Tips to Save Money on Your Wedding Accessories - Written in Oakville

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the real picture." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing may well be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns that they can neglect the significance of details; namely, accessories.

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

Let flowing 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 the best touch of sparkle without getting overdone.

Beach or mountaintop wedding? Walk around the aisle in peace of mind in CeeCee flip-flops, having a comfy cushioned wedge sole along with a shimmer of rhinestone detailing. Otherwise, decide on a Peep Toe d'Orsay heel which has a colorful floral print and rosette accent around the front face of the shoe. Carry your necessities in style with the Victorian Frame Bag.

Speaking of flowers, trendy brides everywhere are donning splashes of color on their wedding wardrobes. All the rage right now: big flowers. The modern maven wears the Flower Pin in crimson red.

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, means they are happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes the wintertime bride's trousseau. Next, obviously, is the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every single color for glamour girls of all ages.

Shoes, obviously, are 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 includes 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 1 " high, allowing her to be a true princess bride. Whether you get into one of these simple categories, or tend to be this mixture and match type, while you are true to your individual style, you'll look positively ravishing on "I do" day.
