Proudly Local. 🇨🇦 Handcrafted in Atlantic Canada.

Hi, I’m Lauren, founder and maker behind Burning Flame Candle Company.

Made in Halifax. Loved Everywhere.

All of our candles are:

- Hand-crafted locally in Halifax, Nova Scotia

- Made from 100% natural soy wax — cleaner, longer burning, and eco-friendly

- Best-smelling candles you will ever own

My story starts with the incredibly resilient women in my family.

My grandmother, Mary, worked long days as a waitress back in the 60's, at the Lord Nelson Hotel in Halifax. She saved every penny and became one of the first women in Nova Scotia to hold her own liquor license, running a Bed and Breakfast in Hubbards long before women were allowed to hold professional licenses of any kind. Her ambition shaped everything I believed possible.

My mom carried that pioneering spirit forward with her own craft business. From the day I was born, she brought me to craft fairs across Nova Scotia and the Maritimes, showing me the value of community, creativity, and making things by hand.

Their legacy is the foundation of everything I do. It taught me that creativity isn’t just something you’re born with, it’s something you can build a career and life around. 

From Kitchen Counter to Major Retail Shelves Across Atlantic Canada

In 2020, I began making candles in my kitchen, at a time when the future felt unpredictable and I was searching for purpose. What started as a creative outlet quickly turned into something much bigger. A continuation of my family’s tradition of craft and hospitality.

I’d love to hear from you! Whether that’s about a wholesale partnership, a creative collaboration, or just to say hello.
