I'm Lilly, a Designer & Wedding Lover in Kansas City
WHAT I AM ALL ABOUT HERE
In 2021, I founded Lilly Valley Press following my involvement in my sister's wedding. Feeling a bit adrift in my twenties, I discovered my passion when I saw how my wedding stationery not only brought joy to myself but also to those around me. It became clear that nothing matters more to me than spreading happiness through my creations.

My wonderful sister and her wife Rhett came to me last moment after a month of traveling and asked me to design some signage for their wedding in a week. This simple ask sparked my passion for wedding stationery design!
