With a little little know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva along with a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, if they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, naturally, are 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 includes 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 1 inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of them categories, or will be more a combination and match type, while you are true to your very own style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
