With a little little bit of 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 and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they need, and as long as they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, of course, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, of course, are very important to this particular 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 incorporates a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for added 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 be a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of them 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.
