Our Story

Behind every CandleLux flame is a story of love, resilience, and light.
CandleLux was born out of healing, a deeply personal journey that began in the McBrayer home. Husband and wife team Lance and Tammi McBrayer had already spent nearly three decades creating beauty and connection through their salons. But in 2020, everything changed.
During the pandemic, Tammi faced a life-threatening health crisis that left her body hypersensitive to chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Even the simplest daily comforts became unsafe. Out of love and determination, Lance began hand-pouring candles in their kitchen using natural soy wax and pure essential oils... crafting light that healed rather than harmed.
What started as one man’s act of care soon became a shared mission — to create intentional, clean, and restorative self-care for others.
As Tammi healed, her vision shaped the essence of CandleLux: a space where wellness meets artistry, and luxury is defined by how it makes you feel. Lance’s creativity added nature’s touch, transforming each candle into something more than fragrance: a vessel of energy and beauty.
In 2022, the McBrayers launched The Candle Bar — an experiential studio where guests could blend, pour, and create their own candles with meaning. What began as a personal healing ritual became a gathering place for communities, couples, and companies to slow down, connect, and create something intentional together.
Today, CandleLux is more than a brand. It’s a living testament to the belief that even in our hardest seasons, light can emerge. Each candle is a story of love, renewal, and purpose — crafted to remind us that healing, beauty, and connection begin with intention.
