CSI Wedding Orders · New Jar, Fragrance and Colour
Three new variables leave only your wax proven. Here is the minimum test matrix that proves the rest without testing every combination, the calendar it really takes, and how to answer a wedding date that is closer than the proof.
day 34
earliest hand-over for an all-new wedding candle on the worked plan · CSI live pricing, October 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Is a new jar, new fragrance and new colour a new product? Yes. Each changes how the candle burns, smells or looks, and together they interact: the jar sets the wick, the oil sets the load and can move the wick, and the dye can tint differently with the oil in it. Nothing from your proven candle carries over except the wax.What is the minimum test? Not every combination. A plus-shaped matrix of 13 candles in the new jar (load arm, wick arm, dye arm with an undyed twin) replaces the 54 of a full factorial, then 5 confirmation candles burned to the end. CSI materials: ₹5,343.00.
How long does it take? On our worked example, hand-over is day 34 from the enquiry, for 250 favours. Cure and full-life burns set that, not the number of variables. A failed final third adds about 11 days.
Should I accept the deadline? Only if the wedding hand-over is at least day 34 away, ideally day 36. At day 30, decline the all-new candle and offer the new colour in your proven jar and fragrance (hand-over day 27), or put the colour on the packaging (day 12).
The short answer
Treat it as: a new product. Three new variables means a new formula: wick, load, colour and heat must all be proven in the new jar, on the full life of the candle.
The settling number: day 34 from the enquiry is the earliest hand-over for an all-new wedding candle on this plan; colour-only is day 27; packaging-only is day 12.
The matrix: C2 at 6/8/10%, C1 and Cotton Braided at 8%, a dye arm (undyed, low, high), 13 candles; then 5 at the chosen settings: two full-life burns, the bride's sample, a dark retain and a window-light candle.
Protect it: colour approved in wax and in the jar, in daylight, in writing; any change after day 22 moves the date; an advance that covers the jars, oil and dye you would not otherwise use (about ₹42,930.00).
In this guide
The minimum matrix for a new jar, oil and colour. Phase 1 tests along a plus shape on the load-by-wick grid (two candles per black cell), with a dye arm on the centre settings, so each variable is varied while the others hold still. Dashed cells are combinations you skip. Phase 2 repeats only the chosen combination, five times, for the full-life burns, the bride's sample, a retain and a light check.

Straight answer
A wedding client wants a completely new jar, fragrance and colour combination. Should I treat this as a new product requiring full testing before accepting the deadline?
Yes. With a new jar, a new oil and a new dye, the only proven part left is the wax, so the candle is a new formula and must earn its approval the same way your first product did: wick and load proven in the new jar, the shade approved in wax with the fragrance in it, and the finished candle burned to the end. You do not need every combination. A plus-shaped matrix of 13 candles (C2 at 6, 8 and 10%; C1 and Cotton Braided at 8%; an undyed, a low and a high dye dose) isolates each variable, and 5 confirmation candles prove the chosen one. On our worked example of 250 favours that is hand-over on day 34 from the enquiry and ₹5,343.00 of CSI materials. Accept the deadline only if the wedding hand-over is at least day 34 away; if it is closer (day 30 in the example), offer the new colour in your proven jar and fragrance (day 27) or a wedding label, ribbon or box on your proven candle (day 12).
One line: three new variables is a new product; a 13-candle matrix and 5 full-life confirmations prove it, and the calendar, not the bench, decides whether the wedding date fits.

