For the Candle Lover
Come explore a vast world of scents while creating your very own candle. The journey begins with your choice of a premium jar, which serves as the foundation for your unique creation. From that first selection, the magic truly begins as you dive into our curated collection of fragrance oils to find the ones that speak to you.
We walk you through every step of the process, from blending your signature scent to properly setting your wick. This is a full hands-on experience where you will learn the art of working with wood wicks and high-quality wax. From start to finish, you are the artisan, crafting a custom piece that brings the cozy crackle and glow of a handmade candle into your home.
Your Visit
Every experience at Southern Timeless Candles begins with selecting your custom candle package and discovering the scents that speak to you most.
Explore our fragrance library and blend your own signature scent while creating a luxury candle completely unique to you. From modern matte vessels to our elegant specialty jars, every experience is thoughtfully guided while still giving you full creative freedom.
Our Signature Tin Experience begins at $60 and includes three wood wick candles with your custom fragrance blend. Guests looking for an elevated vessel can choose our Smoky Mountain Journey package for $85 or our decorative Gatlinburg Glow collection for $95.
Looking for the ultimate fragrance experience? Pair your candle-making experience with a custom perfume or cologne creation starting at $100.
Once your fragrance is selected, you’ll prepare your wax, blend your scent, and hand-pour your candle under the guidance of one of our studio hosts. Because we use high-quality wax, candles typically require about 2 hours to cure before they are ready to take home.
During that time, guests often enjoy another one of our in-studio experiences, explore Gatlinburg, or relax nearby while their candle cures.
Please note: your reservation fee is applied toward your in-studio experience total at the time of your appointment. You are not prepaying for the full experience online.
As an intimate luxury studio, reservations are highly recommended to secure your station, though walk-ins are always welcome as space allows.
Sand Candle Creations
If you are looking for a creative “grab-and-go” option, stop in and design one of our signature sand candles. This quick and colorful experience ranges from $10–$20 and is perfect for guests looking for something fun, artistic, and easy to take home.
These vibrant granulated waxes come pre-fragranced with some of our favorite seasonal scents, so you can jump right into layering and designing your candle immediately.
Mix and match colors to create beautiful patterns and one-of-a-kind designs inside your chosen vessel. Because the wax is already set, there is no wait time for curing — your custom creation is ready to take home the moment you finish.
It’s a fun, fast, and creative way to capture a memory of your visit to Gatlinburg.
Calling All Bachelorettes!!
Celebrate the bride-to-be with an all-inclusive private experience designed for unforgettable memories in the heart of Gatlinburg. This immersive 2 to 3-hour luxury event offers your group a beautifully decorated private space where every detail is thoughtfully prepared for you.
Each guest will participate in a hands-on Candle Making Experience to create three signature wood-wick tins, along with a Signature Perfume Making Experience where they will design a completely custom fragrance blend. As a special celebration gift, the bride will receive a complimentary 30ml bottle of perfume tailored for her honeymoon.
To keep the celebration going, your experience also includes two fresh pizzas from Smoky Mountain Brewery, one gallon of tea, and one gallon of lemonade for the group. Please include your preferred pizza toppings in the notes section during booking so everything is fresh and ready upon your arrival.
Because this is a private curated event with limited availability, reservations require at least 1 week advance notice. Experiences are currently available Thursday through Sunday during select reservation times.
The Ultimate Bachelorette Experience is $145 per person and offers a seamless blend of creativity, celebration, dining, and luxury for your bridal getaway in the Smokies.
Celebrating something other than a bachelorette party? We are happy to customize this experience for birthdays, retirements, girls trips, baby showers, and other special occasions. Your group will still enjoy the private event space, themed decorations, food and drinks, and bundled experiences. We will also include the complimentary 30ml perfume or cologne for your guest of honor. Simply include your celebration details in the reservation notes and we will tailor the experience to fit your occasion.
