Ideas for Coordinating Wedding Accessories: Written from Abbotsford

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the main issue." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing could be more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on the gowns which they forget about the need for 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 can do. With a little bit of know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate your look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

• Cathedral length Veil. Another veil selection for classic brides. This elegant, 1 tier favorite is the type she dreamed about.

Bohemian Chic

Flowing tresses, flowing dresses and flowers galore. This lady could be laid-back, and not in relation to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will enjoy the sunlight, 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 flowing hair down and accentuate your tresses with all 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 getting overdone.

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

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is definitely around the innovative of fashion, and her bridal ensemble isn't 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 every one 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 just a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color with 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 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 and a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, and as long as they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, of course, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, of course, are important to the beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail will not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and features 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 one inch high, allowing her to become true princess bride. Whether you get into one of them categories, or are more the mix and match type, if you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
