Wedding Accessories Complete Your Look; Written in Odessa

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the big picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing may well be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns which they forget about the importance of 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 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 could possibly be laid-back, but not with regards to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will cherish the sunshine, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding?

Let your hair down and accentuate your tresses with 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 comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole as well as 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 fashion using 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 definitely for the technologically advanced 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 with 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 is the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is good for refined hairstyles requiring merely a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color on their wedding wardrobes. All the rage at this time: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, which is exactly 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 away 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 using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, make sure they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, needless to say, are important to this 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 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 is also one inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of these simple categories, or tend to be the mix and match type, if you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
