Bayberry Candles

Bayberry CandlesBayberry Candles

Real Bayberry wax candles or scented bayberry candles.  We offer both.

The basic difference is that Colonial Candle Bayberry Candles are made from a fine blend of waxes with the bayberry scent added. The authentic Bayberry Candles are made from Pure Bayberry Wax with a small amount of beeswax added for stability. No additional scent is added, which makes them 100% natural. The scent is subtle compared to the sometimes heavily scented candles that many are use to burning. In general, Scented means a scent is added to a wax blend and real or natural means the candle is made with bayberry wax with no additional scent or dye added.

Many times people are forced to settle for Bayberry Scented candles (which we also carry at 1/3 of the price), especially when approaching the holiday season. The Real Bayberry wax Hand-Dipped Bayberry Candles are Pure Bayberry Wax mixed with just a hint of beeswax to create that ideal holiday scene. 


Bayberry Wax is considered to be the rarest and most expensive of all the waxes. It is produced by harvesting and boiling the berries of the Bayberry Shrub. Used by Colonists, it has become a New England tradition to burn on winter nights in hopes of health and prosperity in the coming year.

If left in its raw form, bayberry is extremely brittle and will shatter like glass. We mix our bayberry with just the right blend of beeswax for an all natural, best burning experience. We hope that you make pure bayberry wax candles a family tradition for years to come.

Colonial Candle Of Cape Cod's Bayberry Story

Long ago, on historic Cape Cod, a heartwarming Christmas tradition was begun. Wild bayberries grew in abundance in thickets in the sandy woods along the North Atlantic coast. One inspired Cape Cod women, Mrs. Mabel Baker, picked these wild bayberries, boiled them in her kitchen, and lovingly made hand-dipped Bayberry Taper Candles to give as Christmas gifts to her friends and family. Cherished for their fine quality, smooth velvety appearance, and pleasing natural fragrance, these coveted candles became well known on the Cape.

The tradition of Bayberry Candles began 100 years ago, where the art and science of candle making were perfected, setting the gold standard in fine candles.

The Bayberry candles we present to you today will enhance your home with the warmth and cheer of the Holiday Season.

As folklore goes, To bring good luck for a year, they say, you must burn a Bayberry Candle on Christmas Day. And if the flame burns bright, and the light shines clear, then heaven will bless you all the year.

All our Bayberry Candles are Made in the USA with the highest standards.
