I love the real weddings posts! I am really happy with all of the postings and think you should keep up the good work!
Kristen, on October 27th, 2009 at 5:26 am Said:

I love the “real time” nature of your blog to see what you ladies are up to. Your website is fab, but a blog is updated much more often. It’s also fun to see what’s inspiring you.
Rachel, on October 27th, 2009 at 5:40 am Said:

I love your inspiration boards! A Google search of “picnic weddings” lead me to a blog post of yours, and I loved it! Y have such fantastic, whimsical ideas. I keep hoping that reading this will inspire my own creativity
juel, on October 27th, 2009 at 5:45 am Said:

My favorite part about the blog is all your work!! I love your invitations. Really hoping I win that marriage certificate too
Lauren M, on October 27th, 2009 at 6:12 am Said:

I love the juicy amazing designs and colors, it’s the best I’ve seen anywhere and I just wish I could afford invitations from you!
emily, on October 27th, 2009 at 6:16 am Said:

I’d have to say that I most enjoy the balance this blog has in posts. I love seeing the new stationary, designs and wedding pictures you’ve found, but this site more than others has a great addition of your own lives and the fun creative experiments y’all are getting into. It’s inspirational to see everyone here actually using the ideas you’ve found! Keep it up!
Jessica Leigh, on October 27th, 2009 at 6:32 am Said:

This blog is such a gem to have found! Checking in with you ladies at Wiley Valentine always brightens my day. Even if I read the same blog post over and over (which is rare b/c you post every day!) or search through your archives, I always feel a little more inspired and a little more refreshed. You have an amazing design sense and a real eye for beautiful things. Every small detail is accounted for and lovely. I also love love love your typography! Every day I look forward to seeing which type faces you pair up for each post =) You’ve inspired me so much that I took the liberty of creating my own inspiration board at the office. It’s a bulletin board for myself and my fellow designers to hang some of our favorite designs, colors palettes, and artwork we find. Keep up the stunning stationery work and your wonderful inspirational blog posts <33

I love how just browsing your blog and site flares my own inspiration and design to create. Everything you publish is elegant - sophisticated - polished - and yet simple enough to leave an individual with a sigh of “wow, why haven’t we seen that before, it’s so classic!” Thank you for sharing inspiration with me every day for the past year! Happy Birthday Wiley Valentine Blog!

How many ways do I love thee, let me count the way… just kidding! But really, in all seriousness, I love looking at your blog not only for the beautiful invitations you create (I am a stationary freak and find myself buying invitaitons from your site just to have for a rainy day) but for the wonderful photos you capture from a recent party, a trip to my hometown of Nantucket, or just a picture of your new workspace. Your blog is able to capture just the right amount of story text to beautiful photos. In terms of ideas for additional topics, keep on doing what you’re doing. AMAZING!
Colleen, on October 27th, 2009 at 1:44 pm Said:

Lighthearted, fresh and comforted. That’s how I feel when I visit your blog, as you take me on a visual delightful journey. It’s like a min-vacation, and it’s here whenever I need it!

This has turned into my daily obsession. You showcase everything I have a passion for: glorious paper, beyond the usual photography, weddings, color, art, quirky goodness…*le sigh*… I lose myself (and most of my day) in this site. I now have 8 links from your blog I must look at…
