How to Buy Wedding Accessories for Your Dress: Written in Ventura, California

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

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate a total image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel can do. With a little little know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. 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 might be laid-back, but not in relation to 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 using the Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let nice 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 perfect touch of sparkle without getting overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, having a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, decide on 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 vogue with all the Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles a vintage heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and style for miles. This urban bride is always about the cutting 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 all 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 could be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is designed for refined hairstyles requiring simply a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color on their wedding wardrobes. All the rage right this moment: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, that is certainly 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 plus 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, ensures they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, of course, are essential to the 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 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 and is also one inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of them categories, or will be more a combination and match type, if you are true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
