Happy Flame Candles?
Being small is our strength.
Happy Flame Candles was created by Anca and Peter Meredith. We started the firm in 2006... or we should say the “work” started in 2006. It took two years of testing and research to create the candles we are now so proud to offer.
We have worked together in different areas of business for over 20 years. Our decision to create the candles came after realising the health benefits the beeswax had on our children, who were asthmatics when they were young. We found that burning beeswax candles helped the children breath easier due to the ionization effects that helped clean the air. After trying so many candles, we realised that there was a need for beeswax candles made the traditional way, pure, no additives AND that burnt very well. “Burning well” means the flame is bright (Happy)- a flame that lights the room, not just ”wimps along”, barely shining any light. That is where our name came from-“Happy Flame Candles” - a need for bright, happy candle that burns a long time.
“Made by people not machines”.
We are “small batch” candle makers. That is, we can only make a limited number
of candles each month, as every candle is hand made:- hand poured to make
our solid candles or hand rolled for our honeycomb candles. NO machines,
because we know that if we take the time to create candles you will experience
truely beautiful high quality beeswax candles. You will also see it in how we hand
finish every candle- the tops and bottoms are melted (“finished”) smooth, and
every candle stands at 90 degrees so they don’t drip, and burn correstly.
It takes time, but worth it.
From the beautiful the Northern Rivers
We live and create our candles in Lismore, NSW, Australia.
This is a very special place in the world, with beautiful rain forests, AND the best
beaches in the world such as Byron Bay. (Not that we are bias :)
We are surrounded by amazing artists, creators and makers which helps us stay
true to our belief in creating beautiful, high quality candles at a fair price.
Our candles are hand-finished, top and bottom with wax covered wicks.
