Something Borrowed, Something Burning: Designing Custom Candles for Your Wedding Day

Something Borrowed, Something Burning: Designing Custom Candles for Your Wedding Day

A thoughtful favor. A vessel worth keeping.

A wedding candle can hold more than a fragrance. It can carry your names, your date and a little of the feeling you want your guests to take home.

At a•scenting, we hand pour soy candles in Delray Beach, Florida, for wedding tables, bridal showers, welcome gifts and celebrations. Choose petite glass votives, classic jars, reusable glass cloches or individually sourced vintage vessels. The candle burns down, the vessel stays.

Custom wedding candle favors, from 10 candles

Custom orders begin at 10 candles. A simple glass votive makes a petite place-setting gift; a jar offers room for a personal label; a cloche or collected vintage piece can become a keepsake for your bridal party or a candle for the wedding table.

Vessel styles, fragrance availability, packaging and timing are confirmed with your quote. Curated vintage pieces are individually sourced, so the selection depends on the vessels available for your project.

How your custom candles come together

  1. Share your plans. Tell us your date, quantity, preferred vessel, fragrance and the words you would like on the label.
  2. Confirm the details. We confirm pricing, packaging, shipping and timing, then prepare your label proof for approval.
  3. Approve your proof. Check the names, spelling, date and design before pouring begins.
  4. Made for your occasion. Your candles are hand poured and prepared according to the agreed order details.

Your label can include names, a date, a short message or a business logo. The label builder on our custom-order page lets you share your wording and preferred direction; the final illustration and layout are prepared in your proof.

Choose a fragrance that feels like your day

Begin with the atmosphere you want to create. A soft floral can complement a garden celebration; a clean or coastal fragrance can suit an airy setting; warmer notes can feel at home at an evening dinner.

  • Petal - magnolia and peony, softly floral.
  • Shore - sea salt and orchid, fresh and coastal.
  • Veil - clean cotton, fresh and understated.
  • Anchor - lavender and driftwood, calm and softly woodsy.
  • Moss - oakmoss and amber, earthy and warm.

Explore our fragrance collection or ask for help choosing. Available fragrances are confirmed for your order.

Labels, packaging and ordering questions

Can the candles have our names and wedding date?

Yes. Share your wording, occasion and preferred label style in the custom inquiry. If you have artwork or a logo, include a link or send the file when we reply.

How far ahead should we order?

Contact us as soon as you know your date and estimated quantity. Lead time depends on the vessel, size of the order, personalization and current availability. Your quote confirms the production and shipping schedule before you commit.

What will the candles cost?

Pricing depends on your vessel, quantity, label, packaging and shipping requirements. Send an inquiry for a quote for your project; the form does not take payment.

Do you offer local pickup?

Local pickup in the Delray Beach area is available by arrangement. Shipping and pickup details are confirmed with your order.

A little of the day, kept

After the final burn, a cleaned vessel can become a place for rings, small keepsakes or everyday essentials. Read our candle and vessel care guide for looking after it.
