To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing are often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they overlook the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create a standard image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel is going to do. With a little bit of know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. 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 want, if they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy?

A must in most color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, naturally, are necessary 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 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.

Embellishment spans 6 inches and is 1 " high, allowing her to become true princess bride.
