How to Buy Unique Wedding Accessories; Written from Columbus, Ohio

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the overall dish." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing could be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns that they overlook the significance of 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 is going to do. With a little little know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate your look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they need, if they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy?

A must in each and every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, naturally, are necessary to this particular 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 includes 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 and is 1 " high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you fall into one of them categories, or tend to be this mixture and match type, as long as you're true to your very own style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
