With a little little 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 might be laid-back, however, not in terms of 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 nice 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 getting overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk down the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, featuring a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, decide on a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel with a colorful floral print and rosette accent about the front face of the shoe. Carry your necessities in style 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 obviously about the cutting edge of fashion, and her bridal ensemble is not 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 each 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 could 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 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 out of 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 the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, make sure they obtain it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, a classy faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, needless to say, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, naturally, are important for 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 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 it is 1 inch high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you fall into one of them categories, or tend to be the mix and match type, while you are true to your own private style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
