Guide of Wedding Accessories; Written in Augusta

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the overall dish." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing could be more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns that they can ignore the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate an overall image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will perform. With a little little bit of know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. 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 possibly be laid-back, but 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 with all the Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let 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 just the right touch of sparkle without getting overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in security in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, opt for a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel which has a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face with the shoe. Carry your necessities however you like 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 type for miles. This urban bride is always on the leading edge 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 each of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil using 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 perfect for refined hairstyles requiring simply a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color for 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, 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 from a 5th Avenue boutique. Tres magnifique!

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva as well as a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, make sure they have 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, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, needless to say, are important to the beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail doesn't disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for additional 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 to become true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these categories, or are more the amalgamation and match type, if you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
