Hottest Wedding Trend is going green



Press Release Body =
LOWDEN, IA U.S.A. - August 28, 2007 - Around the nation wedding planners are being
asked about green weddings. From pesticide free menus, china and fine linens
(rather than throw aways), to the vegan safe and natural soy wax candle; the theme
is to go green! Molly Cook, owner of M.A. Cook Designs is going green for her
daughters wedding, offering The Flame Candleworks soy wax pillars. "I am so excited
to be using your product for our special day."
"It's exploding" said Lisa Barkley, president of The Flame Candleworks Company. "We
have seen a 30% increase in wedding candle sales over the last year." "We expect
more consumers to make the move to eco-friendly candles as well."
Greatest Business Opportunity of the 21st Century
Retailers across the nation are riding this hot trend as well, making more space for
the soy wax candle on their shelves, and moving the paraffin candle aside. "Finally
people understand what a soy wax candle is and that they do have choices that are
safe." Said Brenda Kaiser, independent representative for The Flame Candleworks.
Farcountries.com, one of the #1 online wholesale buying websites in the gift and
home décor industry, is committed to quality, efficiency and choice, offering the
complete line of The Flame Candleworks soy wax candles and bath and body line.
"I absolutely love your candles," said Carole Voorhis, long time customer, "they are
the best smelling and best burning candles I have ever purchased." "Consumers have
told us that our products are second to none." Stated Linda Myers, shipping and
receiving manager at The Flame Candleworks. "When I first started this business,
I can't tell you how many times I had to explain what a soy candle was," explained
Lisa Barkley, president, The Flame Candleworks, "retailers were reluctant to
purchase these candles for their stores, they just didn't think they would really
catch on, we continually kept educating store owners across the nation about soy wax
and now this industry is on the verge of huge growth."
The Greenest Gift for the Holidays
Retailers are gearing up for the best selling time of the year; and they know candle
sales are a huge gift giving item for the holidays. Eco-friendly soy wax candles
will be a top selling gift giving item this season, and retailers agree there is
green to be made by going green. Consumers are willing to spend a bit more on
eco-friendly products in order to help our environment. Environmentally friendly
products will be the key items being purchased in the years to come; to build homes,
operate businesses, decorate homes and offices, organic food, organic clothing, and
hi-bred automobiles.

Founded in 2000, The Flame Candleworks is one of the first soy wax candle
manufacturers in the country. The company offers a wide range of products and
services for small and large retailers. They offer fund raising plans, private
