Wedding Accessories Guide- Written from Repentigny

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing is often more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns that they can ignore the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate 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's not hard to creatively coordinate your look. 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 in terms of her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will love the lighting, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding? Ward off the chill in boho-chic and animal friendly style with the Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

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 ideal touch of sparkle without being overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk around the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, which has a comfy cushioned wedge sole and a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, choose a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel which has a colorful floral print and rosette accent for the front face from the shoe. Carry your necessities in style with all 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 type for miles. This urban bride is always about the leading edge of fashion, and her bridal ensemble isn't 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 using 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 will be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is perfect for refined hairstyles requiring just a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color to their wedding wardrobes. All the rage right now: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, that is certainly only 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, if 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 the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, of course, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, obviously, are important to the 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 additional 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 " high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these brilliant categories, or will be more a combination and match type, while you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
