Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns that they can ignore the significance of details; namely, accessories.

With a little little know-how, it is easy to 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 and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, and as long as they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes winter months bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, of course, are very important to this 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 additional 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 one inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you fall into one of them categories, or will be more the mix and match type, if you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
