Choosing Wedding Dresses and Bridal Accessories; Written in Bellevue

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the overall dish." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing is often more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns that they can overlook the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create a general image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will do. With a little bit of know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva as well as a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood.

For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, of course, are important to the 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 comes with a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for added glam power.

Embellishment spans 6 inches which is 1 " high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride.
