How to Select the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Dress: Written from Concord

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the overall dish." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing could be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns that they forget about the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create a standard image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will perform. With a little amount of know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate your look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, and as long as they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, of course, are very important to this particular 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 really 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 1 " high, allowing her to become true princess bride.
