About this Experience
What you'll do:
You'll walk into Beach Glow's boutique studio in Belleair Bluffs and leave 90 minutes later holding a candle that has never existed before and never will again because every single detail of it is yours.
Choose your vessel – Pick the container that fits your vibe, from minimalist to coastal, before anything else gets poured.
Blend your signature scent – Work with a Beach Glow Waxologist to mix your custom fragrance from a menu of 84 premium oils, your nose leads, they guide.
Select your colorant – Choose the color that matches your aesthetic, your mood, or the person you're gifting it to.
Sip and shop while you wait – Enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks while your candle cures, and browse the boutique with 15% off everything in store.
Pick it up or ship it home – Your finished candle is ready for pickup the next day, or Beach Glow will ship it directly to you.
The whole experience runs about 90 minutes and feels more like a creative hangout than a class. Beach Glow keeps your exact recipe on file permanently, so you can reorder your candle anytime without starting from scratch.
Why we love it for your group:
Over 1 million scent combinations – No two people at your table will leave with the same candle, which makes this genuinely better for groups than most hands-on activities.
Expert Waxologists on hand – You're not guessing, a specialist walks you through every blending decision so even total beginners feel confident.
Complimentary snacks and drinks – The extras are included, not an add-on, so your group can relax and enjoy the full experience from the moment you walk in.
15% off in-store shopping – Your group gets exclusive access to the full Beach Glow product line at a discount during your visit.
Recipe saved forever – Beach Glow stores your formula on file indefinitely, so every guest can reorder their exact candle whenever they want.
About this experience partner:
Beach Glow Bath + Body + Home is a handcrafted boutique studio in Belleair Bluffs, Florida, founded by husband and wife team Paul and Michele. They make every product in-house using clean, premium ingredients from small-batch bar soaps to luxury body butters, and their candle-making class is a direct extension of that same craft-first ethos. Guests consistently return not just for the candle, but for the rare combination of a genuinely skilled host and a space that feels personal rather than commercial.