Why three new variables make a new formula
One new variable is a change. Three at once is a different candle that happens to use your wax.
The title gives no numbers, so here is a labelled worked example. The order: 250 wedding favours, each a 150 g candle at 8% fragrance on total weight (12 g oil + 138 g wax), needed by day 30 from the enquiry. Your proven candle: Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 in a different jar, a different oil and no dye. What the bride wants: the Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid (150 gram), Japanese Cherry Blossom and a blush-pink colour. All three are new to you.
What each new variable can change · and what tests it
Tendencies, not certainties · every effect is confirmed only by your own candles
| New variable | What it can change | What tests it |
|---|---|---|
| Jar (7 cm outer, page states no inside diameter) | Melt-pool width and depth, wick size, glass heat in the final third, real fill weight | Weighed test pour; wick arm; full-life burn |
| Oil (Japanese Cherry Blossom) | Throw at each load, flame size, soot or mushrooming, how the wick behaves, colour of the wax | Load arm; full-life burn; dye arm |
| Colour (red dye at a low dose) | Shade with the oil in it, change under light, and at heavy doses the burn | Dye arm with an undyed twin; window candle |
| All three together | Interactions: the oil tints the dye, the dye and oil both load the wick, the jar sets the heat | The centre cell and the phase 2 full-life burns |
The danger of three changes at once is not only that something may fail. It is that when it does, you cannot tell which change caused it. A candle that soots in the new jar could be the jar (wick too big for its diameter), the oil (heavy at 10%) or the dye. The matrix below is built so that each failure points at one variable (how to find which of two changes caused a failure).
Ask what is really fixed
Brides often care most about one of the three. If the colour is the point and the jar is "something pretty", offering your proven jar removes the wick question entirely. Ask before you test anything; the intake questions are in the client-questions post.The minimum test matrix
Not every combination. Every variable, once, against a fixed centre.
A full factorial (three wicks × three loads × three dye doses, two candles each) is 54 candles and teaches you little more. The plus-shaped design holds a centre (C2, 8%, middle dye dose) and moves one variable at a time away from it, cutting 76% of the candles. It assumes the variables do not interact strongly at the edges; the phase 2 full-life burns are where that assumption is checked.
Phase 1 · 13 candles in the new jar · poured day 5
150 g fill (confirm with your test pour) · Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 at 80°C–85°C · dye doses are your own ladder (CSI publishes none) · oil grams declared
| Arm | Settings | Candles | Oil each | What it answers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Centre | C2 · 8% · middle dye dose | 2 | 12 g | The reference every arm is compared against |
| Load arm | C2 · 6% and 10% · middle dose | 2 + 2 | 9 g and 15 g | Which load gives the throw the bride wants without sweating or soot |
| Wick arm | C1 and Cotton Braided · 8% · middle dose | 2 + 2 | 12 g | Whether C2 is too big, right or too small for this jar |
| Dye arm | C2 · 8% · undyed, low and high dose | 1 + 1 + 1 | 12 g | The shade range for the bride, and whether dye changes the burn |
| Total | 13 | 156 g |
Three rules make the matrix trustworthy. Every candle goes in the new jar, never a spare jar. Every candle carries the middle dye dose except the dye arm, because dye is part of the formula the bride will receive. Every candle is coded, so the person judging throw does not know which is which. The load arm stops at 10%: Japanese Cherry Blossom's page states "6-13% for candles", but CSI 464 states up to 10%, and the lower of the two ceilings governs. If you read that 10% on wax weight rather than total weight, make the top rung 9%.
Colour: approved in wax, in the jar, in daylight
The dye arm doubles as the bride's colour swatch. Liquid dye in a bottle, and a photo on a phone, both look different from a set soy candle behind glass. CSI's Red liquid page says red "tends to produce lighter to medium shades of red" in soy, and in the text we captured it states no dosage, so the low, middle and high doses are your own ladder. A worked example is 1, 2 and 4 drops per 100 g of wax from one dropper, but weigh the approved dose in grams for production. Repeating that shade across batches is the repeatable dye formula post; how much wax and dye to allow for colour trials is the colour-trial post.
Mistake: approving the colour from unscented wax pucks, then adding the fragrance in production. Why it fails: many fragrance oils carry their own colour, and some darken over time or in light; the shade the bride approved is not the shade she receives. Fix: every colour sample carries the oil at the chosen load. Phase 2 adds a window candle next to a dark retain, checked at day 7 and day 14 of light, so you see any shift before the wedding, not after.
Heat: the jar's stated figure and the final third
The jar page states "Safe for hot pour up to 85°C", which is a pour limit, not a burn rating. CSI 464's page states "Pour Temperature 80°C – 90°C", so pour at 80°C–85°C in this jar. Burn heat is judged in the final third of the full-life burns: flame height, pool depth, soot, and the glass, judged by eye or a non-contact thermometer (CSI lists none), never by touch. What else changes when only a jar changes is the jar-change retest post.
The test calendar, day by day
Thirteen candles take an afternoon. Proving them takes most of a month.
Day 1 is a worked-example Monday; Sundays are off for bench work, while cure carries on. Transit and the bride's reply times are labelled worked examples: CSI publishes no transit times, so confirm dispatch on WhatsApp. The burn life (30 hours) is a worked example for a 150 g candle; measure yours on the phase 2 candles.

