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

Let your hair down and accentuate your tresses with the Bridal Set of Four Gardenia Flower Hair Coils. These small satin gardenias accented with delicate sprays of Swarovski crystal rhinestones add the best touch of sparkle without being overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk around the aisle in security in CeeCee flip-flops, having a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing.

Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles a vintage heirloom piece.

This large, feathery accent is designed for refined hairstyles requiring just a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color on their wedding wardrobes. All the rage at this time: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, and that's only the way she likes it. This is a woman who loves her shoes. For this fashion forward bride, it's Cyndi by Coloriffics lace-up sandal with 3 1/2" heel. Looks straight from a 5th Avenue boutique. Tres magnifique!

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all 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, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, of course, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. 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 will not 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 1 inch high, allowing her to become true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these simple categories, or will be more the amalgamation and match type, as long as you're true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
