Frequently asked questions
Why do we use wood wicks?
1. Wooden wicks stand nice and tall throughout the burning process, so you’ll never have the trouble of fishing around for your wick in the melted wax.
2. They also burn more slowly and evenly, with a wider, lower flame and excellent scent throw.
3. Wood wicks don’t “mushroom.”
4. They provide minimal carbon, soot, and debris build up.
5. Wooden wicks are more sustainable than cotton wicks, as thousands of wicks can be found in a single tree.
BUT MOST OF ALL we LOVE the sound of that glorious crackling.
When lit, they provide an enchanting crackling sound reminiscent of a fireplace. The crackling is very low and constant, allowing the candle to engage not only your olfactory and visual senses, but also your aural, reiterating Wood & Willow’s objective to ensuring each product gives or enriches an experience.
How long do these candles last?
If care instructions are followed & your new candle is properly burned, you could get 7-9 hours of burn time per ounce of soy wax. Please refer to our candle Candle Care section for tips on how to prolong the life of your new luxury candle by 25%.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Due to the custom nature of the item, we do not accept returns, exchanges, or requests for alterations after delivery.

Do you send photos before you ship items?
Due to the high volume of orders that we create and ship every day we are unable to guarantee photos or create mock-ups before production and shipment on every single order. However, we will often times reach out for approval on a design prior to the final placement. We do ask that you keep an eye on your email while your candle is being created in case we reach out for design feedback.
We sometimes share sneak peeks of customer items on our Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/woodandwillow.candleco/
