Choosing Wedding Dresses and Bridal Accessories; Written from El Monte, California

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the overall dish." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing are often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they ignore the significance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to make a standard 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 your thing. 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 ideal touch of sparkle without having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk around the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole and a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, opt for a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face of the shoe. Carry your necessities in style while using Victorian Frame Bag.

For the veil-phobic, the Pinwheel Feather Flower Clip with Rhinestone Center could be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is good for refined hairstyles requiring simply a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color on their wedding wardrobes. All the rage at this time: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, and that is just 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 as well as 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, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, of course, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, naturally, are necessary to this particular 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 comes with 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 and is also 1 inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you fall into one of them categories, or tend to be the amalgamation and match type, if you are true to your very own style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
