With a little little know-how, you can creatively coordinate your thing. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva as well as a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, if they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, ensures they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, obviously, are essential to the 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 features 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 which is 1 inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these simple categories, or tend to be more a combination and match type, while you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