| Day | What happens | Who sets the pace |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 (Mon) | Treat as a new product; quote conditionally; order the development kit | You |
| Day 4 (Thu) | Kit in (worked example; confirm dispatch on WhatsApp); inspect jars; weighed test pour to the fill line; record the real fill | Bench |

| Day 8 (Mon) | Bride approves the shade from the dye-arm candles, in daylight, in the jar: in writing | Client |
| Days 9 and 12 | Hot-throw and burn sessions at cure day 4 and day 7; pick wick and load | Calendar + bench |
| Day 12 (Fri) | Phase 2: 5 candles at the chosen wick, load and approved shade | Bench |
| Days 19–23 | Full-life burns (30 h worked example, 4 burning days); bride sample couriered day 19 | Calendar |
| Day 22 (Mon) | Bride signs off the finished sample: jar, scent, colour, label | Client |
| Day 23 (Tue) | Full-life burns pass; bulk order placed | You |
| Day 26 (Fri) | Bulk in; production at 70 a day: 4 pouring days (26, 27, 29, 30) | Workshop |
| Day 33 (Fri) | 72 h after the last pour: final QC and pack; window candle checked at day 14 of light | Workshop |
| Day 34 (Sat) | Hand-over |
1
Weigh the jar's real fill first (day 4)Fill one jar with water to your chosen line on a tared scale and apply the common 0.86–0.9 wax-to-water rule of thumb, then confirm with one wax pour. The page's "150g fill capacity" does not say to which line, and the label's net weight depends on it (setting net weight for a new jar; headspace in the headspace post).
2
Pour all 13 phase 1 candles on one day (day 5)One cure age for every candle, so comparisons are fair. Record wax lot, oil lot, dye drops or grams, wick, pour temperature and room temperature for each code.
3
Show the bride the dye arm (day 8)Three set candles in the real jar, in daylight. Her choice, in writing, fixes the dose for phase 2. If she wants a shade between two doses, pour a pair of pucks that day; do not guess.
4
Two burn sessions pick wick and load (days 9 and 12)Session one (cure day 4) rules out the clearly wrong arms: Cotton Braided is likely to over-burn a 7 cm jar, C1 may tunnel. Session two (cure day 7) chooses. Compare each arm with the centre and the dye arm with its undyed twin.
5
Phase 2 and the full-life burns (days 12–23)5 candles at the chosen settings, cured 7 days, then two burned to about 1 cm of wax left in attended sessions. The bride's sample goes out on day 19 with the label and box she will receive.
6
Sign-off, then bulk (days 22–26)Written approval of the finished sample, a pass on both full-life burns, then the bulk order. Production at 70 a day is 4 pouring days; the last pour sets 72 hours before packing, and hand-over is day 34.
If the full-life burn fails: a wick change in phase 2 means a new pour, another 7-day cure and another 4 burning days, about 11 days. That turns day 34 into about day 45. The wick arm in phase 1 is there to make this unlikely, but it cannot rule out a final-third problem, because phase 1 candles are not burned to the end. Build the possibility into the deadline decision.
The deadline decision
The number of variables changes the candle count. The calendar changes only when a variable leaves the wax.
Here is the useful surprise. Testing three variables in parallel takes about the same calendar as testing one, because the time is set by cure and full-life burns, not by how many candles you pour. What shortens the calendar is removing the need for a new burn proof altogether. A new colour in your proven candle still needs a confirmation burn, because dye is part of the formula. A colour carried by the label, ribbon, tag or box needs none.
Three answers to the same bride · deadline day 30 (worked example)
Day 1 = enquiry, Monday 12 October 2026 → day 30 is Tuesday 10 November · production 250 at 70 a day in every row · all first-time passes
| What changes | Testing needed | Hand-over | Against day 30 | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full new product: jar, oil and colour all new | 13 + 5 test candles; full-life burns | day 34 | misses by 4 days | Only if the date moves to day 36 (two spare days) |
| New colour only, in your proven jar, wick and oil | dye ladder + 3 confirmation candles; full-life burn | day 27 | 3 days spare | Offer this |
| No new variable in the wax: wedding label, ribbon, tag or box | none beyond your normal QC | day 12 | plenty | Offer if the colour can live on the packaging |
So the decision rule is: accept the all-new candle only if the hand-over date is at least day 34 from the enquiry, with two spare days if you can get them (day 36). Between day 27 and day 33, offer the new colour in your proven jar, wick and fragrance. Before day 27, offer your proven candle dressed for the wedding. These dates assume first-time passes; if the bride's date is fixed and close, do not plan on a wick re-loop fitting.
Mistake: accepting day 30 and "testing in parallel with production". Why it fails: production would start on day 19, before the full-life burns finish, so 250 candles are poured with a wick that has not been through a final third. If the burn fails on day 23, you have 250 wedding candles with the wrong wick and seven days left. Fix: say no to the all-new candle at day 30 and say yes to the colour-only version, which keeps the bride's palette and your proof. When development genuinely cannot fit, the risk arithmetic is the no-time-to-test post; the never-skip list is the never-skip post.
What goes in the written order
Practical judgement, not legal advice. Name the approval points and their dates (shade day 8, finished sample day 22), state that a change of jar, scent or colour after approval restarts testing and moves the hand-over, and take an advance that at least covers what becomes client-specific when you buy it. If this jar, oil and dye are not in your normal range, that is the jars, the oil and the dye: about ₹42,930.00 on the sheet below (the advance-covers-custom-materials post). Which materials the bride must approve before any bulk purchase is the client-approval post; securing them before promising a date is the secure-materials-first post.
What the matrix and the order cost
The matrix costs less than one carton of the jars it protects.
Two sheets. The development kit is everything the 18 test candles need, in in-stock CSI packs. The production sheet is for 250 saleable favours once the bride signs, assuming C2 and 8% win (a worked example; your matrix decides), with planned extras (3 retains + 2 burn checks), a 4% loss buffer, a 1% heel allowance, and 2% breakage on pieces, each counted once.

