Why hand painted candles are the perfect bridesmaid proposal gift

'Be My Bridesmaid?' Hand Painted Candles

One of the most exciting parts of planning a wedding is asking your closest friends to be by your side. Popping the question to your bridesmaids should feel just as thoughtful as the moment itself, which is why I love creating hand painted candles especially for this occasion.

So many brides-to-be tell me they want a gift that feels personal, something that shows their friends just how much they mean to them. That’s where a handmade candle comes in. Each one I paint in my Wiltshire studio is completely unique, and the detail makes it feel like more than just a present, it’s a keepsake of a very special “yes” moment.

I’ve created candles with floral designs to match wedding colours, greenery to reflect rustic themes, and simple elegant pairs that brides tuck into their bridesmaid proposal boxes. They’ve become such a popular choice because they’re not just pretty, they’re meaningful. A hand painted candle says, you’re important to me, and I couldn’t do this without you.

I’ve actually had customers share with me how well the candles have gone down as a way of asking "Be My Bridesmaid" and being so touched that it wasn’t just another off-the-shelf trinket.

It’s something that feels personal!

If you’re looking for a way to ask the all-important question, or you’d simply like a thoughtful way to thank your bridal party later on, my candle ranges are designed with these moments in mind. Handmade in Wiltshire, they’re unique, timeless, and always remembered long after the wedding day has passed.
