Tips for Choosing Wedding Accessories: Written in Lévis, Quebec

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the main issue." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing could be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they neglect the significance about 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 is going to do. With a little bit of know-how, it is easy 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 could possibly be laid-back, but not in terms of her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will love the lighting, 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 all 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 around the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole as well as a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, opt for a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel with a colorful floral print and rosette accent around 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 an antique heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and elegance for miles. This urban bride is always about 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 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 will 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 with 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 beyond 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 with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they need, make sure they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, of course, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, naturally, are necessary to this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail does not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes 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 it is one inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you fall under one of these categories, or will be more the mix and match type, if you are true to your own personal style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
