Unique Wedding Accessories for Making Traditional Contemporary Weddings: Written from Simi Valley

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing are often more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns they neglect the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create an overall 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 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 could be laid-back, however, not when it comes 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 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 having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole as well as a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, choose a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent around the front face from the shoe. Carry your necessities in fashion with the 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 magnificence for miles. This urban bride is obviously around the cutting edge 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 every one of 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 could be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is ideal for refined hairstyles requiring just a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color with 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, that is certainly 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 and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, and as long as they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes winter months bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, naturally, are necessary 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 includes 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 is also 1 inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these brilliant categories, or tend to be the amalgamation and match type, as long as you're true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
