Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged while using "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, if they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy?

A must in most color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, needless to say, are very important to this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail doesn't disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and incorporates a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for really 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 one inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you fall into one of these categories, or tend to be more the mix and match type, if you are true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
