Our Founders: Shane and Erica Washington

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.

The Spark of Inspiration

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.

The Birth of River Birch Candles

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.

Growing Beyond Expectations

As River Birch Candles gained popularity, Shane and Erica received numerous requests from businesses wanting custom candles branded with their own logos and designs. Recognizing an opportunity to expand their passion and expertise, they decided to offer private label services. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction quickly made River Birch Candles the largest private label candle company in Texas.
