Merel Hofman: It's a real wedding flower

My name is Merel Hofman and since 2020 I have my own business called MEER Flowers. My flower store is located in Bleiswijk. After studying to become a flower stylist, I immediately started for myself.

Soon my store became busy and after the corona pandemic, it also became busier and busier with requests for weddings. Because in addition to running a flower store, I also specialize in wedding decorating. That's where my real passion lies. I find it special that we can make so many people happy with our creations. I love coming up with and implementing beautiful wedding creations. Transforming a location into a dream location is really my profession.

I think the lily is a special flower and it smells wonderful. It is a beautiful process how the lily grows from bud to flower. You really see something happening in the vase and eventually the lily emerges as a real eye-catcher. I find it ideal that there are now also fragrance-free lilies, so that we can make every customer happy with a lily.

"The lily can actually be used very well as a wedding flower. The buds are so beautifully open that it draws your gaze right away."

The Zelmira is my favorite. The color and size of the lily is perfect. For me, it is a true wedding flower. It colors so beautifully with other bridal flowers that you also see the lily a lot in my work. The lily will not easily be associated with a wedding flower, but I have a completely different opinion about that. In fact, the lily can be used very well as a wedding flower. The buds are so beautifully open that it draws your eye right away. In fact, the lily cannot be missed.

My colleague Daniëlle and I had a great time working on location. We were able to create creations for a wedding setting and for a dinner party. Bredefleur has such a nice wide range of beautiful quality. It's like a candy store!

Thank you very much.
