The Guide of Wedding Accessories: Written from Salt Lake City

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing could be more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns that they can overlook the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create a general image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel can do. With a little bit of know-how, you can creatively coordinate your look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

The Classic

Pearls, veils and chignon chic. The classic bride knows what she wants. After all, she's been planning this wedding since that time she was obviously a girl! She keeps the subsequent tidy set of her bridal must-haves tucked away in their own credenza.

• Wrist Length Satin Glove. These simple matte satin wrist length gloves are timeless and chic.


• Fingertip Length Mantilla Veil. For those with deep, traditional roots. Perfect while using gloves.


• Cathedral length Veil. Another veil selection for classic brides. This elegant, 1 tier favorite could be the type she wanted.


• Pearl Set Accented with a Mix of Oval Shaped Crystals. Puts a modern day twist on the classic pearl set. The crystals add the ideal touch of "something new". Necklace and earring set.


• 3 Strand Pearl Nested Necklace. The quintessential bridal necklace.


• Ballet Flat with Bow. Simple, tasteful, comfortable and dyeable.


• Satin Handbag with Pleats and Rhinestone Keeper. This sophisticated dyeable handbag carries a silver shoulder chain for style and convenience.

Bohemian Chic

Flowing tresses, flowing dresses and flowers galore. This lady might be laid-back, and not in terms of her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will like the light, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding? Ward off the chill in boho-chic and animal friendly style with all the Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let hair down and accentuate your tresses while using 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 along the aisle in security in CeeCee flip-flops, having a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, choose a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent for 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.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is definitely on the technologically advanced 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 which has 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 is the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is good for refined hairstyles requiring simply 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, 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 want, make sure they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls of any age.

Shoes, of course, are very important to this 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 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 one inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these categories, or are more this mixture and match type, while you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
