Glamour Girl

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

Shoes, obviously, are necessary for this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail does not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes 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 and is also 1 " high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these simple categories, or are more the mix and match type, if you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
