How to Select the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Gown: Written from Omaha

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the big picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing is often more accurate with regards to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns that they can overlook the significance about details; namely, accessories.

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

The Classic

Pearls, veils and chignon chic. The classic bride knows what she wants. After all, she's been planning this wedding ever since she was obviously a girl! She keeps the subsequent tidy set of her bridal must-haves hidden in their own credenza.

• Wrist Length Satin Glove. These simple matte satin wrist length gloves are timeless and elegant.


• Fingertip Length Mantilla Veil. For those with deep, traditional roots. Perfect with all the gloves.


• Cathedral length Veil. Another veil option for classic brides. This elegant, 1 tier favorite may be the type she dreamed about.


• Pearl Set Accented with a Mix of Oval Shaped Crystals. Puts a modern day twist on the classic pearl set. The crystals add the ideal touch of "something new". Necklace and earring set.


• 3 Strand Pearl Nested Necklace. The quintessential bridal necklace.


• Ballet Flat with Bow. Simple, tasteful, comfortable and dyeable.


• Satin Handbag with Pleats and Rhinestone Keeper. This sophisticated dyeable handbag includes a silver shoulder chain for style and convenience.

Bohemian Chic

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

Let hair down and accentuate your tresses with all 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 having to be overdone.

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

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is obviously for the innovative of fashion, and her bridal ensemble isn't 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 all of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil with 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 may be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is perfect 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 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 away 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 want, if 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 bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, obviously, are important to the 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 additional 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 true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these simple categories, or tend to be the amalgamation and match type, while you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
