To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing could be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on the gowns which they ignore the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create a general image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will do. 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.

Bohemian Chic

Flowing tresses, flowing dresses and flowers galore. This lady may be laid-back, and not when it comes to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will love the light, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding? Ward off the chill in boho-chic and animal friendly style with all the Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let flowing 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 just the right touch of sparkle without having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk down the aisle in security in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole as well as a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, pick a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel using a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face in the shoe. Carry your necessities in vogue 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 on the leading edge 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 each of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil having 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 may be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is ideal for refined hairstyles requiring merely a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color for 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, which 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 and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, and as long as they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, needless to say, are essential 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 comes with 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 which is one inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of these simple categories, or will be more the mix and match type, as long as you're true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
