To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the main issue." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing could be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns which they ignore the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to produce a standard image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will perform. With a little amount 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 plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, if they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy?

A must in every single color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, naturally, are important to this particular 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 features a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for extra glam power.

Topping off this head-to-toe perfection: the Bridal Open Regal Style Tiara with Crystals.
