if you’re a wedding photographer, you can talk about your favorite CRM, camera equipment, preset packs, and more…adding value to other photographers, and inspiring them to purchase things they may already want ot need. 

The amount of money you can make varies from wedding affiliate program to program. Some have fixed commission rates, while others give you a percentage of sales. 

When identifying the right affiliate marketing programs for wedding vendors to use, we suggest selecting just a few to get started with. Testing their products can be a great way to get some first-hand exposure and make sure you can support sharing with your audience. In general, recognizable brand names (like BHLDN for wedding dress affiliate programs) will be higher converting than a company you’ve never heard of. 

Finally, when using these wedding affiliate programs, you’ll need to sign up and get custom links to their products that you can then host on your website, social media, email marketing campaigns, etc. These links will have a special identifier that tells the program that it’s you who referred a customer.

Wedding Registry Affiliate Programs

Honeyfund

Honeyfund is the #1 online wedding gift registry, and a great opportunity to make affiliate sales. If you are a wedding vendor, your clients may very well already need the benefits of a service like this so they can create a wedding gift registry to share with their friends & family.

Honeymoon Wishes

Honeymoon Wishes is a platform catering to travel agents to create a honeymoon registry website they can share with their clients. Clients can use this registry to help fund “experiences” – so honeymoon travel experiences, instead of the traditional wedding registry. It’s a cool concept and one that can be very lucrative for affiliates!

Affiliate program commission: Earn 20% of the service and handling fees. Because of the way Honeymoon Wishes works (allowing travel agents to whitelabel an already designed registry), there is a one-time fee to join this program.
