As the groom's bachelor party began to move from just a dinner with his guys to a true party filled with all kinds of drinking and well-known debauchery, the girls followed suit. Women began to rock out just as hard and the event revolved around trading intimate secrets, getting drunk and buying sexy lingerie for the bride to be.
I am so fond of the trends I have been seeing lately. You know, something different than the now stereotypical bachelorette party where everyone wakes up with the hangover of a lifetime! Here are some ideas I LOVE:

10 million people bought online on Cyber Monday this year making it the first time on record that threshold has been reached in a single day. The average consumer spent $125 and made 1.9 online transactions! The average order amount was up 2.6% from last year and 10.8% of people used their mobile device to make those purchases!
All of those numbers sound great BUT the real reason I LOVE Cyber Monday is because it's not Black Friday!
Here are some reasons why!!!

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn is the fourth and final book of Stephenie Meyer's best selling hit series. However, with the fourth book so jammed packed with excitement Summit Entertainment decided to split the final book in half. Break Dawn Part 1 focuses heavily on Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen's (Robert Pattinson) wedding. After everything the two have been through (vampires wanting to kill her, other vampires trying to kill him, you get the point..) Edward proposed and Bella said yes and since then we here at Donnie Brown Weddings & Events have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the wedding. With the Cullen's fortunes we knew this affair would be one to remember and it didn't disappoint. We only hope this gorgeous event will heavily influence 2012's wedding trends.

Part of Wedding Dress shopping is selecting the dress that you LOVE! There are countless designers to choose from, each with their own styles so you are provided with many choices. Each bride has her own taste and I can respect that, however, I think we can all agree that these are on their own special level! Remember what we say in Texas - "If you don't have anything nice to say then just say "bless her heart!"
