Wedding Accessories Complete Your Look; Written from Milwaukee

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the overall dish." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing is often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they neglect the significance about 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 little know-how, it is 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 in relation 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 with all the Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let hair down and accentuate your tresses using the Bridal Set of Four Gardenia Flower Hair Coils. These small satin gardenias accented with delicate sprays of Swarovski crystal rhinestones add just the right touch of sparkle without getting overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk around the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole plus a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, opt for a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel which has a colorful floral print and rosette accent about the front face from the shoe. Carry your necessities in style 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 style for miles. This urban bride is always around the innovative of fashion, and her bridal ensemble is no 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 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 will be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is designed 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, and that 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 away from 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 need, make sure 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 winter months bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, of course, are essential for this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail won't disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and features 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 fall under one of these categories, or will be more the amalgamation and match type, as long as you're true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
