How to Select the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Gown- Written in Dayton, Ohio

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing is often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns they forget about the significance about 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 do. With a little little bit of know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate your look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk on the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole as well as a shimmer of rhinestone detailing.

This large, feathery accent is perfect for refined hairstyles requiring simply a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color for 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, 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 while using "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, make sure they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, could be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, naturally, are important to this particular 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 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 and it is one inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you fall into one of them categories, or are more the amalgamation and match type, as long as you're true to your very own style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
