With a little amount of know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate your look. 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 along with 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, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, could be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, naturally, are important for this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail will not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes 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 it is 1 inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these 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.
