Tips for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Gown, Written from Niagara Falls

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the main issue." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing is often more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns which they forget about the significance about details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to make a general 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 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 possibly be laid-back, but not in relation to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will enjoy the lighting, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding?

Let your 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 best touch of sparkle without getting overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk on the aisle in security in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole and a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, decide on a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent around the front face in the shoe. Carry your necessities in vogue using the Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles an antique heirloom piece.

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

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color for 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, that is certainly 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 along with a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, if they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, obviously, are very 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 incorporates 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 these categories, or tend to be more this mixture and match type, while you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
