How to Save Money on Your Wedding Accessories, Written in New Haven

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing is often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on the gowns they neglect the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create a total 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 your look. 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 may be laid-back, however, not with regards to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will cherish the sunshine, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding? Ward off the chill in boho-chic and animal friendly style while using Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let flowing 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 ideal touch of sparkle without having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, choose a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel using a colorful floral print and rosette accent about the front face of the shoe. Carry your necessities in style 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 style for miles. This urban bride is definitely on the technologically advanced of fashion, and her bridal ensemble is not any exception.

Naturally, knowing all of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil having 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 could 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 for their wedding wardrobes. All the rage today: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, and that is just 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 out of a 5th Avenue boutique. Tres magnifique!

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva along with a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, make sure they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, of course, could be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, of course, are very important for this 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 incorporates 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 which is one inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you fall into one of these categories, or tend to be the mix and match type, if you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
