Melissa Warnke


Creator and Owner

Melissa is the creator and owner of Melissa Warnke Candles, a candle company in Montgomery, Alabama. From a kitchen table side-business to an established business in the community, Melissa and her team of six now hand-pour and create fine-fragranced candles from their studio and retail storefront in Montgomery. They also create custom candles for other businesses, retailers, and organizations throughout the country. Melissa shares her love of candle-making with thousands of people each year through workshops, private candle-pouring parties, fundraisers, and special events.

With an eye for style, design, and gracious hospitality, Melissa loves the creative process as much as the relationships formed with customers, stockists, and vendors. Her spirit of enthusiasm and warmth matches the glow of her beautiful candles!