Development is 8.3% of the production lines. Three pack facts matter. Oil: Japanese Cherry Blossom's 1 kg is ₹4.84 a gram but its 500 g is ₹5.00, the same as the 100 g, so the cheapest cover for 3,211.8 g is 3 × 1 kg + 3 × 100 g (₹16,026.00), not 3 × 1 kg + 500 g (₹17,026.00) or 4 × 1 kg (₹19,368.00). Wax: CSI 464 is ₹507.40 a kilo from 1 kg to 10 kg, so buy to the kilo. Jars and wicks: flat per piece, so the smallest covering combination wins. Confirm on WhatsApp that 280 jars can come from one batch: glass varies between batches, and the matrix proved this batch.
Argued against our own interest
Do not buy the 280 jars or the 3.3 kg of oil before day 22. If the bride changes her mind about the jar on day 10, the development kit is the only thing you have spent, ₹5,343.00. And if a colour on the ribbon would make her just as happy, our dye is the one product on this page you do not need.
This page is for you if the bride wants a jar, scent and colour you have never combined. Read 6311 instead if only the fragrance is new: a ladder, not a matrix. Read 6303 if the candle is proven and the question is whether your moulds, melter and team can finish in time.
What to buy for the matrix
Five items, chosen on page statements, price and stock on 7 October 2026. CSI publishes no burn, throw or dye-dose data, so nothing is ranked on performance; the oil and dye fit a worked-example blush-pink brief. Each card says what it cannot tell you.
1
jar · the new container · 7 cm outer · hot-pour figure stated
Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid (150 gram)
The worked-example "new jar", and one of the few CSI jars whose page states a heat figure: "Safe for hot pour up to 85°C". It also states "150g fill capacity" and "Height 8cm, outer diameter 7cm", and lists "bridal orders" among its uses. It states no inside diameter and does not say which line 150 g fills to, which is why the first test of the matrix is a weighed test pour to your own fill line. Pour Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 at 80°C–85°C here: its page states 80°C–90°C, and the lower limit governs. Argued against our own interest: the price is flat, ₹94.40 a jar in 10s or 20s, so buying 20 for testing costs nothing extra per jar, and a bigger order saves nothing either.

