An emerging industry trend in the limo business is to develop limos which can double as a mobile office. A startup company in Nashville, Tennessee called Grand Avenue Chauffeured Transportation is on the forefront of this emerging trend, and they have secured investment capital to provide outfit their stretch limos with free WiFi, iPads, satellite TV and GPS tracking.

The company has expanded by acquiring a key competitor last year, and now the tech-heavy limos are representing a new shift in the way that many companies spend on travel. The limo industry is moving far beyond the weddings and high-school proms with the introduction of a new concept vehicle known as a limo bus. This 2010 Ford E-450 model looks more like the cabin of a private jet on the inside, complete with wooden desks, leather seats, satellite TV and radio, a DVD player and two flat-panel screens.

What's old is new in terms of trendy wedding accessories. Drama from eras past is definitely in this year, especially an Old Hollywood Glam aesthetic, and going back much further, medieval jewelry and design. The idea of being covered in precious gems and luxurious fabrics from far off lands is quite a romantic thought for many brides-to-be, and the Johanna Johnson collection brings this fantasy to life with her 2011 looks.

Another designer who is making accessories that are full of whimsy and vintage flair is Etsy seller Mignonne, who designs everything from bridal headbands and halos adorned with natural embellishments to fantastic mini bridal hats. Each of their designs is hand-dyed, hand-cut, and hand-sewn, and if you have a specific design in mind they can make custom pieces as well.
