To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the main issue." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing could be more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns that they overlook the significance about details; namely, accessories.

With a little little know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate your look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

For this fashion forward bride, it's Cyndi by Coloriffics lace-up sandal with 3 1/2" heel. Looks straight from 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 all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, make sure they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, needless to say, are very important to this particular beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail doesn't disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and incorporates a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for added 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 which is 1 inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these categories, or will be more this mixture and match type, as long as you're true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
