How to Select Unique Wedding Accessories: Written from Hampton, Virginia

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

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to make a total image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel can do. With a little amount of know-how, you can creatively coordinate your thing. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk down the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, having a comfy cushioned wedge sole as well as a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, decide on a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel which has a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face with the shoe. Carry your necessities in fashion using the Victorian Frame Bag.

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva as well as a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, if they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, ensures they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, obviously, are important to the 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 includes a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for additional 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 " high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these brilliant categories, or will be more a combination and match type, if you are true to your very own style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
