How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Accessories for Your Dress: Written from Hollywood, Florida

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the real picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing is often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they forget about the need for 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 will do. With a little bit of know-how, you can creatively coordinate 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, and not in terms of her wedding style. Summer bohemian brides will cherish the lighting, breathable Solid Pashmina Wrap. Winter wedding?

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 ideal touch of sparkle without being overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk along the aisle in security in CeeCee flip-flops, with a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, opt for a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel using a colorful floral print and rosette accent on the front face in 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.

Sleek lines, hot trends and magnificence for miles. This urban bride is usually for 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 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 good for refined hairstyles requiring only a single flower.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color to 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, which is 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 from 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 need, make sure they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, ensures they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a sophisticated faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter months bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, will be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, needless to say, are very important to this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail will not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and comes with a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for added 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 be a true princess bride. Whether you belong to one of these brilliant categories, or tend to be more a combination and match type, if you are true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
