Tips for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Dress, Written from Mesa

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the big picture." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing is often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns which they neglect the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to produce an overall 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 thing. 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, however, not in terms of her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will cherish the lighting, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding? Ward off the chill in boho-chic and animal friendly style using 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 the ideal touch of sparkle without having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring 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 for the front face in the shoe. Carry your necessities in fashion with the Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles a well used heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and type for miles. This urban bride is obviously around the cutting 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 every one of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil using 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 will be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is ideal for refined hairstyles requiring only a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color on 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, which is exactly 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 beyond 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 using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, and as long as they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, naturally, are necessary to this 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 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 it is one inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these simple categories, or tend to be the amalgamation and match type, while you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
