Lisa and Randall 
got married in Auckland
and kindly sent us this message:
"As promised please find attached a couple of photos from our Wedding with the beautiful candles you created for us.
I just wanted to let you know how absolutely happy we were with the
candles. We didn't really know what we wanted to start with, but with
your help created a concept that absolutely reflected the theme of our
wedding and the essence of us. The candles are devine and totally
exceeded our expectations. They looked amazing on the day and are a
tangible piece of the day that we can keep forever.
I would highly
recommend your services to anyone. Thank you so much!"

ERIN-RENEE'S NAMING CELEBRATION
These photos were kindly sent by Erin-Renee's parents to show us their special candle in use on the day.
Any such photos are very precious to us, as, quite literally, they bring our candles 'to light'.
The following message accompanied the photos:
Hope these two photos are ok. It was rather breezy on Sunday so
lighting the candle was a little bit of a mission but we got there! I
thought the candle looked just great and my sister proudly held it
through the ceremony. We had lots of wonderful comments on how
beautiful it was and where had we got it?!! Everything went really
well and we all had a great day.
Thankyou again for making the
occasion extra special. We have carefully wrapped the candle up again
and stored it away to show Erin-Renee one day.
Hopefully we'll be in touch in the future, needing another candle!
Until then, all the best.
Kind Regards,
Melany

"A CELEBRATION OF FRIENDSHIP"
What a party! On arrival, each guest lit their own personalised candle ('You light up my life") and placed it in different places around the room. This created a magical atmosphere. At the end of the evening, the candles were wrapped for guests to take home as a treasured reminder of the evening.
Daniela & Joachim's Wedding in Southern Germany
This candle was a creation for my dear friends in Germany, who enjoyed a fairytale wedding in glorious surroundings. Shades of orange and brown with silver was the colour theme throughout their stationery, flowers and decorations. A large selection of Coromandel sea shells, specially poured in these tones in wax, reminded the couple of their happy time spent in New Zealand.
These cube vessels embellished with cream roses, musical notes and fleur de lis created a warm soft light during Helen's French themed dinner party.
Simple but elegant pillars feature the same message on opposite sides of the candle, and together with fine gold wax bands set the tone at Diane's Birthday Party.
