Create And Connect With DIY Candle Making Sessions In Tulsa

A person's sense of smell is closely linked to their memories, which is why candle making is sure to make for a memorable Valentine's Day date.

Wick & Flame Candle Bar offers a DIY candle-making experience for groups, couples, or as a solo creative outlet.

Trevor Liston and Basia Lopez opened the business in September 2023.

"We wanted to create a space that is very welcoming, cozy, and beautiful," said Lopez.

The husband-and-wife duo got the idea after a date night of their own.

"We actually went on a date in Florida and we did something like this and we kind of fell in love with it," said Lopez.

The DIY candle-making experience at Wick & Flame Candle Bar starts at the fragrance wall. There are more than 75 scents to choose from under categories like clean & fresh and musky & masculine. Once picked, the scents are mixed together to create a person's own unique blend.

"That is why our tagline is 'make a candle that is unique to you' because that is what the candles are - a unique fragrance blend that you personally love," said Lopez.

The next step is to pick out a candle vessel, set the wick, and then it is ready to pour.

"You mix the wax and the fragrance together, you pour it, and then you also get to put little pretty toppings on the top of your candle like dried flowers or the glitter," said Lopez.

The candle takes about two hours to set. Lopez said customers can pick it up by the end of the day or within 14 days.

"There is something about scents that makes things very memorable, so that is part of what makes it so special for people is now they have a fragrance and a memory to hold," said Lopez.
