Shane and Erica Washington, high school sweethearts who tied the knot in 2018, have always shared a love for creating meaningful experiences together. Their journey from a young couple in love to entrepreneurs is a testament to their shared vision, passion, and dedication.
Erica has always had a deep love for candles, filling their home with warm, inviting scents that created a cozy atmosphere. Shane, ever the thoughtful partner, decided to make a special gift for Erica: a handmade candle. As he delved into the art of candle making, he discovered the harsh reality of toxins present in many commercial candles. As he began creating candles, he was determined to create a safe, high-quality candle that didn’t compromise on scent or burn quality.
Shortly after their wedding, Shane and Erica launched River Birch Candles. Named after the sturdy and resilient river birch tree, their brand symbolizes their commitment to quality and sustainability. Each candle is crafted with love and care, using clean ingredients to ensure a long-lasting burn with a rich fragrance.
