At Lemon Canary, we love creating personalised and custom candles with beautiful arrangements of crystals, dried flowers and other embellishments. When made with love and intention this type of feature crystal candle is special, one-of-a-kind and amazing gift.
But a question we are occasionally asked about candles with crystals in them is…
“Is putting crystals and dried flowers on a candle legal?”
or…
“Is that safe?”
The short answer is… yes.
It is legal and a candle made correctly with crystals and dried flowers in this way is as safe as any other candle.
So why do some people spread untruths about beautifully decorated crystal candles? And why does some of this criticism come from amateur and professional candle makers?
Did you know that more than all other senses, scent is associated with memory?
The entire fragrance industry has been built on the emotional connections we have to scents and all of the memories that are evoked.
It is one of the major reasons why Chanel No. 5 has been the world’s top-selling perfume for 98 years. However, there is a major turning point within the beauty industry upon us.
The current clean beauty movement, one that used to be viewed as a niche trend in the past, has changed how beauty products are perceived.

It’s coming to that time of the year again when we show our appreciation for one of the most noble professions in our community… our children’s teachers.
My mum was a teacher, so I remember each year the pile of presents she would receive from her adoring students. She loved the gifts, but when the end of year haul came home there were few presents that really stood out. I didn’t mind… it was the many boxes of chocolate I was more interested in!Read More
Mr Blamire said, “Natural and organic product lovers might be shocked if they knew the truth about many of the beeswax products available today. Even when the beeswax comes from my own chemical free organic hives, I’m still very cautious and careful about the quality of the wax.”
So what could be wrong with such an incredible wax made by the honey bee, one of the most amazing creatures on planet earth? Is this beekeeper a vegan, animal loving eco warrior who won’t use or consume anything produced from or by an animal out of principle? We asked him, this is what he said, “No, I’m not vegan but I do think there’s a lot to be said for a plant based diet. And I’m not an animal activist… But I love bees and they’re in trouble. And when the bees are in trouble, we are in trouble”.Read More
Have you seen Lemon Canary’s crystal candles and organic body mists that incorporate crystals, stones and botanicals (dried flowers) into their designs?
You may not have realised but there is a beautiful message to be told by the crystals and botanicals that have been used in each one.
Many of the custom crystal candles we make are gifted to special people at important moments by loved ones. These gifts are beautiful, unique and one of a kind, but when you see crystals and botanicals used, there is often more to the gift than meets the eye.
We create custom and personalised candles with an intention in mind. That means we aim to add heart and meaning into every piece. Crystals and botanicals (dried flowers) help us do that in a really special way because every inclusion has it’s own meaning and intention.
The following list of crystals and botanicals is always changing. It mostly includes what we use in our world renowned intentional candle bowls that you can design yourself online.
We hope you find this information interesting and helpful especially if you are using our ‘custom and personalised’ candle making service and wanting to choose the perfect crystals to embellish your next Lemon Canary crystal candle. Crystals and botanicals allow a candle to speak a beautiful message and this list is designed to help you understand their language. Enjoy!
