Frequently Asked Questions

Delivery, returns, bespoke orders, candle care, and pricing.

Are your candles made with real soy wax?

Yes. All Maison de Lumière candles are made with soy wax, candle-safe fragrance oils, and cotton wicks. No paraffin.

Do you offer bespoke and event orders?

Yes. We offer bespoke candle bouquets, wedding favours, corporate gifts, baby shower favours, and pet keepsakes made to your brief. Share your occasion, quantity, date needed, colour palette, and budget to start.

How long does delivery take?

Ready-to-ship items are typically dispatched within 2 working days. Bespoke or personalised orders require additional preparation time — we will confirm lead times before production begins. For date-critical orders, always include your required-by date.

Can I collect locally?

Yes. Local collection is available from 52 Ormskirk Road, St Helens, WA10 2TF. Arrange a collection time through the contact form or by email.

Can I return personalised items?

Personalised and bespoke items are non-returnable unless they arrive damaged, faulty, or incorrect. Ready-made items can be returned within 14 days in unused, original condition.

What should I do if my order arrives damaged?

Contact us within 48 hours of delivery with your order number, a short description, and clear photos. We will resolve it as quickly as possible.

How should I care for my candle?

Trim the wick to around 5mm before each burn, allow a full melt pool on the first burn, and burn for no longer than four hours at a time. Stop burning when 10mm of wax remains. See our full candle care guide for more detail.

Do you handle large-quantity event orders?

Yes. We can produce larger quantities of favour candles and event pieces with sufficient lead time. Minimum quantities and lead times depend on the finish, size, and deadline — contact us to discuss.

Are product prices on this site current?

Yes. Product pages show the current catalogue prices. Bespoke bouquets and custom event orders are quoted individually after we confirm the quantity, finish, packaging, and deadline.
