Welcome to Candles by Design

... specialists in exquisite personalised candles for any occasion

Personalised candles provide you, or the recipient of your gift, with a unique and treasured reminder of your special day for years to come ...

In the European tradition of candle decorating, Candles by Design takes great pride in offering you our unique, individually hand-decorated candles. Suitable for a wide range of occasions, they are embellished with ornaments and lettering crafted in wax in our studio in Auckland. In addition, we provide candles featuring your own photographs, logos, crests and typeset text, from one to hundreds in numbers.

A tradition of excellence ...

The business has been formed around the skills and experience of the owner, Brigitte Oberndorfner. All candles are created with a passion for style, quality and perfection. Whether traditional, romantic or contemporary in form and colour, every care is taken to meet your personal requirements. Please click here to learn more about Brigitte and Candles by Design. 

We decorate all candles to order, and therefore recommend you contact us well in advance of when you need your candle. However, we always try to accommodate urgent requests - contact us now to discuss your ideas and requirements. Some designs without personalisation have been added to the catalogue and these are available at short notice.

My candle has arrived today and can I just say that it is beautiful!
I am so impressed with what you have done, the colour, the flourishes that match my invitations, all of it is so amazing!
I have been showing off to all my work colleagues and they are all impressed also!
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you, dealing with so many different vendors during this whole wedding process has sometimes been quite stressful, but you have been great at keeping me informed and up to date, and most importantly, deliver on your promises and far exceeded my expectations - which are pretty high to begin with!
I don't think I can gush enough about how happy I am - thank you.

Thanks again for the fantastic and efficient job!

"Thank you sincerely for the candles.  Hayley is so happy with the candles and I admit they are more beautiful than the internet photos depict.  They arrived safe and sound - great packaging.  Thank you once again Brigitte and we will certainly recommend your company in the future. ...
Regards
