Our Story

More Than a Candle. A Moment Worth Remembering.

Holly Jablonski, Founder of Monarch Candle

In a world that never seems to slow down, we believe home should be more than just where you live; it should be where you reconnect.

At Monarch Candle, we create luxury home fragrances designed to transform everyday moments into meaningful rituals. Whether it's the quiet of an early morning, a favorite book at sunset, dinner with friends, or simply the comfort of ending a long day, we believe fragrance has the power to shape how a space feels and how a memory is made.

Every candle is thoughtfully crafted using our premium natural blend of soy, coconut, and apricot wax, paired with exceptional fragrance oils and clean-burning cotton wicks. We choose high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients because luxury should never come at the expense of quality or sustainability.

But what truly inspires us isn't what's inside the jar. It's what happens after you light it.

It's the deep breath before the day begins.

The conversation that lingers around the dinner table.

The peaceful evening spent with family.

The quiet moments that often become life's most meaningful memories.

Our story began in 2009 when founder Holly Jablonski opened Holly Candle Shoppe, a neighborhood destination in Downtown Holly, Michigan, built on a passion for exceptional candles, warm hospitality, and genuine customer relationships. What started as Your Neighborhood Candle Place quickly became a trusted shop where customers returned not only for beautifully crafted fragrances, but for the experience and personal connection that defined the brand. As our community grew, so did our vision.

Today, we are proud to introduce Monarch Candle, a brand created to reflect who we've become and where we're going. While our name has changed, our commitment remains the same: to create beautifully crafted products that elevate the everyday and make every home feel warm, welcoming, and unforgettable.

To us, luxury isn't about excess. It's about intention.

It's choosing quality over quantity.

It's slowing down long enough to appreciate the moments that matter most.

Welcome to a new era of luxury. Welcome to Monarch Candle. 

One beautiful moment at a time.
