Tips for Choosing Wedding Accessories for Your Dress - Written in Brownsville

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the real picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing is often more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns which they ignore the importance of 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 can do. With a little bit of know-how, you can creatively coordinate your lifestyle. 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 with regards to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will like the sunshine, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding?

Let flowing hair down and accentuate your tresses with all 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 having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk on the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole and a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, decide on a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel using a colorful floral print and rosette accent about the front face in the shoe. Carry your necessities in style while using Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles a well used heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is definitely 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 every one of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil having 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 perfect for refined hairstyles requiring only a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color to 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, which is just 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 beyond a 5th Avenue boutique. Tres magnifique!

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva along with a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they need, and as long as they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes winter months bride's trousseau. Next, of course, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, of course, are very important to this particular beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail won't disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes 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 1 inch high, allowing her to become true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these categories, or tend to be more a combination and match type, as long as you're true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
