The Candle

 

 

Perfectly minimalist packaging aside, each candle is made using the utmost in skilled craftsmanship. It’s the personal touch and the delicate process that brings The Wedding Candle by Jenny McCarthy to life straight from the purchasing experience. This crisp white keepsake is presented to each recipient in a gift bag, which Jenny was insistent on including as it symbolises the act of giving a gift to yourself or someone special to you.

 

 

Upon opening, the first noticeable difference is its cylinder box, which mirrors that of the wedding ring. It is a circle which never ends and continues for eternity. The sprayed cylinder glass jar and candle wax are both bridal white, something Jenny spent weeks developing with sample upon sample tweaked to perfection.

 

 

The candle is topped with a weighted silver lid, which can be engraved at any jewellery store to add a special date or name. Each time you lift the lid, the clean, fresh and invigorating Lime & Basil aroma will engulf the room and bring back memories of your special day when it hits the tip of your nose. The scent is something Jenny worked hard to perfect and ensured it fit within her concept; for it to be something fresh, something soft and something calming. It’s a scent that lingers and drifts through your home without being overpowering, while bringing a sense of calm as soon as you walk through the door.
