Millions excitedly watched the morning of April 29, 2011 as Catherine Middleton wed Prince William of Wales in a breath-taking gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen fashion house. The dress was inspired by the one worn by Grace Kelly, the day she married Prince Rainier of Monaco. The French Chantilly lace and English Cluny lace adorning the gown were hand sewn throughout the skirt, underskirt and bodice. Critics praised Ms. Middleton’s elegantly polished wedding day look, which has paved the way for lace to take center stage for fall 2011 and winter 2012 affairs.

Girls just want to have fun, but so do guys! Men are vocalizing the importance of including their interests when planning a social event. We predict Man Caves...spaces created for men to congregate and enjoy "guy time," will be hitting the party scene in the near future. What guy wouldn't be thrilled to see an area featuring a Bourbon, Cognac & Whiskey bar, surrounded by a few poker and blackjack tables?
