Know before you buy
These candles are designed to burn for approximately one hour per inch, meaning you can expect about 9 hours of burn time per candle.
These tapers are specifically crafted to be drip-free, provided they are placed in a draft-free environment and kept away from air currents.
These candles feature a standard 7/8-inch base. If you find the fit is slightly loose or tight due to natural wax variations, you can use a candle sharpener to shave the base for a secure, custom fit.
Each candle is meticulously dipped 35 times by hand to achieve its color depth. These subtle differences in wax thickness and hue are intentional characteristics of the artisanal dipping process.
The Floral Society uses a braided cotton wick, which is designed to provide a clean, consistent, and steady flame throughout the life of the candle.
