 Confessions of a Customer


BT Elements favor boxesJust over two years ago, Anne MacFarlane of Great Falls visited The Dandelion Patch in Vienna in search of the perfect invitation for her father's 90th birthday. That day, Anne knew that she'd found "a great resource" in The Dandelion Patch for invitations, favors, and gifts, and she's been shopping with us ever since!

Beyond her father's birthday party, Anne has also planned a number of bridal showers for her friends' daughters. Last year, Anne hosted a tea-themed bridal shower, where she tied individual Tea Forte diffusers in colorful tulle for favors - all to complement her beautiful invitations.

Anne was fortunate to hold the title of "Mother of the Groom" for her son's wedding last November, where she was very involved in the planning and found herself visiting The Dandelion Patch often for inspiration. "I'm interested in creativity - not the same old same old," says Anne. With Victoria's expert assistance, Anne selected Odd Balls invitations for her son's rehearsal dinner and other wedding events. For the rehearsal dinner favors, Anne ordered custom bag-shaped favor boxes from BT Elements, filling them with miniature bottles of Amaretto for her guests at the Italian-themed dinner. The in-house production team at the Reston store designed coordinating menu cards tied with scarlet and brown ribbons, emulating the wedding's color palette in every detail.

Most recently, Anne ordered classic and functional wedding keepsake boxes from Carlson Craft for herself and her new daughter-in-law, as well as gorgeous custom silk-covered photo albums from Jan Sevadjian Designs. We can only hope that Anne's creativity and hospitality bring her into The Dandelion Patch again soon!
