The Hydrangea Candle

A whole bloom, not just a petal. A cluster of hand-sculpted lilac petals sits stacked atop a soft blush wax base, not a single flower so much as a full flower head, caught mid-bloom.

Where the Pressed Bloom candle uses one flat flower and the Waterlily uses a single sculpted bloom over gel, this one goes fuller — a dense, layered cluster of petals stacked the way an actual hydrangea head grows, in a soft lilac that sits just slightly deeper in tone than the blush wax underneath. It's the most sculptural of the flower-topped candles, closer to a small floral arrangement than a single stem.

Styling Tip: A centrepiece on its own, or one of ten in a full circle on a table, the kind of piece that photographs as well from above as it does lit.
