Hi, I'm Dominic 👋

From architectural houses to wedding tables.
My name is Dominic, and after many years of studying architecture I began to feel further away from my original vision of the industry. I wanted to help design sustainable projects; work that meant something to the client and had a positive impact on those around them. I had trained for so long in design, yet I found myself doing less and less of it each day. This is where I took a leap of faith and founded Dorset Maker Studio.

Dorset Maker Studio Full Description

The first architectural lead wedding design service. After years of training in architecture I found my love of design and project delivery through my own wedding designing items for my wife.....She was a tough client with high standards.

You’re probably wondering what is a 'wedding designer' and what do we do as a design service. Well we cover anything from wedding stationary to bespoke wedding gifts or products. If you want fancy place holders with your name as a crest we can design it. You want something so bespoke it sounds so strange to say it out loud…guess what, we have you covered. As a designer it’s my job to design cool things and make them. That’s why we are a maker studio. We don't just do pretty inviations with gold foil we design a suite of items to match your day. You can have as little or as much as you want from custom vases, to your own newspaper.

We are here for the ‘real wedding experience’ no Etsy products to be found here. We are not a single design and swap out the name on the invitation kind of studio. We design everything from scratch…mostly. This ensures your getting exactly what you want which is key.

Sustainble wedding design ethos and practises to ensure your getting the most out of your day and not just chucking it the next. You wouldn't order an architectural extension off etsy? so why not give your wedding the same care. Make all your memories last.

Some key infomation:

Printing:

We don't include printing in our pricing purely because we like to work with a few printers as some are more affordable for other items whilst some only produce specialist things. There's no need to pay top buck for all the printing so don't worry we will tender the package for you.

Exclusions:

See exclusions on our website.

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Dom
Its says add a personal message but I'm sure I can cover that if we start chatting. In any case I know wedding planning is tough, that's why I'm here to help lighten the load. You would design an architectural house by yourself so why do it for a wedding?

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

3D Printing

Yes we use 3d printing a lot in our design methods as it gives us the flexibility to design a whole range of bespoke items, not just some laser engraved wood.

Wedding Designer?

Just think of an Architect/ Architectural designer and then think wedding design......Now you're on the right track. In architecture school we aren't always taught to design buildings rather we are equipped with the skills to design.

Printing price excluded?

Yes purely because we like to work with a few printers. Some printers only offer white ink printing or foil so it's important to us to tender the package out so your not paying top buck

Lead times

It depends on the notice and our schedule (we can do emergency jobs). We generally like to be brought on the project a month before the invitations go out (3 months is best practice)...or earlier

Delivery

We do insist on collection in person purely to ensure you are happy with everything, but we can post items out. 1st class Royal Mail would be our go to. So about a few days

Minimum orders?

Don't worry about reaching a minimum order no wedding is ever exactly X amount of guest. If you need a small job then reach out. The general design charge per hour is £45
