To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing may well be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns that they can overlook the significance about details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to make a total image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will perform. With a little little bit of know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate 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 be laid-back, although not with regards to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will love the light, 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 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 best touch of sparkle without being overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk down the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole plus a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, opt for a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel which has a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face of the shoe. Carry your necessities in style with the Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles an antique heirloom piece.

Sleek lines, hot trends and type for miles. This urban bride is obviously for the leading edge of fashion, and her bridal ensemble is not any exception. From her tailored Long Sleeve Satin Bolero Jacket to her Glitter Elongated Clutch, every accessory she selects is polished and striking.

Naturally, knowing each of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil having 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 designed for refined hairstyles requiring only a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color with their wedding wardrobes. All the rage today: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, and that's just 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 beyond a 5th Avenue boutique. Tres magnifique!

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva as well as a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they need, make sure they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, obviously, are necessary to this particular beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail doesn't disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and incorporates a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for really 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 inch high, allowing her to become true princess bride. Whether you belong to 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.
