Ideas for Choosing Wedding Accessories for Your Dress - Written in Victoria

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the main issue." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing could be more accurate with regards to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns that they can ignore the significance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to produce an overall image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will do. With a little little 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.

Bohemian Chic

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

Let your 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 having to be overdone.

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

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is usually on the leading edge 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 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 ideal for refined hairstyles requiring merely a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color on their wedding wardrobes. All the rage right now: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, and that's 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 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 with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they desire, and as long as they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, needless to say, are necessary 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 extra 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 a true princess bride. Whether you fall into one of these categories, or will be more the amalgamation and match type, while you are true to your very own style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
