To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the overall dish." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing are often more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on the gowns which they ignore the significance about details; namely, accessories.

With a little little know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Let your hair down and accentuate your tresses while using Bridal Set of Four Gardenia Flower Hair Coils. These small satin gardenias accented with delicate sprays of Swarovski crystal rhinestones add the best touch of sparkle without being overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, having a comfy cushioned wedge sole as well as a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, choose a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face of the shoe. Carry your necessities in vogue while using Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles a well used heirloom piece.

Naturally, knowing all 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 is the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is good for refined hairstyles requiring only 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.

For this fashion forward bride, it's Cyndi by Coloriffics lace-up sandal with 3 1/2" heel. Looks straight beyond 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 understand 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 bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, needless to say, are essential to this particular 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 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 one inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these simple categories, or tend to be this mixture and match type, if you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
