Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, if they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, of course, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, needless to say, are very important to the beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail won't disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and comes with a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for extra glam power.

Topping off this head-to-toe perfection: the Bridal Open Regal Style Tiara with Crystals. This stunner features Swarovski rhinestone flowers and -bling heaven!- multi-size Swarovski accent rhinestones. Embellishment spans 6 inches and is also 1 inch high, allowing her to become true princess bride. Whether you get into one of them categories, or will be more a combination and match type, as long as you're true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
