Wedding Accessories Complete Your Look- Written from New York

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing is often more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns which they overlook the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create a general image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will do. With a little bit of know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. 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 plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged while using "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, and as long as they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy?

A must in every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, obviously, are very important to the beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail will not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for really glam power.
