June 10, 2013 | editorial team

Well, it was bound to happen… I loved all things glittering already, but after seeing the visual feast that was The Great Gatsby this weekend, I’m now officially sparkle obsessed. What does that mean for you? A post about sequined wedding dresses, glitzy bridesmaids’ frocks, sparkly shoes and the blingy-est bridal accessories I could find! It’s enough to make Daisy herself swoon.
