Hi! WE'RE BRIAN AND PAT.

Our story at Southern Spice Candle Company started with a sweet gesture from my wife, Pat. She surprised me with a candle-making kit after I mentioned a post I’d seen on FB about homemade candles to keep mosquitoes at bay. Living right next to a sprawling nature preserve, we’d been battling those pesky bugs for ages, so I thought, why not give it a try?

Well, let’s just say that first candle didn’t exactly turn out like I’d hoped. But what surprised me was how calming and enjoyable the whole process was. I was hooked! What started as a fun little project quickly became a passion.

WHY SOUTHERN SPICE?

I grew up surrounded by the charm of South Georgia’s Golden Isles, so the warmth of the South is in my bones. Pat, on the other hand, brings her own unique spark. Born in Colombia and raised in Queens, NY since she was 12, Pat’s got that perfect mix of city edge and vibrant spirit. When it came time to name our little venture, combining our backgrounds was a no-brainer: Southern for my roots, Spice for Pat’s flair.

Now, every soy-blend candle we create is crafted by hand, with love and a touch of that Southern spice. We pour our hearts into each one, hoping to share the warmth and joy we first discovered in that simple little candle-making kit. We can’t wait to send a bit of our story into your home, one flickering flame at a time.
