How to Choosing Unique Wedding Accessories, Written from Durham

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the big picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing is often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on the gowns that they can overlook the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate an overall image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel is going to do. With a little little know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate your 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 might be laid-back, however, not in terms of her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will like the sunlight, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding? Ward off the chill in boho-chic and animal friendly style with the Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let hair down and accentuate your tresses using the Bridal Set of Four Gardenia Flower Hair Coils. These small satin gardenias accented with delicate sprays of Swarovski crystal rhinestones add the perfect touch of sparkle without getting overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk around the aisle in security in CeeCee flip-flops, having a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, opt for a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent about the front face in the shoe. Carry your necessities in style with 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 magnificence for miles. This urban bride is obviously for the cutting 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 all the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil which has 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 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 right this moment: 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 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 desire, make sure they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, ensures they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes winter months bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, obviously, are very important 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 features 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 become a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of these brilliant categories, or are more a combination and match type, while you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
