To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing could be more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns which they neglect the importance 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 do. With a little little know-how, you can creatively coordinate look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Let nice 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 ideal touch of sparkle without getting overdone.

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

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and type for miles. This urban bride is obviously for the innovative of fashion, and her bridal ensemble is no 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 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 could 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 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's 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 away 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 all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, and as long as they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes winter months bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, obviously, are necessary for 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 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 and is also one inch high, allowing her to become true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these brilliant categories, or tend to be more the mix and match type, if you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
