Surprise your bridesmaids with a thoughtful and aesthetic dark academia-themed bridesmaid proposal gift box! They'll be all ready for a cozy evening of reading with this gorgeous set, which includes a custom "Will you be my ..." card that doubles as a bookmark, a black matchbox with white-tipped matches, and a literary-themed scented soy candle - the perfect way to express your appreciation with a delightfully bookish and memorable bridesmaid proposal.
You can choose to invite any member of your bridal party to be a part of your wedding day - simply choose the title you need from the menu. Your proposal question will be printed on a card beneath beautiful, vintage-style botanical artwork created by our resident artist, Sierra. If you need a title not listed here, just ask for it! We are happy to customize something for you, free of charge.
The gift boxes can be wrapped in simple black twine at no charge, or add a gift tag with their name written by hand on it for just a little more. If you choose to add a hand-lettered name tag, leave the names you need in the personalization box.

⚜️ Maple Leaves & Cider:
sunny blue skies, crunchy leaves underfoot, and chilled spiced cider of apple and pomegranate
⚜️ Beside a Dying Fire:

Candle burn time and dimensions: 4 oz. candle, approximately 20-hour burn/2.5"W, 2.5"H. The gift boxes measure 4"x4"x3". Each box of matches contains 14-15 matches.
- The first time you burn your new candle, let it burn until the wax melts all the way across the candle, around 2-3 hours. This will prevent tunneling (melting only down the center of the candle).
- Trim the wick to 1/4 inch (break off the burned part) each time the candle is lit. This helps prevent the flame from getting too large and helps your candle to last longer.
- Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans, and any air currents. This will help your candle to last longer.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep.
- Follow the 2-foot rule: don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable.
- Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time.
- Don’t burn a candle all the way down. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container.

All of our products are made by hand out of natural ingredients so variations are to be expected. Each and every product we make is carefully inspected before it leaves our shop. These variations do not affect the integrity of our goods and will not be considered defects or damages:
Candles + Wax Melts • Changes in temperature may cause "wet spots" on candles. This is a term used to describe a spot on a candle jar that looks as if water has seeped in between the wax and the jar. This is a natural occurrence that can happen when candles go through changes in temperature (going from an air-conditioned home/car to a hot, humid mailbox or vice versa). These "wet spots" do not affect the way your candles burn or smell in any way. Soy candles may discolor to a yellow or orange color when exposed to light. This does not affect the scent or use of your candle and is not considered a defect.
Room & Linen Sprays • Different fragrance combinations mixed with our clear linen spray base may cause them to darken over time. Most will stay completely clear, but they could end up anywhere from a light tan color to a rich brown. This in no way affects their beautiful scent or odor eliminating power!
Sending a gift? Make it personal by including a gift message with your gift, no charge. Just let me know what you'd like to say in the order notes box in your cart or in the personalization box in the listing. I'll print it out onto cardstock paper and include it with your gift.
If you'd like for me to ship your gifts directly to the recipient, just change the shipping address to theirs instead of yours. You'll need to place one separate order for each different address.
