Welcome to Bright Sun Candles. We create
candles of excellent quality and ingredients, that are
also naturally-beautiful and environmentally
friendly.
Bright Sun Candles are
hand-poured in St. Paul, Minnesota from the wax of
American-grown soybeans. Our candles are scented
with only essential oils. We use no artificial
scents and no dyes or artificial colors. Like all
soy wax candles, our candles are clean &
long-burning and made from a natural wax that is a
renewable resource.
We invite you to
experience the natural beauty of Bright Sun
Candles.
Sincerely,
|

Wedding Favors
Studies say that
almost 1 million couples got engaged during the
holiday season. On their special day, many couples
are looking for a unique, green gift to give their
guests as a wedding favor. Soy candles are a
wonderful option.
At Bright Sun
Candles, we have worked with many brides and
grooms to design the perfect favor or wedding
candle.
Here are a couple of
examples:
Table Candles: Soy
candles are a great addition to tables at the
reception. Soy candles burn long and clean,
allowing the gentle light to set the mood for your
special night. Soy candles are allergy friendly
and can be made fragrance free, which is sometimes
required in wedding event spaces.
Personalized Favors:
The symbol of a candle is a popular one at
weddings. Bright Sun Candles will personalize
your own label for your
wedding. Guests love these personalized,
portable and long lasting favors. Every time they
light this candle, they'll remember this special
day.
Contact Bright Sun Candles for more
information on styles, quantities and
pricing.

Tip
Little
things we do can make a big impact on the
environment.
Dry
cleaning is hard on the environment and expensive.
Is it a necessary evil? Not
necessarily! A few tips below should have
you clean delicate items at home, saving time,
money and impact on the environment.
Go
over the garment with a soft brush or a microfiber
cloth before storing it. This will remove dust and
surface dirt.
*
If the garment is wrinkled and not terribly dirty,
use a garment steamer. They smooth rumples and
wrinkles with ease and heat up the fabric, killing
off germs. (Let garments cool and dry completely
before wearing.)
*
Hand wash wool and silk sweaters and simple,
unlined garments, but don't clean structured
garments (anything with a lining and shoulder
pads) with water, as it may distort their
shape.
*
To freshen a garment, use booze! Fill a spray
bottle with cheap vodka (not rubbing alcohol; it
has additives). Spritz your garment, concentrating
on areas where perspiration has collected. The
alcohol kills the bacteria that cause odor, then
dries quickly.
Very
stained or soiled clothing may need the attention
of a professional dry cleaner. For the sake of the
environment and your clothing, choose a cleaner
that uses the pressurized CO2 process; they
usually advertise themselves as "green" or
"organic" cleaners, but be sure to ask about their
process because these labels are unregulated.
Almost all others use perchloroethylene, a
neurotoxin and respiratory, skin and eye irritant
that the EPA deems a "probable human carcinogen."
Plus, according to the EPA, it breaks down into
other chemicals that contaminate air and
groundwater, and deplete the ozone
layer.
