  3. Congratulations! Your website is such a source of inspiration for my upcoming wedding – I love everything about this site. :)

    Congrats! I love the color palettes you put together. I read your blog through Google Reader and I love when I sign on and have a new post! Keep up the great work!

  6. The colors, the simplicity, the details, the creativity! Truly is inspiring! Keep it up!

  7. ummm helloo!! what is not to love about your blog! i love how much time and thought that you put into every post, that you continually give back to your readers thru inspiration boards, sending an e-mail their way with a link they might be interested in, etc. love you, love your blog! happy 500th post!

  8. Congratulations! How exciting for you! I love so many things about your blog. You gave my little blog a shout out, which is always a flattering treat! Your posts are full of variety. You’re like a “full-service blog” that serves inspiration boards, Q&A, regional-specific info, etc. And you’re sweet and girly without being sappy. I love that you get excited about things without claiming to burst into tears or declaring your love for EVERYTHING that flies across your inbox. And I love how much you comment on other people’s blogs. I know how good it makes me and other bloggers feel. And of course, I’ll always throw-down for someone who represents 773 and 312! Congrats again! Here’s to 500 more!

  9. P.S. I should add that I’m a little mad at you for convincing me to use Google Reader. My blog roll is up to 155!

    Congratulations! How exciting. I’ve been addicted to your blog for some time now, and I’ve been in tune even more since adding it to my Google Reader about a month and a half ago! Keep up the great posts!

  11. Congratulations to you! I just love that on your blog we get to read *two* passionate voices. I know when I stop by that there will be twice as much knowledge and twice as much variety. Thank you for all the inspiration you’ve given me for my own wedding!

  12. I love that you feature beautiful images on your website. I love that I can see work from a slew of photographers on this one site. I love that you share so much knowledge and passion with the world!

  13. congrats! i get so excited when one of your posts pops up in my google reader– i know i can count on you for inspiration that isn’t outlandish, advice that is well-grounded, and eye candy that rejuvenates a long day!

  14. I love the COLOR of this blog. You seem to push the “bridal boundaries” with color and as a photographer, I think that’s awesome!!!

  15. Congrats!! I love that it is a blend of everything. Some traditional, some modern. Some fancy, some low-key. Some runway, some down-to-earth woman.
    hehehe – fun tidbit – I also love running into other people in their comments. I booked my photographer last week, and now I am looking at her comment in loving that you show a slew of photographers. =) Small bridal blog world (and creative and friendly!!)

  16. Although I don’t have you guys on my ‘google reader’ (I’m not the most web-savvy) I do have you guys book marked, and I DO check the site, oh, about fifty times a day. Not kidding. It is the first site I go to after email in the mornings, and the last site I check before falling asleep. I absolutely love your blog: the creative ideas, the beautiful images you pull together, the complete honesty you both have in opinions, and the genius idea of guest bloggers (which have really lent a variety of perspectives.) Elizabeth created a color palette for me a while ago, and it set off a bomb of inspiration (and addiction) in my world. I am in the throws of planning at the moment….even though my wedding is still 11 months away. I just love all the different takes on the same ideas that keep popping up. Your blog (and the many hundreds of others you provide links to- thanks!) has made deciding on things both easier and helped me form firmer opinions. Mostly though, it has made my life much more inspired. I see potential everywhere now, where before I didn’t. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

    Congrats! I love the colors and inspiration you provide on your blog.

  18. Hooray! Congratulations on the 500th post! And what’s not to love on your blog? :-) Although personally, I do love all your color boards. I SO wish I had had one for my wedding. They’re so pretty, they give me a sweet little minute of happiness every time I see one.

  19. Michelle writes... {May 27, 2008 at 12:14 pm}

    500, yay! I love all of the little inspirations I get here for DIY projects for my wedding. There are so many good ideas and new color combos I had never even considered!

  20. I love the seemingly endless bouts of creativity – I honestly don’t know how you girls do it! You seem to reach from all corners of the blogosphere and pick out the best and most amazing goodies to share with us.

