At Contemporary Candles we specialize in scented candles that fill your homes with fragrances offering a relaxing environment for you and your family. We take great pride in our creations as our candles are specifically poured and hand crafted for you every time you order from us. We see that our scented candles are infused with the required quantity of scents as compared to other candles sold in stores.
How It All Began?
We’re both deaf but communicating with us via e-mail, internet or fax is very easy and poses no issues. It was our love for candles that began as a hobby, but it was just a matter of time that it expanded into a full-fledged business. It is our dedication that has made our candles famous in the US. We spend a lot of time just testing everything like wax, wicks, scents and everything else that goes into our candles.
We both have divided our work according to our ‘specialties’. Dave looks after the pillar candles and crystal wax melts while Wendi sees to the container candles. We both share our duties when it comes to novelty candles and customized candles as we make them according to your specific requirements.
Since we learnt that commercially produced candles are made from paraffin wax, chemicals and petroleum-based synthetics, we wanted to make candles that do not compromise on your family’s health. On burning, such candles produce soot that is full of neurotoxins and carcinogens. Moreover, the wick used is made from metal.
All this convinced us to make healthier candles with soy wax and natural scents. One year after making scented candles with natural and organic materials we had an extensive customer base who cherish our products.
Contemporary Candles began as a home-based small business in Illinois. We began our project in 2009 with just a team of Dave and Wendi.

Our Candles
Contemporary Candles delivers just what candle lovers desire for. Our candles contain strong scents, burn clean and evenly and are long lasting using high quality and earth friendly ingredients.
Our candles are made with 100% soy wax, natural scents and wooden wicks that allow a melt pool due to which no wax gets wasted. A better scent throw is possible with a large melt pool. Our candles are drenched with fragrance and look as good as they smell. We have a large range of colors and scents for candles.
If you want candles in a specific color and scent, just let us know and we will customize candles accordingly. We have an economy collection too for people who prefer scents over looks as these candles feature simple jars or jelly jars with a unique country look.
