How to Buy Wedding Accessories for Your Dress- Written in Waterbury, Connecticut

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the real 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 the gowns they forget about the need for details; namely, accessories.

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

Let hair down and accentuate your tresses with all the Bridal Set of Four Gardenia Flower Hair Coils. These small satin gardenias accented with delicate sprays of Swarovski crystal rhinestones add the perfect touch of sparkle without being overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk down the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, which has a comfy cushioned wedge sole as well as a shimmer of rhinestone detailing.

Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles a well used heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and type for miles. This urban bride is usually about the technologically advanced 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 every one of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil having 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 will be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is ideal for refined hairstyles requiring only a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color for 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, that is certainly only 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 from a 5th Avenue boutique. Tres magnifique!

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, if they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, obviously, are very important for this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail won't 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 1 inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of them categories, or tend to be this mixture and match type, if you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