fragrance oil · floral · the new oil
Japanese Cherry Blossom Fragrance Oil
A wedding-friendly floral for a blush-pink brief. The page describes "sweet cherry and soft pink petals opening into a rose and jasmine heart, grounded by warm sandalwood and musk" and states "6-13% for candles". In CSI 464 the wax page's "up to 10%" is the lower ceiling, so the load arm stops at 10%. In the text we captured, the page states no cure time and no vanillin figure, so the dye arm and the window candle carry the discolouration question. Argued against our own interest: the 500 g is ₹5.00 a gram, exactly the same as the 100 g, so for the 216 g the matrix needs, two 100 g bottles and a 50 g (₹1,270.00) beat a 500 g (₹2,500.00).

dye · liquid · the new colour
Candle Dye Liquid — Red
For a blush or rose shade, a low dose of red in soy is the usual route. The page says "Red dye in soy wax tends to produce lighter to medium shades of red", and in the text we captured it states no dosage, so the dose ladder is yours. One reviewer on the Purple dye notes that a little gives a pastel shade. The Green and Yellow liquid dyes are out of stock on 7 October 2026. We do not quote the Pink Liquid Candle Dye page, whose captured copy describes black dye chips; ask on WhatsApp before using it. Limitation: sizes are listed as "15 gm", "50 ml" and "100 gm", so weigh dye in grams on your own scale when you write the approved recipe.
| Size | Price | Use here |
|---|---|---|
| 15 gm | ₹236.00 | development: the dye ladder |

wick · pre-tabbed · the down-step and centre rungs
Eco Candle Wicks — Thin (C1) and Thick (C2)
C2 is the centre of the matrix because it is CSI's middle sized, tabbed wick, not because it is right for this jar; no CSI page names a wick for this jar, and the Eco page states no length or diameter range in the text we captured. C1 is the down-step arm. Both are flat per wick (₹5.90 and ₹9.44), so buy the smallest covering pack: C2 20 for 14 wicks and C1 20 for 2. The Thin (C1) 10-pack is out of stock on 7 October 2026. A 7 cm jar with a fast, wide pool on C2 is the case in the 7 cm rose fragrance post.

wick · the up-step rung · a deliberate over-step here
Cotton Braided Wicks Ready Made
The up-step arm. The page says these are "engineered for large-diameter candles exceeding 8 cm", and this jar is 7 cm outside, so expect it to over-burn here. That is the point: an arm that clearly fails tells you the ceiling, and if C2 tunnels in the new jar, this is CSI's next sized, tabbed wick. Argued against our own interest: there is no sized, tabbed wick between C2 and Cotton Braided at CSI. If C2 is slightly small and Cotton Braided clearly too big, say so to us on WhatsApp rather than forcing either into a wedding order.
| Pack | Price | Per wick | Role in the matrix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | ₹120.00 | ₹12.00 | 2 for the up-step arm |
| Pack of 50 | ₹600.00 | ₹12.00 | |
| Pack of 100 | ₹1,200.00 | ₹12.00 | |
| Pack of 500 | ₹6,000.00 | ₹12.00 | |
| Pack of 1,000 | ₹12,000.00 | ₹12.00 |
Two needed: the 10-pack, ₹120.00. Buy 10 — ₹120.00
Not on the list: a 500 g or 1 kg of the oil (wait for sign-off), the production jars (wait for sign-off), and any second jar "in case the bride changes her mind". A second jar is a second matrix.
Wedding season is commonly cited as roughly November to February. An all-new candle enquired about on Monday 12 October 2026 reaches hand-over around Saturday 14 November on this plan. Send us your jar and oil list on WhatsApp before you quote, and we will confirm stock, batch and dispatch for the bulk quantity, or say plainly what we cannot promise.

