Bridgewater Candle Company Celebrates First Licensed Collection with Artist Signing

Bridgewater Candle Company is celebrating the launch of its first licensed artist collaboration with a Meet the Artist event during the upcoming Dallas and Atlanta Markets. The company partnered with artist Caroline Simas of Multiple Blessings on a new inspirational collection of candles, sachets and car fresheners featuring uplifting messages and whimsical artwork by Simas.

Bridgewater will hold a Meet the Artist event in its Dallas showroom on Friday, June 21st from 4:30 PM until 6:30 PM and in its Atlanta showroom on Saturday, July 13th from 3:00 PM until 5:00 PM. Simas will be signing the new Inspirations for Life Collection sachets for attendees while supplies last.

Based in Charlotte, N.C., Multiple Blessings by Caroline Simas is a licensed brand known for inspirational art and faith-based messages. Striking a popular chord in the gift and home accent industry, Multiple Blessings’ designs have flourished in the marketplace adorning everything from fabric and furniture to cups and stationery.

A married mother of four, Simas works out of a studio in her home where she garners inspiration from her strong faith and tight-knit family. Simas’ contagiously uplifting spirit and designs attracted Bridgewater Candle Company to pursue a partnership. With both brands built on the importance of family, faith and sharing blessings and hospitality through product design, a partnership was destined.

“Inspirations for Life™ is a beautiful collection with sweet reminders that life is a gift, and we are to treasure each day as a blessing,” said Simas. “My hope is that this collection will bring inspiration and joy to many.”

“I am so grateful to be partnering with Bridgewater Candle Company,” said Simas. “The company is incredibly passionate about giving back and blessing many through the sales of its products.”

The Inspirations for Life Collection features five uplifting fragrances: Blessed, Joy, Peace, Grace and Hope with accompanying messages of encouragement. Simas stamps the products in her signature whimsical style with playful birds, flowers and butterflies in fanciful colorations. The collection is available in a Tall Jar Candle, Candle Tin, Slim Sachet and Auto Vent Clip. The Tall Jar Candle is a part of Bridgewater’s Light a Candle Feed a Child program. For every Tall Jar Candle sold, Bridgewater makes a donation to feed an orphaned child for a day.

“This event will give existing and new Bridgewater Candle Company customers the chance to meet the gifted person and creative mastermind behind this exciting new collection,” said Lindsey Hughes, Bridgewater Candle Company’s public relations manager.

Established in 1998 in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Bridgewater Candle Company quickly became a leader in the candle market with a reputation for its clean burning candles, full fragranced products and passionate sales team. From fresh and clean to warm and cozy, Bridgewater Candle Company’s fragrances capture special moments in life worth savoring.

We are committed to sharing this warmth and hospitality with the world through our Light a Candle • Feed a Child™ program. Bridgewater donates a portion of each jar candle sale to Rice Bowls™, a non-profit whose mission is to feed orphaned children worldwide.

In the fall of 2011, Bridgewater employees, along with four Authorized Dealers, visited an orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti supported by Rice Bowls. The annual tradition continued in 2012, when Bridgewater invited four Authorized Dealers to go to Honduras to another Rice Bowls supported orphanage. Seeing the impact Light a Candle • Feed a Child is having on these sweet children first hand is truly an unforgettable blessing. Join us in experiencing the difference a jar candle can make.
