Wrights Market: Where Southern Elegance Finds Its Home
Wrights Market: Where Southern Elegance Finds Its Home
Tucked inside a lovingly restored 1942 cottage in the heart of Rincon, Georgia, Wrights Market is more than just a store—it’s a living, breathing expression of Southern charm, timeless style, and heartfelt community. The moment you step into the garden, greeted by the sound of trickling fountains and the gentle rustle of garden leaves, it becomes clear: this is a place created with care, intention, and love.
Founded by a local husband-and-wife duo, Heather and Ike Wright, with deep roots in the community, Wrights Market was born out of a desire to give back to the town that raised him. “This is our hometown,” says Heather. “My husband was born and raised here, and it’s always held a special place in his heart. Creating a space that felt inviting and meaningful to the community was incredibly important to both of us.”
That dream began to take shape when a dear friend, Ali Graham, helped the couple find the perfect location: a historic cottage built in 1942 by Benjamin Waldhour. “The moment we walked in, we saw the potential—not just in the space, but in what it could become,” she shares. With the blessing of the Ms. Marilyn Brown and the Waldhour family, who had lovingly preserved the property for generations, Wrights Market began to bloom.
Today, the market is a multi-faceted experience where nature, style, and thoughtful giving meet. The garden side of the business offers plant rentals, floral arrangements with living plants, soil evaluations, and custom planter designs. With complimentary delivery within a 10-mile radius, the market prides itself on offering hard-to-find plant material—from fruit trees and flowering shrubs to fragrant herbs.
Inside the boutique, expert consultants help customers find pieces that match their personal style. The clothing selection includes luxury lines like Emily McCarthy and Brianna Cannon, as well as everyday styles for both men and women. The gift section is ever-changing, filled with unique, high-quality items for the home and special occasions, always wrapped with complimentary packaging and Southern grace.
But what truly sets Wrights Market apart is the people behind it. “We are so fortunate to have an incredible ensemble of friends, family, and team members who bring their own passions to life here,” Heather notes. “Some are gifted in caring for specific plants, while others have an eye for creating the perfect outfit. Everyone contributes something meaningful, and this place could not run without them.”
Each morning begins with complimentary coffee and quiet moments on the benches outside, surrounded by blooms and beauty. On Saturdays, the market hosts a rotation of local vendors, offering space for other small businesses to connect with the community and share their craft.
Wrights Market appeals to those who embrace a beautifully curated lifestyle—people who take pride in their homes, find joy in giving, and appreciate style with a story. It especially resonates with women who value elegance, connection, and the simple pleasure of slowing down. It’s a place where customers don’t just shop—they feel at home.