The CSI principle
Change one thing and you have a variation. Change three and you have a new candle: test it like one.
A plus-shaped matrix keeps the candle count small. Nothing keeps the cure and the full-life burn short, so the deadline decides which variables you can afford.
"Brides remember the colour. Guests remember the candle that sooted."

Why trust this guide
CandleMakingSuppliesIndia sells the jar, oil, dye and wicks named here, and does not sell finished candles. This page still tells you to decline an all-new candle when the date is close, to buy 100 g bottles instead of our 500 g (which costs the same per gram), that our Cotton Braided wick is likely too big for this jar, and that a ribbon may do the dye's job.
Every CSI price was checked on the live store on 7 October 2026. Stock was checked per size: every item priced here is in stock on that date; the Eco C1 10-pack and the Green and Yellow liquid dyes are out of stock and are not used. Page wording (fill capacity, hot-pour figure, load range, dye behaviour) is quoted as written; the Pink Liquid Candle Dye page is not quoted because its captured copy describes another product.
The order size, fill, deadline, dye doses, transit and reply times, burn life, production rate and buffers are labelled worked examples; the plus-shaped design is a testing judgement, not a standard, and the decision rule is practical business judgement, not legal advice. For bulk pricing, stock and batch confirmation, GST invoicing, and MSDS and IFRA documentation on request, message us on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to retest my candle if I change the jar, fragrance and colour?
Yes. With all three new, only the wax is proven, so wick, load, colour and heat must be proven again in the new jar. A plus-shaped matrix of 13 candles plus 5 full-life confirmations does it without testing every combination.
How many test candles do I need for a new candle design?
On this design, 18: 13 in phase 1 (centre, a load arm, a wick arm and a dye arm with an undyed twin) and 5 in phase 2 at the chosen settings. A full factorial of three wicks, three loads and three dye doses would be 54.
How long does it take to develop a custom wedding candle?
On a worked example of 250 favours, hand-over is about day 34 from the enquiry, and about 11 days later if the full-life burn forces a wick change. A new colour in a proven candle is about day 27; a proven candle with wedding packaging about day 12.
How do I get a client to approve a candle colour?
Show set candles in the real jar, with the fragrance at the chosen load, in daylight, and get the choice in writing. Do not approve from liquid dye, a phone photo or unscented pucks, because the oil and the glass both change the shade.
Can I use Cotton Braided wicks in a 7 cm jar?
CSI's page says they are engineered for candles exceeding 8 cm, so in a 7 cm jar expect over-burning. Use them as the deliberate up-step arm of a wick test, not as a default. CSI has no sized, tabbed wick between C2 and Cotton Braided.
What temperature should I pour soy wax into a jar rated for hot pour up to 85°C?
With Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464, whose page states a pour temperature of 80°C–90°C, pour at 80°C–85°C: the lower of the two stated limits governs. Check with a thermometer every pour.

Non-price figures: the title gives no figures. 250 favours, the 150 g fill, the day-30 deadline, the 12 October start, the dye doses, transit and reply times, the 30-hour burn life, 70 candles a day, 5 planned extras, 4% rejects, 1% heel and 2% piece breakage are labelled worked examples; load is a percentage of total candle weight (150 g at 8% = 12 g oil + 138 g wax); the 0.86–0.9 wax-to-water factor is a rule of thumb. Ceilings are the pages' (CSI 464 up to 10%; Japanese Cherry Blossom 6–13%): formulation limits, not regulatory ones. Jar wording ("150g fill capacity", "Safe for hot pour up to 85°C") is the product page's. Costs are materials only and exclude labels, boxes, labour, freight and GST. Wedding season as roughly November–February is a common pattern, not data.
