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

A must in each and every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, of course, are essential for 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 incorporates a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for added glam power.

Embellishment spans 6 inches and it is 1 inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride.
