Tips for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Dress, Written in Guelph

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the main issue." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing may well be more accurate with regards to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they ignore the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to make a total image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel is going to do. With a little amount of know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. 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 since she was a girl! She keeps the next tidy report on her bridal must-haves saved in her own credenza.

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

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


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

Bohemian Chic

Flowing tresses, flowing dresses and flowers galore. This lady may be laid-back, although not in terms of her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will like the sunshine, 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 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 getting overdone.

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

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and type for miles. This urban bride is always for the cutting edge 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 which has 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 simply a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color on 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, which is 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 out of 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 using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, and as long as 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 wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, of course, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, needless to say, are very important to the 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 and it is 1 inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of them categories, or tend to be more the mix and match type, if you are true to your very own style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
