~Film-To-Wedding Inspiration: The Great Gatsby~

Throughout the week, I will be writing how you can incorporate the set and costume design from your favorite films into your special day! 

I don't know about y'all, but I cannot wait for "The Great Gatsby" film, (Also one of my FAVORITE novels) with Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, to debut this December!  It is directed by Baz Luhrmann, the visual genius behind "Moulin Rouge" and "Romeo+Juliet"--even the movie posters are beautiful!
