Tips for Choosing Unique Wedding Accessories, Written from Fargo

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the main issue." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing could be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns that they overlook the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate a general image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel can 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.

Bohemian Chic

Flowing tresses, flowing dresses and flowers galore. This lady could be laid-back, however, not when it comes to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will cherish 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 hair down and accentuate your tresses using the 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 being overdone.

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

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and style for miles. This urban bride is obviously around the leading edge of fashion, and her bridal ensemble is not any 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 using 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 may be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is perfect for refined hairstyles requiring simply a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color for their wedding wardrobes. All the rage today: 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 as well as a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, and as long as they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, obviously, are very important to this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail will not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for extra 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 be a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these simple categories, or are more a combination and match type, while you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
