To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the big picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing may well be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns they neglect the need for 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 do. 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.

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva along with a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged while using "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, and as long as they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy?

A must in most color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, needless to say, are important to the 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 comes with a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for added glam power.

This stunner features Swarovski rhinestone flowers and -bling heaven!- multi-size Swarovski accent rhinestones. Embellishment spans 6 inches and it is 1 inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride.
