Tips for Choosing Wedding Accessories: Written from Clinton

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the big picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing is often more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns that they can ignore the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to produce a standard image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel can do. With a little little know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

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 right this moment: big flowers.

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they need, if they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, of course, are very important to 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 features a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for added 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 which is one inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these categories, or will be more the amalgamation and match type, if you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
