We are so excited to share the tradition of bayberry candles with you this season!

Growing up in New Hampshire, my mom owned a small candle shop - I suppose I’m a 2nd generation candle purveyor of sorts! I remember my mom’s stories of customers who were so excited to find bayberry candles in her shop this time of year, and those who traveled far and wide specifically for these festive tapers to uphold the tradition of exchanging bayberry candles with friends.

Bring good fortune to your home and share well wishes with friends with our hand dipped bayberry candles this holiday!

Quick, casual, and virtually foolproof! What’s the secret to a five-minute tablescape?

Bud vases.

Stagger your bud vases with one or two flower varieties in each. Play with height and spacing, add candles as desired, and you’re done!

The Details

• Choose blooms with different textures, weights, and heights.

• Keep each bloom within the same range of color so that the group looks intentional.

• A variety of vase shapes will help lead the way. Ours are made for layering!

• Intersperse taper candles throughout to further marry your composition.

Why It Works

• Flexible and low pressure: When entertaining, you can move each element about as needed.

• Long-lasting: If one of your blooms outlasts another, you can swap stems without starting from scratch.

One More Thing: Candle Safety

If you’re using candles on your table, this is a must.

Always ensure your tapers are very snug in their holders. Especially with hand-dipped candles, there's bound to be some variation in circumference. That may mean you need to shave the base down a little. If the candle wobbles, use some TFS Candle Helper for extra insurance.

Spring flowers really are magical. Their subtle, tonal hues – dusty mauves and palest yellows – are like the best palette of highly custom, fancy paints. There’s a sophistication, a softness, that you just cannot get in other seasons.

From soft stem blooms to flowering branches, we rounded up some of our favorites. Bring this list to your florist and show us what you find!
