PRODUCT INFORMATION
We make indoor candles, wax lanterns, and wax decorations.
These products are 100% handmade and some of them are made with:
- 85% high-quality paraffin wax, with an oil content of 0.5% or less (some products up to 1%),
and 12-15% of stearic acid; - or 100% high-quality paraffin wax (oil content 0.5%);
- or 100% of soy wax;
- and best quality WEDO wicks certified according to EN ISO 9001:2008 (candles)
Due to the use of different monitors and light effects, the actual colour of the item might be slightly different from the colour seen in the picture.
Because of the nature of handmade goods, the given size is approximate and may vary by 1-1.5 cm. Each product must be used according to its purpose and to the warning label attached to every product.
The time of burning is the specified ‘maximum time of a single burning (candles)’ written on the warning label, provided with every purchase.
You can check out all the warning labels here if happen to misplace or lose the copy we gave you with your purchase.

This card can be used for a partial purchase while the remaining balance stays until the next purchase or when it expires.
If a product is more expensive than the specific value of the gift card, a card owner can pay the balance.
If the value of the voucher is sufficient, it may also cover the shipping costs of the selected product.
The value of the card (all or part) cannot be withdrawn in cash.
GIFT CARD
A gift card can be valued at £10 or £15 and can be psychically purchased at one of the local markets we attend.
This is a physical product (handcrafted branded cardboard card) with a unique number and an expiration date (1 year from purchase).
The gift card can be used on our website shop or at local markets we attend.
This is a bearer card, which means whoever shows a gift card can use it.
To use that gift card, the receiver must tear off a glue strip for the unique code and apply it at the checkout on our website or give it to us when purchasing an item at a local market.
This card can be used for a partial purchase while the remaining balance stays until the next purchase or when it expires.
If a product is more expensive than the specific value of the gift card, a card owner can pay the balance.
If the value of the Gift Card is sufficient, it may also cover the shipping costs of the selected product.

COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS
On our website shop, you will also find complementary products available for purchase, to the main products made by us, that can be used alongside those main products e.g. long matches, or lighters (random colours).
REPAIR SERVICE
This is a local ‘DROP-COLLECT’ service unless the buyer will cover the cost of the postage (return and outgoing) along with the cost of repair service and the estimated cost of repairing first.
This service is only possible for products made by Floral Flames, that are accidentally damaged or were incorrectly used.
The repair service depends on the level of damage and it is available after the agreement of both sides, like the collection of the product or charges for the repair.
The repair service includes:
-refilling larger candles (1-2 kg) up to 3/4 of the candle;
-covering internally broken, large candles with organza;
-painting naturally faded dry flowers with coloured wax and more (please ask).
Some of the serious (but possibly to be repaired) damages may require prepayment (after agreement).
The order of repair service must be sent via email to candles@floralflames.co.uk and have your name, address, email address, mobile number, receipt (or other payment confirmation), a description of the problem and a picture of the damaged product (if possible).
We will send you a summary of your order with the order number, the cost of service and Bank details.
The cost of service can be paid via Bank Transfer if the repaired item is sent back via mail service or cash/card on the day of the scheduled collection.
Unpaid services result in no goods being released until the payment for repair service is made.
