With a little little know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. 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 all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, make sure they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, needless to say, are essential 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 features 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 also one inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these categories, or will 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.
