Where Have You Seen Our Candles Before?
Lighting the Way Through Recognition
From local festivals to features in print and on screen, Begonia & Bench has earned accolades for our unique candles and eco-conscious mission. Here’s a look at the moments that have made us proud.
Local Roots
Festival Favorite Awards: Recognized as Festival Favorite at both the StoneArch Bridge Festival and the Loring Park Art Festival, celebrating our creativity and connection with the community.
News Features: Showcased on local news segments, highlighting our story and the thoughtful craftsmanship behind our candles.
Gold Level Green Business Award: Presented by Sustainable Stillwater, honoring our dedication to eco-friendly practices, from sustainable wax blends to tree planting.
Minnesota Monthly: Featured for our beloved Cozy Campfire Candle, a local favorite known for its nostalgic, heartwarming scent.
National recognition
As a tiny team crafting candles from our small studio in Minnesota, we were both thrilled and surprised to find ourselves featured in Woman’s Day. To this day, we’re not sure how they stumbled across us—but we couldn’t be more honored to have caught their attention.
A big thank you to the writers at Woman’s Day for shining a light on our little corner of the candle world—you made our day (and then some)!
