To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the real picture." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing are often more accurate with regards to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns that they forget about the need for details; namely, accessories.

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

Summer bohemian brides will cherish the light, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding?

Let nice hair down and accentuate your tresses using 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 having to be overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk down the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole and a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, choose a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent around the front face of 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 well used heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and style for miles. This urban bride is obviously about the leading edge of fashion, and her bridal ensemble is no 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 ideal for refined hairstyles requiring merely a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color with 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 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 desire, make sure they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes winter months bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, needless to say, are necessary 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 features 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 one inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these categories, or tend to be more the mix and match type, while you are true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
