Today I’m sharing with you an “oldie, but goodie”: my Great Gatsby theme board featuring Queen Bey herself!

If you missed her “Life is But a Dream” documentary on HBO this week-end, you can watch it here!

What do you think of this FAB theme board??

P.S. Doesn’t this post just make you ache for Spring and Spring weddings??

White Like Bey

First, I just want to say that I am praying for all of the people–stateside and in the islands–who were affected by Hurricane Sandy. I believe the God will provide for you, comfort you, and lift you up higher than …

Crowning Glory
