CLUTTER FURNISHINGS & INTERIORS: What drew you to the world of candles?
BRANDON & HEATHER: Over the past few years we had discussed the idea of starting a family business. Something that would give us the freedom to be both creative and entrepreneurial. We chose candles because they gave us the ability to start small and eventually grow into a larger business. We knew going in there were many candles on the market, but our family motto from the beginning has always been "You don't have to be first, you just have to be the best."
CF&I: How do you come up with your different scents?
B&H: Well, the selection available is overwhelming. We narrow it down by choosing the highest quality, and by customer reviews. We then test many samples and blends before finally selecting the perfect new fragrance for our line. Heather has a great group of friends that are more than happy to lend their noses and opinions.
CF&I: What is y'alls favorite SFF scent?
B&H: My [Brandon] favorite is the Georgia fragrance from our destination series. It reminds me of my mom's peach cobbler. That is one of the great things about candles and their ability to trigger memories. Heather's favorite is the Nashville scent. It was blended by her in our kitchen to pay homage to the city we love.
CF&I: What is your favorite thing about living in the south?
B&H: Bar-B-Que!!! You've got to love a food that causes at least five different states to argue over who has the best.
CF&I: What is your guilty pleasure?
B&H: (Brandon) Bar-B-Que; (Heather) Anything monogrammed!
CF&I: Describe Southern Fire Fly Candle Company in five words.
B&H: Quality, Classic, Style, Natural, Eco-friendly.
