Our Story

Behind every CandleLux flame is a story of love, resilience, and light.
CandleLux was born from a deeply personal journey of healing that began in the McBrayer home.
For nearly three decades, husband and wife team Lance and Tammi McBrayer created 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 clean soy wax and pure essential oils. He was not just creating candles. He was creating light that comforted, restored, and felt safe.
What began as an act of care quickly became a shared mission. Together, they set out to create intentional, clean, and restorative experiences for others.
As Tammi healed, her vision shaped the soul of CandleLux. A space where wellness meets artistry, and where luxury is defined not by excess, but by how it makes you feel.
Lance brought his creativity and connection to nature into every detail, transforming each candle into more than fragrance. Each piece became a vessel of energy, beauty, and intention.
In 2022, The McBrayers opened The Candle Bar, an experiential space where guests can blend, pour, and create their own candles with meaning.
What began as a personal healing ritual evolved into a place where communities gather, couples connect, and companies come together to create something intentional.
Today, CandleLux is more than a brand. It is a reflection of what is possible when care, creativity, and purpose come together.
Each candle is a reminder that even in life’s most difficult seasons, light can still emerge.
