Ideas for Choosing Wedding Accessories for Your Dress: Written in Fort Worth, Texas

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the real picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing could be more accurate with regards to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns they overlook the importance of details; namely, accessories.

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

Let 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 being overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk down the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, having a comfy cushioned wedge sole and a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, choose a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel using a colorful floral print and rosette accent about 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.

Sleek lines, hot trends and magnificence for miles. This urban bride is obviously about 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 all of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil having 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 just a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color with 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, that is certainly 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 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 using the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, and as long as they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a stylish faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, could be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, of course, are important for this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail won't 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 is 1 inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these categories, or are more the amalgamation and match type, while you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
