Tips for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Dress; Written from North Bay, Ontario

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing could be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns which they neglect the significance about details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate a total image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will perform. With a little amount of know-how, it's easy to 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 would like. After all, she's been planning this wedding since she was a girl! She keeps the subsequent tidy set of her bridal must-haves tucked away in their credenza.

Bohemian Chic

Flowing tresses, flowing dresses and flowers galore. This lady could be laid-back, although not with regards to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will cherish the light, 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 hair down and accentuate your tresses while using 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 on the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, which has a comfy cushioned wedge sole and a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, pick a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent around the front face with the shoe. Carry your necessities in vogue using 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 definitely on the technologically advanced 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 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 will be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is ideal for refined hairstyles requiring only 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, 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 plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, and as long as they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, of course, are 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 comes with 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 is also one inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of them categories, or tend to be the mix and match type, while you are true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
