Since 2016, I have been working exclusively with weddings. As a wedding planner, master of ceremonies, and stylist, we strive to tailor each wedding precisely to the wishes of the bride and groom.\u00a0<\/p>

By the way, I'm Mariska, creative enthusiast, workaholic, jack-of-all-trades, perfectionist, no-nonsense go-getter, and a sucker for love...<\/span><\/p>

Together with my team, I love out-of-the-box weddings, couples who want something a little different, but we also enjoy romantic weddings time and time again! In short, with us, you can go in any direction!<\/span><\/p>

At many weddings we use the cylinder vases with blunt candles, who doesn't know them? Every time they bring a perfect atmosphere and every time while cleaning them, I can curse them and say, I will never rent them out again!\u00a0<\/p>

That candle wax..... hot water, dreft, hairdryer, you name it and we've tried it, but it's still drama. And one time they come back even dirtier than the other. Especially in a busy season, then this is not what you want to worry about and spend your time on!\u00a0<\/p>

When I almost bonjourced another cylinder vase through the window, I thought surely there must be another way to do this? I went looking for the perfect solution, and I found it!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Managers Pearl Candles <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since June 2025, we have been - Liesa and Stef<\/strong> - the proud new owners of
Pearl Candles<\/strong>. We lovingly took over the brand from Mariska, who laid a wonderful foundation.
What began as a search for a stylish, safe and practical alternative to traditional candles grew into a brand
which has since become indispensable in the world of atmosphere and experience.<\/p>

We are not our test case: before Pearl Candles, we were already active in the candle world with our own label.
The magic of scent, atmosphere and design has always fascinated us - and this is reflected in every detail of our collections.<\/p>

Which is essential for us: the same trusted European quality and service will be maintained<\/strong> that customers are used to.
Pearl Candles remains Pearl Candles - with the personal touch, customer focus and high standards the brand stands for.<\/p>

Who we are.<\/p>

I am Liesa<\/strong> - creative, horse lover at heart, and the face behind everything to do with
with fragrance combinations, photography and branding.
Stef<\/strong>, my right-hand man and partner in life, is the technical thinker, digital force and logistical brain behind Pearl Candles.<\/p>

In addition to our love for Pearl Candles, together we also run a creative studio where we help brands grow with
graphic design, branding and web design. After all, atmosphere and aesthetics are in our fingers.<\/p>

With Pearl Candles<\/strong> willen we blijven innoveren, inspireren en vooral: het mensen makkelijk \u00e9n mooi maken om van kaarslicht te genieten \u2014 zonder het gedoe van kaarsvet.<\/p>

Let it glow, worry-free.<\/em><\/p>

Duurzaamheid zit in onze kern, niet in onze marketing.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Duurzame keuzes die je ziet in elk detail.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Voor Pearl Candles is duurzaamheid geen trend of commerci\u00eble boodschap. Het is de basis waarop wij werken.<\/p>

Wij kiezen bewust voor hoogwaardige grondstoffen met een RSPO-certificaat<\/strong>. Dit betekent dat de gebruikte materialen afkomstig zijn uit gecontroleerde, verantwoorde bronnen.<\/p>

Daarnaast kiezen wij er heel bewust voor om geen goedkope importproducten uit China te gebruiken, maar te werken met Europese productie en kwaliteit<\/strong>.<\/p>

Die keuze zie je niet alleen in het verhaal, maar ook in het product:<\/p>
