Bridesmaid Gifts featuring Sea Love Candle Bar in Freeport, ME
When it came to choosing gifts for my bridesmaids, I wanted something special that would truly reflect how much their support meant to me throughout the wedding planning process. I had seen so many different ideas for bridesmaid gifts, but I wanted something personal and lasting as well as unique to each friend. That’s when I stumbled upon the idea of custom candles from Sea Love in Freeport, ME. A date night venue that my husband Matt and I frequent. I knew right away it was the perfect choice. Everyone who works there is kind and wants to make it the best experience from start to end. They’ve helped us select the perfect scents to mix and we are such frequent clients that they feel like family. Not only were the candles beautiful, but they allowed me to create a gift for each of my bridesmaids that felt heartfelt and thoughtful.
What really drew me to Sea Love was the ability to personalize every aspect of the candles. I got to pick scents that matched each bridesmaid’s personality and reminisced on special moments in our relationships. For one of my bridesmaids who loves earthy scents, I chose a firewood and cedar blend, reflective of our camping memories. My maid of honor received a bright citrus candle that reflected her bubbly personality and how we call each other our “sunshine friends”. The best part was adding their names and a little thank-you message on the jars, making each gift truly one-of-a-kind. The custom labels (that my husband drew the pictures for) made the gifts feel so much more personal, and I could see how much my bridesmaids appreciated the effort from both of us.
I also loved that Sea Love emphasizes sustainability. It was important to me that our wedding be as eco-friendly as possible, and knowing that these candles were made from natural soy wax and packaged in environmentally friendly materials really aligned with our values. It felt great to give my bridesmaids something beautiful and luxurious, but also ethical and sustainable. Plus, the quality of the candles was fantastic—they burn evenly and last a long time, which means they’ll be able to enjoy them well after the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, I included the candles in personalized gift boxes for each of my bridesmaids. They looked so pretty sitting on top of the other little treats I had gathered, like handwritten notes, candle snuffers, and their favorite snacks. When my bridesmaids opened their gifts, they were so touched by the personal touches and the care that went into choosing something meaningful for each of them. It wasn’t just a wedding gift; it was a way to thank them for being part of such an important moment in my life.
Looking back, choosing personalized candles from Sea Love was one of the best decisions I made during the wedding planning process. The candles became a symbol of the thought and love I wanted to share with my bridesmaids, and every time they light them, I hope they’re reminded of the special memories we created together. It was a gift that felt personal and timeless—just like the friendships we celebrated on my wedding day.
You can create candles for any special moments life brings your way or just pop in for a date night with a bottle of bubbly as it’s BYOB!
