With so many styles to choose from, you can easily find one that perfectly reflects your preferences and wedding theme. From a votive candle inserted into a rustic wood slab to a luxury candles poured into glamorous crystal jars, all are handmade by skillful craftsmen.

Compared to many of those commercially made, handmade candles are usually made using 100% natural and biodegradable soy wax, beeswax or vegetable base. Unlike paraffin candles, vegan friendly soy wax contains no toxins, pollutants or carcinogens. As bonus incentive, hand poured natural soy candles burn more cleanly and will also last longer.

Just like a fine perfume, a luxury candle is the elaborate creation of an exquisite fragrance, using high quality wax and wick, and presented in a dreamy container such as the crystal jars shown below.
