How sweet! - I love candles - however, yes, many that contain essential oils may be harmful. Here is a site I quickly found:

It seems that it is safe, as long as the wicks does not have lead.... Although I guess that, provided you don't burn candles is big quantities, and under the proper ventilation, it should also be fine.
