The Guide of Wedding Accessories- Written in Fort Collins, Colorado

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the main issue." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing could be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns which they forget about 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 amount of know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva along with a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, make sure they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy?

A must in every single color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, of course, are necessary to this particular 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 incorporates a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for really glam power.
