Ideas for Choosing Unique Wedding Accessories- Written from Winnipeg, Manitoba

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make 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 own gowns that they ignore the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to make an overall image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will do. With a little bit of know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate your 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 might be laid-back, however, not when it comes to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will love the light, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding?

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 just the right touch of sparkle without having to be overdone.

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

Sleek lines, hot trends and type for miles. This urban bride is always about the innovative of fashion, and her bridal ensemble isn't 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 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 will be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is ideal for refined hairstyles requiring merely a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color for 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, which is 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 out of 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 with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, and as long as they get 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, obviously, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, naturally, are important for this 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 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 1 " high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of these simple categories, or tend to be the mix and match type, as long as you're true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
