Lemonade Stand - candle launch!
I have known Lee for over a decade now . . . we first met way back when I opened my retail shop Mango Reclaimed.. Lee had a vision in mind for a painted dresser . . . and, well, I had the go-to shop for all things painted!
Incase you’ve never seen it - Lee’s boutique shop The Lemonade Stand is incredibly beautiful! It is overflowing with a curated collection of home decor, gifts, clothing, and self-care. Ever a multi-passionate entrepreneur (just like myself, lol) - it’s no surprise that Lee has launched an every growing line of Lemonade Stand branded products. These products are all designed, created and produced by herself and her team with expert care and the highest quality standards.
I recently had the pleasure of styling and photographing her latest launch of apothecary style candles. And. They. Are. Beautiful!
Lee has a very particular aesthetic that she likes for her brand - it’s soft and warm while also being light and bright with a feminine nod.
After photographing this new candle line I developed a custom preset filter just for The Lemonade Stand that we can now apply to any future photo shoots. This ensures that her brand is represented with a cohesive vibe across all of her marketing. The best part about this is that we can continue to adjust and tweak this custom look for her brand as it evolves.
Take a look at these pretty candles and their delicious scents!
If I had to pick a favourite from this collection I think it would be the Smoked Vanilla and Whiskey, or maybe the Clean Cotton, ooooh or maybe the Sea Salt & Sage . . . seriously so hard to choose because they are all so good!
I also had fun creating some flat lay images for this product launch:
I really enjoyed the creative freedom of styling these - after a brief conversation with Lee and a few inspiration images from her, she gave me full creative liberty - and for that I’m super grateful!
This is really the best of both worlds because it lets both of us add our own personal touch in creating the final vision for the images.
More about these beautiful candles (because unfortunately you can’t smell them through your screen . . . . but almost!):
These hand poured Apothecary Style candles are 100% renewable and sustainable. Made with rich high quality fragrance & pure, eco-friendly soy wax, these candles have a clean and long lasting (approx. 40 hours) burn.
I can hardly believe we have know each other for a decade! Lee was with me from the early day of my retail studio - and I watched as she dipped her toes in and eventually jumped right into entrepreneurship herself.
Since that time we have become good friends with a genuine emphasis on encouraging and supporting each other in our entrepreneurial ventures and I’m grateful for her and all the other small business owners that continue to encourage and inspire me.
Lee recently wrote a lovely article about our history together which you can read here. In fact it was so lovely it made me cry . . .
I highly recommend you visit the Lemonade Stand and try out some of these new candles!
