Wedding Accessories Guide: Written in Vancouver

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the big picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing may well be more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on the gowns which they overlook the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate a general image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will perform. With a little little bit of know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. 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, however, not in terms of her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will like the sunshine, 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 your hair down and accentuate your tresses while using 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 down the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, pick a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel using a colorful floral print and rosette accent for the front face from 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 classic heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is obviously around the leading edge of fashion, and her bridal ensemble isn't 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 the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil with 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 designed for refined hairstyles requiring just a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color to their wedding wardrobes. All the rage today: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, and that 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 plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, and as long as they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes winter months bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, obviously, are important to this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail does not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and features a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for really 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 it is 1 inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you fall into one of these categories, or are more the mix and match type, if you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
