Ideas for Choosing Unique Wedding Accessories - Written from North Charleston

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the big picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing could be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns which they ignore the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create a total image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will do. With a little bit of know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate look. 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 may be laid-back, however, not when it comes 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 your hair down and accentuate your tresses while using Bridal Set of Four Gardenia Flower Hair Coils. These small satin gardenias accented with delicate sprays of Swarovski crystal rhinestones add the best touch of sparkle without having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk on the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, choose a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel using a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face from the shoe. Carry your necessities in fashion using the Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles an antique heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and type for miles. This urban bride is definitely around the leading edge of fashion, and her bridal ensemble isn't 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 which has 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 is the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is ideal for refined hairstyles requiring simply a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color to 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, and that 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 beyond 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, if they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, could be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, naturally, are important to 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 incorporates a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for added 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 one inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of them categories, or will be more a combination and match type, as long as you're true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
