How the Rental Process Really Works
From wax to wedding and back again — here’s what happens behind the scenes at Ethereal Candle Crafters.
Step 1: Wax Preparation
We begin with either previously returned candles or a fresh wax batch, depending on our current stock. All wax is melted down and checked for consistency in texture, color, and fragrance integrity to ensure it's reusable for high-quality remoulding.
Step 2: Scheduled Pouring & Manufacturing
Candles are poured in structured manufacturing slots based on our production calendar. This schedule ensures efficiency — and is why we require orders at least 15 working days in advance. Rush orders may incur a fee to accommodate restructured timelines.
Step 3: Quality Control
Once cooled and demoulded, candles are trimmed, smoothed, and thoroughly inspected for imperfections like air bubbles, cracks, or discoloration. Only candles meeting our aesthetic and functional standards move forward.
Step 4: Packing & Dispatch
Candles are carefully packed — either for studio collection or nationwide courier delivery. Each candle is wrapped to protect it during transport, ensuring your order arrives beautifully intact.
Step 5: Client Receipt & Check
Brides or event planners receive their candles and confirm all items are present and undamaged. If there’s an issue, we act fast to correct it.
Step 6: Burn at Your Event
Time to light up the magic! Our candles are designed for long, slow burns. With a burn allowance of up to 20% weight loss, your candles will glow beautifully for 12+ hours without going beyond what the rental covers.
Step 7: Return the Candles
After your event, simply return the used candles — either via courier or in person. Be sure to include your name and quote number for efficient check-in.
Step 8: Final Check & Weigh-In
Once returned, candles are counted, weighed, and checked. If more than 20% of the candle’s weight is missing, or if candles are unreturned, a loss fee will be added to your quote.
