Add Sparkle to Your Bridal Shower in NYC with DIY Candle Making
Why NYC Brides Are Choosing DIY Candle Making for Unforgettable Showers
The bridal landscape in New York has dramatically shifted away from predictable brunches at crowded restaurants. According to The Knot’s 2024 Survey, 78% of NYC brides now actively seek unique, non-traditional shower experiences that reflect their personality and create lasting memories for their wedding party.
Wick and Pour stands at the forefront of this evolution with our bridal-exclusive workshops that expertly blend candle crafting with quintessential NYC glamour. Our commitment to locally sourced soy wax has caught the attention of NY Weddings Magazine, positioning us as leaders in sustainable celebration options. Your bridal party can craft personalized keepsakes while enjoying skyline views from their Brooklyn studio.
The booming $5.8 billion candle industry thrives on personalization, perfectly aligning with the modern bride’s desire for meaningful favors. Wick and Pour’s monogrammed candles serve as functional mementos that your guests use rather than discard. Our zero-waste packaging appeals particularly to the 63% of millennials who consider sustainability a luxury feature, according to Forbes’ 2023 reporting.
With New York welcoming 56.7 million tourists annually, brides increasingly seek experiences that showcase authentic NYC culture to out-of-town guests, and creating custom-scented candles while overlooking the iconic skyline offers precisely the memorable, Instagram-worthy activity you crave for your pre-wedding celebrations.

Our popular BYOB policy adds another layer of customization to your celebration. Bridal parties love bringing prosecco or rosé to enhance the creative atmosphere.

Our Instagram-ready setups feature custom lighting and elegant tablescape designs that elevate simple candle pouring into photo-worthy moments.
Many brides extend their celebrations by partnering with The Williamsburg Hotel for rooftop after-parties, conveniently located just half a mile from the studio’s front door.
