How to Choosing Unique Wedding Accessories: Written from Newport News, Virginia

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing could be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they neglect the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to produce a total image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel is going to do. With a little bit of know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate your thing. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Summer bohemian brides will like the sunshine, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding?

Let flowing 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 peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, having a comfy cushioned wedge sole and a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, pick a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent around the front face of the shoe. Carry your necessities however you like with the Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles an antique heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is obviously for the innovative of fashion, and her bridal ensemble is no 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 using 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 simply a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color on their wedding wardrobes. All the rage at this time: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, and that is exactly 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 plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, if they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, could be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, obviously, are essential 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 features 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 which is 1 " high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these brilliant categories, or tend to be the mix and match type, while you are true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
