It All Started with a Little Glitter…
It began in Los Angeles, 1985. One day, Meredithe (who's childhood nickname was Meri Meri) Stuart-Smith was sitting at her kitchen table with a bunch of cards and a big pot of glitter. Then the magic began! Thrilled with the process of coming up with ideas and bringing them to life, she realized one kitchen table, some glitter, and one pair of hands won’t nearly be enough. Meredithe needed lots of kitchen tables and an enormous pot of glitter to satisfiy her and her friends creativity.
And Grew into Meri Meri
The company grew from that little network of friends, working under Meri Meri’s designs and direction. And now, after 35 years, Meredithe heads a studio in a little town called Cheltenham, of many talented designers and artists, and Meri Meri products are sold all over the world. They owe alot of their success to two main things – a great eye for watching new trends and knowing the market, and operating as a design studio full of creatives rather than a typical business. This has allowed them to keep their products front and center, and fingers still in the glitter pot. The brand has made it its mission to create unique party supplies and pretty accessories that immediately put you in a party spirit and help fill you with memories to hold on to. From brilliantly designed party favors, beautiful cards, and charming jewellery and hair accessories, you will be able to find something for every occasion.
Party Decoration for Every Occasion
Meri Meri’s line of products are lovingly crafted with a goal in mind: to preserve the wonder of childhood throughout your entire life. Therefore they make fantastic things for every ocassion; for a child’s magical first birthday, a wedding or anniversary, an Easter egg hunt or to help plan a festive Christmas for the first or fiftieth time. If you’re planning a special event, you will find everything you need with Meri Meri - a wedding with a hundred guests, or a romantic Valentine’s dinner for two. The Meri Meri range has expanded to include large balloons filled with confetti, festive garlands with matching motifs or fancy lettering, and of course lots of colourful and glittering accessories.
But guests still expect to see a beautifully laid table. Meri Meri offers an amazing range of high-end paper tableware. Paper plates, napkins, and paper cups with pretty motifs belong on every party table. There’s even funny party hats, confetti crackers, and temporary tattoos and stickers to match! A little fun is a must, more fun is even better! But all that celebrating can make you hungry, so small treats are essential at parties. Meri Meri makes sure that those delicacies are presented in the right light with beautiful cake decorations, cupcake kits, and glittering candles. Especially impressive: the magnificent cupcake and icecream stands. A princess party isn’t complete without a beautiful cupcake castle centerpiece, and what’s a pirate party without a huge ship to hold all of the yummy treasure?!
