Autumn Glow: Your Guide to a Perfect Candle Ritual

Autumn Glow: Your Guide to a Perfect Candle Ritual

5 Steps to Acing Your Candle Burning Ritual This Autumn

 

Step 1 - Choose your vibe! 

Start by selecting a candle that sets the perfect mood. Do you love a jar candle, or a tapered candle? The Solei Studios 100% Soy Wax Candles are scented jar candles, Solei offers a range of scents to match any feeling, whether you're looking for the fruity notes of 'Pink Skies' or the warm, earthy tones of 'Sundown'. These vegan, hand-poured soy wax candles are an excellent choice for a clean, fragrant burn.

 

 

Alternatively, our selection of tapers are perfect for adding colour to your space. From hand poured coconut wax tapers, to dipped colourful tapers and even scented tapers! We have you covered for all candle type occasions!

 

Step 2: Set the Stage with the Right Holder

The right candle holder not only adds to your decor but also ensures a safe burn. For a classic, elegant touch, consider the Bohemia Design Black Iron Candle Holders or the vintage-inspired Morgan Wright Wee Willy Winkie Candle Holder in Cream. For a striking look, pair them with the long, eco-friendly Pygmalion London Dinner Candles. If you are burning a jar candle you will not need a holder to ensure a safe burn, however you can recycle your jar or pot into something else after use! - a lot of our jar candles come in a ceramic pot perfect for re use!

 

 

Step 3: Ignite with Intention 

Lighting your candle is the official start of your ritual. The hand-cast, striped Hello Marilu Stripy Match Stick Holders with their built-in strike disc make this step a stylish and easy one. Take a moment to focus on the intention behind your ritual, whether it's for relaxation, focus, or simply to enjoy a moment of peace.

 

Step 4: Mind the Burn

To get the most out of your candle, remember a few key tips: always burn it long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the surface to prevent tunneling, and avoid burning it for more than four hours at a time. This will ensure a longer-lasting and more fragrant candle.

Step 5: Extinguish Gracefully

When your ritual is complete, extinguish the flame safely and elegantly. A brass bell snuffer, like the Morgan Wright Brass Bell Candle Snuffer, is the perfect tool. It not only looks beautiful but also prevents the smoke and sooty smell that can result from blowing a candle out. This final step marks the end of your ritual, leaving your space filled with a beautiful lingering scent.

We believe candles are more than just a purchase; they are a gift, and each burn should be a ritual. We have a variety of accessories to turn your evening light into something you look forward to.
