The Guide of Wedding Accessories: Written from Gainesville

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing is often more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns they neglect the significance about details; namely, accessories.

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

Pearls, veils and chignon chic. The classic bride knows what she wants. After all, she's been planning this wedding from the time she was obviously a girl! She keeps the next tidy listing of her bridal must-haves hidden in her 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 using the gloves.


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


• Pearl Set Accented which has a Mix of Oval Shaped Crystals. Puts a contemporary twist about the classic pearl set. The crystals add the perfect 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 features a silver shoulder chain for style and convenience.

Bohemian Chic

Flowing tresses, flowing dresses and flowers galore. This lady could possibly be laid-back, but not when it comes to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will love the sunshine, 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 your 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 getting overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk on the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, which has 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 about the front face from the shoe. Carry your necessities in fashion 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 type for miles. This urban bride is always about the technologically advanced 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 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 will be the perfect option. This large, feathery accent is good for refined hairstyles requiring only a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color for 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's 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 away from a 5th Avenue boutique. Tres magnifique!

Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva along with a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with 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, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in each and every color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, needless to say, are necessary to the 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 comes with a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for really 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 also one inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these simple categories, or tend to be the mix and match type, if you are true to your very own style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
