Tips for Buying Wedding Accessories for Your Dress, Written from Edison

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the main issue." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing are often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns they ignore the significance about details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to produce a total image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will perform. With a little little bit of know-how, you can creatively coordinate your lifestyle. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Bohemian Chic

Flowing tresses, flowing dresses and flowers galore. This lady might be laid-back, and not with regards to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will like the sunlight, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding? Ward off the chill in boho-chic and animal friendly style using the Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let nice 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 perfect touch of sparkle without having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk around the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, which has a comfy cushioned wedge sole and a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, pick a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel with a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face with the shoe. Carry your necessities in vogue with the Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles a well used heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is always on the innovative of fashion, and her bridal ensemble is not any exception. From her tailored Long Sleeve Satin Bolero Jacket to her Glitter Elongated Clutch, every accessory she selects is polished and striking.

Naturally, knowing each of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil using a flower comb underneath. The short tulle blusher blends Hollywood glam and metro chic. For the veil-phobic, the Pinwheel Feather Flower Clip with Rhinestone Center will be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is good for refined hairstyles requiring just a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color with their wedding wardrobes. All the rage right this moment: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, and that's 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 beyond a 5th Avenue boutique. Tres magnifique!

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, make sure they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, ensures they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, naturally, are important to the beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail doesn't 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 it is one inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of these brilliant categories, or are more the mix and match type, as long as you're true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
