I am a scientist by day and an artist by night. I received a visual arts minor while at college as an outlet for my incessant need to make, reshape, and design. I plunged into graphic design while creating my own wedding invitation. When I'm not being a nerd or drawing up new ideas, I knit.
I started dandelion dream designs following my observation the truly custom wedding invitations are hard to come by or cost a fortune. When I say "custom"....that's really what I promise for your wedding announcements. Other business "customize" your invitation by inserting names and pictures into their limited options. I create each announcement from scratch with your preferences in mind. If you like one of my existing designs, we can start from that template and add features you like. After I have created a few options, you and I will confer about the pros and cons of design variations eventually leading to a final product.

Fully customized invitations begin at $50 and increase depending on the design and printing requests. Please email questions to Sarah at dandeliondreamdesigns [at] gmail [dot] com.
I also offer custom handmade guest books. This can be ordered with a set of invitations or separately (I offer deals if you order both from me!). All books are handbound using high quality art paper. Inserts, title pages, and pictures are optional.
To get a quote for a custom handmade guest book, please fill out a request form. Baseline price ($40) for an 8x8 book includes your choice of cover & thread color, custom title page, and 40 pages in 5 sections. Please email questions to Sarah at dandeliondreamdesigns [at] gmail [dot] com.
If you have fabric/paper selected for your wedding and would like the cover to match, you will need to send an 10X20 piece of fabric or 2 pieces of 10X10 scrapbook-type paper. I will match the endsheets and thread to the swatch.
