To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the real picture." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing could be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns which they ignore the need for details; namely, accessories.

With a little amount of know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Let flowing hair down and accentuate your tresses with 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 being overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole plus a shimmer of rhinestone detailing.

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 as well as a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they need, make sure they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, naturally, are necessary 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 incorporates 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 1 inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of these simple categories, or will be more a combination and match type, if you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
