This page is intended to aid you in the process of ordering a personalized candle. However, all personalized candles must be ordered over the phone (800) 238-8467. Prices and delivery times for personalized candles will differ from standard candles.

Pricing

A charge of $10 is added to any candle with an inlay, whether the inlay is a wedding invitation, photograph, or custom print. Only the medium and large candles can accommodate inlays. In addition to the inlay candles, plaque candles are now offered in all three sizes; small, medium or large candles. The plaques are an additional $5. Custom printing is also available for personalization of our candles at a $5 fee.

Custom candles always require full payment at time of order placement, before candle is made. Please allow 2-3 weeks for completion of these distinctive keepsakes. Allow one of our staff to assist you with your order...

Color

When ordering your personalized candle you can either choose from the colors on the color chart page, or you can specify your own color combination. If you choose to personalize your candle color combination be sure to notice that there are many layers of different colors for each color combination.

Inlay or Plaque

At right, an example of an inlay is shown. The personalized item is actually imbedded in the wax while the candle is being carved, and is a permanent addition to the candle.

Inlay candles are available in the large or medium sizes only. The shape of the inlay can be heart-shaped, oval, or adjusted to the contours of the item (such as a wedding invitation or photograph), which you provide. The size of the printed material on the inlay can be up to 4 ½ inches tall for the large size candle and 2 ½ inches tall for the medium candle, and a width of 2 ½ inches for either size candle.

The candle designs available for the inlay candle are either the Wedding with swans, bells, a cross and doves carved on the reverse side of the candle; or the Sweetheart design, with hearts carved on the reverse side.

Both the Wedding and the Sweetheart candles have the full, curled, Holland House Candle cut at the base that we are so well known for.

An example of a plaque is shown on the left. The plaque is added to the candle after the candle has been carved. The plaque is attached to the candle with pearl-headed pins, and a lovely bow is placed at the bottom of the plaque.

Plaques can be removed from candles if necessary. Plaque candles are available in all three candle sizes, large, medium or small. Plaques are always oval in shape, and are two inches wide in the center.

Because of the size restrictions of the plaque, they are most often custom printed by us. Plaques can be placed on Wedding, Sweetheart, or Sweetheart Flare styles.

Printing Options

Our custom printing usually includes the names and wedding date, but verses can also be added. If both a verse and names and date are desired, the name and date follows the verse. You can specify your own verse to be added to the candle, or choose from one of our “stock” verses below:

This day I will marry my friend; the one I laugh with, live for, dream with, Love.

The path to happiness is so narrow that two cannot walk on it unless they become one.

And now abideth Faith, Hope, Love all three and the greatest of these is Love.

Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust. Love still stands when all else has fallen.

Two lives, two hearts, joined together in friendship, united forever in Love.
