How to Select the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Dress, Written from Kamloops

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

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate a general image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will perform. With a little bit of know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate your thing. 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 enjoy the light, 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 your 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 perfect touch of sparkle without having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole and 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 with 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 well used heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is obviously for 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 each 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 is the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is good for refined hairstyles requiring only a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color for 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 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 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 desire, and as long as they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, ensures they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, of course, are necessary for this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail will not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and features 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 and is also one inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of them categories, or are more a combination and match type, as long as you're true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
