Starting Ivy & Glow
After being married for less than a year, we realized we wanted to work together on something we were both passionate about, but didn’t know where to start. Little did we know, the path to opening a business together was ignited by a small spark in the luminous world of candle making. This opportunity just felt right since we love making & lighting candles as a hobby in our spare time, but also love experiencing new & fun things together. What better way to spend our time, but to gift experiences to our community. Our cozy home quickly transformed into a bustling workshop, filled with shelves stacked with wax, vessels, & an array of fragrances. Side by side, we worked diligently, pouring our hearts & souls into each candle we meticulously crafted & trialed. It didn't take long for our humble creations to captivate the senses of friends and family who urged us on & reassured us that we were onto something truly special. Our journey as a husband & wife team has taken an unexpected turn & lead us down a path where our love and entrepreneurial spirit intertwined harmoniously. Together, we had found our creative sanctuary, a place where our individual strengths complemented each other, and our shared vision pushed us to reach new heights. As the scent of success continues to waft through the air, we find ourselves forever grateful for the love that ignited this journey and the candles that illuminate our path. Together, hand in hand, we continue to conquer the world, one fragrant, glowing moment at a time.
Our goal at Ivy & Glow Candle Co. is to let our guest’s creativity Glow and to truly create a one-of-a-kind candle pouring experience with family & friends. We offer candle making in our candle studio in our home, but we also offer our services by traveling to guests, hoping to accommodate everyone in the most comfortable, relaxing, & unique way. We want our guests to discover the magic hidden within every flickering flame & the art of infusing scents that could transport one to distant memories & cherished spaces.

Meet Haley before Ivy & Glow
Haley is a nail technician & esthetician at a local day spa. She has always had a strong passion for art ever since she was a little girl, so it’s no secret that she would thrive at a business that is so heavily based on creativity & perfection. There were many times as a child that she would be passed out on a pile of papers, paints, markers & crayons after a long night of craft-making. Haley has also had a passion for home decor and has always had a dream of being an interior decorator. After thriving at wedding planning, she decided to help others plan their weddings, bridal showers & baby showers. She has helped stage houses in the past & spends a lot of her spare time decorating for every holiday in their beautiful new home. Haley’s strengths include the design portion of Ivy & Glow as well as the marketing & scheduling. She hand-designed the website, logo, business cards, and candle labels. But without her husband’s strengths & encouragement, Ivy & Glow would still just be a small thought.
