Wedding Accessories Complete Your Look: Written from Fort Lauderdale, Florida

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing may well be more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns that they ignore the significance about details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to produce a general image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel is going to do. With a little little bit of know-how, you can creatively coordinate your thing. 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 may be laid-back, although not in terms of her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will cherish the sunlight, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding?

Let flowing hair down and accentuate your tresses using 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 being overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk on 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, decide on a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel using a colorful floral print and rosette accent around the front face from the shoe. Carry your necessities in style with the Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles a well used heirloom piece.

Naturally, knowing each of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil with 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 may 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 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 only 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 the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, make sure they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes winter months bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, needless to say, are very important 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 additional 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 becoming a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these brilliant categories, or will be more the mix and match type, while you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
