 Confessions of a Customer


. . . first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage!

Lanique Eubanks had seen The Dandelion Patch's name multiple times in her bridal magazines so she decided to stop in and see what all the praise was about.

Lanique, who grew up in McClean, Virginia knows and loves the town of Vienna, so she had high hopes for the service she would receive at The Dandelion Patch. The first project she entrusted with 'The Patch' was her wedding program. She said, "I was afraid to spend time ordering a program that my wedding guests would leave behind." Instead of ordering her programs from an outside vendor, Lanique chose from the sample programs of programs The Dandelion Patch creates in-house. She says.". . .everyone took their programs with them because they were so beautiful!" She even kept her own copy and looks at it quite often.

Now that the wedding is over and Lanique and her husband Jeffrey are expecting their first child, she has returned to 'The Patch' for bridal shower invitations, gifts, and will soon return for birth announcements. Recently, Lanique pruchased embroidered bags for her mother-in-law and sister-in law as well as took advantage of June's free personalization offer and bought stationery for her mother. "My mother was so excited. She said she's never had stationery with her own name on it!"

Lanique says she is impressed by the women at The Dandelion Patch.  Wendy and Nina were patient and thoughtful as the helped Lanique pick out her items. "I know there can be a lot of tension around picking out invitations. Mothers, mother-in-laws, and brides can all have different opinions. Everyone's work quality was superb."

Lanique, from all of us at The Dandelion Patch, best of luck with the new baby! We'll see you again soon!
