Choosing Wedding Accessories, Written from Peoria, Arizona

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the big picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing may well be more accurate with regards to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns which they neglect the importance 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 is going to do. With a little little bit of know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate your thing. 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, and not when it comes to her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will enjoy the sunlight, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding? Ward off the chill in boho-chic and animal friendly style with all the Satin Mid-Length Cape with Faux Fur Trim.

Let 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 around the aisle in comfort in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole plus a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, pick a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel having a colorful floral print and rosette accent about the front face in the shoe. Carry your necessities in fashion while using Victorian Frame Bag. Rich with detailed beading, this convertible (with chain strap) clutch closely resembles a well used heirloom piece.

Modern Maven

Sleek lines, hot trends and magnificence for miles. This urban bride is usually 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 every one of the latest trends, she pairs the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil which has 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 could 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 on their wedding wardrobes. All the rage right this moment: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red. This bold eye-catcher defies traditional wedding style rules, and that's 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 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 desire, if they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, ensures they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in most color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, of course, are important to the 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 comes with 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 also 1 inch high, allowing her to become a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these simple categories, or tend to be more the mix and match type, as long as you're true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
