To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the main issue." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing could be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns which they ignore the significance of details; namely, accessories.

But not just any veil or satin heel is going to do. With a little little know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate your thing. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

They know what they want, make sure they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, of course, are very important to this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail does not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and comes with 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 1 inch high, allowing her to become true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these categories, or will be more this mixture and match type, while you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
