To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the overall dish." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing is often more accurate with regards to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns that they overlook the significance of details; namely, accessories.

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

For the veil-phobic, the Pinwheel Feather Flower Clip with Rhinestone Center may be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is designed 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 at this time: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red.

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 and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they need, and as long as they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, of course, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, needless to say, are very important for this 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 comes with 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 which is one inch high, allowing her to become true princess bride. Whether you get into one of these categories, or are more the mix and match type, while you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
