## Launch of the First Upcycled Candle Workshop by a Flower Cyclist® in Miyagi Prefecture
emilacandle, which creates candles by repurposing wedding bouquets from across Japan, launched an upcycled candle workshop utilizing 'loss flowers®' in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, in May 2026.
The workshop focuses on 'flower upcycling,' giving new value to flowers that would otherwise be discarded. Participants can learn botanical candle creation and various flower processing techniques.
### Background of the Workshop
emilacandle has been dedicated to repurposing wedding bouquets and commemorative flowers into candles and dried flowers without losing their beauty. By pursuing high-quality craftsmanship through repeated trials, the brand ensures strict standards for safety, durability, and aesthetic finish.
After studying about loss flowers at RIN Inc. and becoming a certified Flower Cyclist®, Narumi Matsumoto decided to open this workshop to share the cycle of 'cherishing flowers until the very end' that she learned in Tokyo with her local community in Miyagi.
### The Vision for Loss Flowers®
'Loss flowers' are those that cannot be shipped to markets due to size irregularities, or those that have served their purpose in events or bridal floral arrangements. Despite still blooming beautifully, they often end up discarded. The goal of this initiative is to breathe new life into these flowers and provide participants with an opportunity to choose 'cherishing flowers' through creative work.
### Workshop Content
- High-quality botanical candle creation
- Upcycled art creation using loss flowers
- Flower drying methods
- Flower dyeing techniques
- Beginner-level candle trial and foundational lessons
Location: Veil Factory Co., Ltd. Studio (30 Uehara, Aishima-kitame, Natori, Miyagi, 981-1237)
### Future Outlook
The brand aims to increase awareness of loss flower utilization across Miyagi Prefecture by actively participating in regional events. The goal is to reduce flower waste and establish a culture of 'cherishing flowers to the end' within the community. Furthermore, emilacandle plans to collaborate with local businesses, retailers, and flower farmers for workshops and spatial floral decorations.