    Most recently, I’m enjoying your Blog of the Week posts. My Google Reader may break under the weight of the blogroll within – but this doesn’t stop me from adding more fabulous subscriptions to it!

  21. I Love everything weddings! I am new to your blog and came across via Jessica Claire! Keep up the inspiring work!

  22. KateMW writes... {May 27, 2008 at 12:41 pm}

    I love your blog and everything on it, but my most favoriteist (my 3 year old’s word) part is the fact that you talk about vow renewals and have really made me not feel like a spoiled brat for wanting to do it. Thank you so much for that and helping me realize my dream. You ROCK!!!!!

  23. Congratulations! I love the inspiration! No matter how bad of a day I’m having, no matter how elusive my creativity seems, I can come here and immediately be uplifted! Thank you!!!

    Congratulations! I absolutely love this blog. What first caught my eye were the DYI projects, but now I look forward to your inspiration boards – they are always beautiful!

  25. Such an open ended question — there’s so much to love! I love your unique eye on weddings and how you feature such a diverse rang of insipiration and ideas. Congratulations and keep it up! xoxo

    Pure inspiration. Your blog has helped me develop a vision for my own weding that I never thought was possible.
    Thank you!

    I love the mix of elegance and fun. It’s whimsical without being over the top and posh without being pretentious.

  31. You are the best! I love your inspirations and your clever quips and…! Well, I just love you and your blog!! Keep inventing new ways to inspire and entertain us! I will be reading long past the next 500!!! Congrats!!!

  32. I just love your original content and fresh ideas…that’s amazing you are at your 500th post…it truly is hard work and I appreciate all of your efforts! Cheers to 500 more!

    Is it going to be completely nerdy of me to admit that I feel like you guys are my friends? I love that this blog is a two way street. Not only can I read regularly and get fantastic inspiration from it, but if I have questions or comments, I know that you guys will always read and respond. You guys are in my “commercial blog” category on my Google Reader, but your blog feels anything but commercial. So many wedding blogs out there have some darker purpose that they are trying to promote, but I have never had that feeling from either of you. I think most of all I love your dedication to your blog! I think that this site has turned into your little blog baby and you take such good care of it! Thanks for all of your fantastic work so far, I can’t wait to see what else you come up with for your next 500 posts and beyond!

  34. KateMW writes... {May 28, 2008 at 8:06 am}

    I totally agree with you, Jenna. I’ve asked questions, really just out loud and not expecting an answer and I’ve gotten emails from both of y’all. Thanks so much for writing this blog and being a part of it as well. You are ROCKSTARS!

  35. Happy 500th! Maybe you’ll get 500 comments!!! You are soooooo popular!

  36. I love seeing one of my best friends doing something she loves! (and is quite good at too!) Congrats to you both.

  37. Elizabeth writes... {May 28, 2008 at 12:20 pm}

    Congratulations on your 500th post! There’s so much to love about your blog, especially how inspiring and visual it is! Keep up the excellent work! :)

  38. Rachel writes... {May 28, 2008 at 1:34 pm}

    Thanks so much for providing a source of inspiration and ideas for my future wedding! The color combinations and vendors that you feature are so fun and welcoming, I can’t wait to continue reading, even after our wedding!

  39. Ummm….the inspiration boards by far!!! The blue and white one you just did is beautiful- we’re using seersucker for our wedding and it’s great to see you guys use it as well. Congrats on the 500 postings. You’re definitely one of my faves on my google reader!

    Coming from a bride who wasn’t initially stoked about planning her big day, your inspirational blog has gotten me super excited about every last detail of the planning process! Thanks for being so awesome and I’m looking forward to your next 500 to come!

  41. Awesome and congrats! Although I have a lot of blogs on my google reader, I still click on the blogs that I want to read the new posts first before I scroll through the rest and your blog is definitely on my “first clicks”!!

    Always love your inspirational ideas and just overall fun posts!
