It's finally that time...Prince Charming has ridden into your life on his strong, white steed and swept you (quite literally) off your feet. Now the madness begins and your days are filled with endless decision making and drama. Who to invite, what type of flowers, what color bridesmaid dresses, etc. Nothing seems to come easy and the last thing you need to worry about are the minor, minor details. Such as how to accessorize yourself and those in your wedding party. Which is why I'm here to make your life easy and break it down into five simple categories...

1. You can't, ever, go wrong with pearls. They are a timeless and classic piece that matches well with any color dress and always looks classy and chic. If your bridesmaids are wearing teal with black squares (which I highly recommend you avoid), pearls will still look stunning. Pearls are also a lovely piece for you, dear bride. As they look wonderful with white, ivory, what have you. If you follow the old adage of something old, something new...see if one of the matriarchs of your family has a vintage strand of pearls for you to wear. There is nothing more elegant or sophisticated, and you can also find out the history too!

    

2. Sterling silver jewelry is another winner when it comes to accessorizing your crew. The groomsmen can be adorned with sterling silver cuff links, while the ladies can wear simple silver hoops and bangles. Sterling silver is also a great gift to give your wedding party in order to say, "thanks for being there," without putting an even larger dent in your wallets.

    

3. Cubic Zirconias always work for the ladies in your party, too. Unfortunately, not all of us are blessed enough to be able to afford diamonds for our wedding crew, so Cubic Zirconias are a tasty and sparkling substitute. Purchase a pair of dazzling Cubic Zirconia Chandelier Earrings for the bridesmaids. This is a piece that they surely will be able to wear again in the future for a night out on the town. For your little flower girl, keep it simple with plain Cubic Zirconia stud earrings, even though she may think she is a grown-up already.

    

4. The groomsmen are a tough crowd that can't be won over simply by sparkling accessories or a great pair of shoes. A classy and versatile gift for the manly men of your party is a simple, sterling silver money clip. This is a great gift as it can be worn and used every day, and if you buy it with Rhodium-plating, the clip will have extra shine and durability.

    

5. We're absolutely positive that you will have a Charming happily ever after. Which brings me to the topic of charms! Charms are topping the billboards as accessory of the year, and although you probably won't want your leading ladies to wear charms at the ceremony. A lovely little gift to your participators could be a sterling silver charm of a bride and groom. Or perhaps a sterling silver charm of two clinking wine glasses. A nice little memento of the times you shared together and a special thanks to each of them for participating in your big day.
