A Toast to our Sponsor - Dew on a Petal at Home

Vintage Indie & Eco-Chic Weddings would like to send a "toast" to our indie sponsor Dew on A Petal at Home . We are thrilled to have this fabulous indie company with us this month.

 

Dew on a Petal At Home provides beautiful handmade soy candles especially for your wedding.  After working with paraffin wax for many years, owner Marty  Vanslette stopped making candles for a time because paraffin was difficult to work with.  When she began reading about soy wax, she took her molds and supplies out of storage and decided to give it another try.  She was totally amazed with the creamy texture and superior properties of the soy wax so she began making a variety of candles as gifts before setting up shop on the internet.  Almost immediately, Marty began to receive requests to provide candles for weddings because she offered to customized orders and provided bulk pricing.  Brides have mainly requested unscented pillars, votives and tea lights, some with custom dyes to match the color scheme.

Who doesn’t love candles, especially at a wedding?   They have deep spiritual symbolism as the guiding light for two people beginning a new life together.  They testify to the solemn vows spoken during the ceremony and bring ambiance to the celebration..  We feel their presence from the subtle glow that gives the room a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Marty hand-pours each candle and has tested each candle extensively to ensure that they burn property.    Her candles are completely vegan, are long-lasting and burn clean. Soy is a completely renewable resource, so when the candle is gone, the container can be washed with hot soapy water and re-used.    In addition, she has a unique buy-back program and will repurchase unused wax to recycle into new candles.  What better way to make your wedding even more eco-friendly and guilt-free?
