How to Select the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Gown: Written from Minneapolis

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the main issue." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing is often more accurate with regards to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns which they overlook 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 do. With a little amount 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 be laid-back, although not in relation to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will like the lighting, 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 nice hair down and accentuate your tresses with 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 having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, which has a comfy cushioned wedge sole plus a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, opt for a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel using a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face of the shoe. Carry your necessities in fashion while using 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 style for miles. This urban bride is always on the leading 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 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 could be 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 on their wedding wardrobes. All the rage right now: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, which is exactly 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 along with a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they need, if they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, could 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 to this 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 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 which is one inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these categories, or tend to be more the amalgamation and match type, if you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
