The origins of the

Candle Collector

Celia Beyda, the founder of Candle Collector, started off as a wedding and event designer in 2018. Event after event, Celia found that her favorite design element, the candle, did not come in much variation. Your typical tapers and classic pillars were easily found at the market, but nothing that came in a unique shape or size. So Celia decided to try to produce such candles on her own. Straight out of her New York City apartment kitchen, she began to play with different waxes, scents, colors and shapes. Slowly but surely, she curated a line of unique and beautiful candles that seemed perfect for her events. What she didn’t realize was that not only did planners and decorators begin to show interest, but individual consumers as well. And thus, the Candle Collector was born.
