New Faces, Same Smells!

Hi there! We are the Wegmann family and the new owners of Home Nest Candles!
While our entire family has a role in Home Nest Candles, Sara and Lauren are now the main faces behind the candles you know and love!
Back in 2023, Sara sold Alivia and her husband Brett's house in Reinbeck, IA. From her first step in their home, she smelled the magic of Home Nest Candles and was hooked ever since.
Over the years, our family has been loyal Home Nest Candle enthusiasts! There is always a candle burning in our home and it's typically our "go-to gift" for loved ones.
Now, Home Nest Candles is based out of Grundy Center, IA and we are proud to be small-town, midwest-made.
We are so excited to continue selling our signature and best-selling candle collections, and even bring some new smells and creative products your way!

Our History

What started as a passion project for our previous owner, Alivia, has become a best-selling and beloved candle company for families across the midwest and beyond!
Home Nest Candles was originally established as a creative outlet for Alivia which quickly became a way to connect with others and bring peace and comfort into their homes.
We are beyond excited to continue building on the legacy that Alivia has established for Home Nest Candles.
You can expect to receive the same quality, smells, and customer service that Home Nest Candles has been known for since day one.
We cannot wait for you to light your next Home Nest Candle! Stay tuned, we have BIG plans for Home Nest Candles!
With love and light,
The Wegmanns
