Ideas for Buying Unique Wedding Accessories- Written from Cape Breton

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the real picture." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing may well be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on the gowns they forget about the significance 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 can do. With a little bit of know-how, you can creatively coordinate your 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, but not in terms of 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 while using Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let flowing hair down and accentuate your tresses with 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 along the aisle in security in CeeCee flip-flops, which has a comfy cushioned wedge sole as well as a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, choose a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent about the front face with the shoe. Carry your necessities in fashion with all 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 definitely about the innovative 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 all 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 perfect for refined hairstyles requiring only 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, which is 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 and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, make sure they get 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, obviously, could be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, obviously, are very important to the 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 1 inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these simple categories, or are more this mixture and match type, as long as you're true to your very own style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
