With all of the work that goes into planning a successful event, it's easy for those small details to sneak up on you towards the end. I've spent so much time thinking about the venue layout and song selections for our reception in January that I have yet to find bridal accessories.

I adore vintage-inspired pieces because they have a handmade look and nostalgic feel that is perfect for my rustic fiesta wedding. I'm looking for drop earrings or a sparkly headpiece that will complete my outfit, not take away from it. Plus, I want pieces that I can re-wear long after our big day has come and gone. 

Below, you'll find some of my favorite accessories to match the vibe of your wedding, whether it's glam or beachy. Don't be afraid to mix it up! Choose pieces that will help you feel like a million bucks.

Glam

You’re never afraid to steal the spotlight wherever you go—and your wedding is no exception. Try celebrity-inspired costume jewelry that shows off your glamorous side on your big day.

These sparkly earrings complement a chic up-do. If you want to give your dress that extra touch of twinkle, add a sash. This one has maximum shine without being over-the-top.

In most parts of the country, throwing a winter wedding is a gamble. A lot of people thought I was crazy for choosing a February date in New Jersey. Luckily, we were blessed with gorgeous weather on our wedding day — it snowed the following day! Here, the most important things I learned while planning my winter wedding:

You’ll Save Money — on Most Vendors
Since the winter isn’t a peak time to get married in most parts of the country, you can score some major discounts. We saved big on our venue, and we also got discounts on our photographer, videographer, DJ, and transportation. One area where we did not experience any savings: Flowers. Because there are fewer flowers in season, you may have to pay a premium or forego your first (or second or third) choice bloom. 

You’ll Need to Prepare for the Worst-Case Scenario
As a winter bride, you have to know the answer to the biggest question: what will you do if there’s a blizzard on your wedding day and no one can get there?

During one of Catching Fire’s pivotal moments, Peeta proposes to Katniss during a televised interview with Caesar Flickerman. But the scene didn’t go very smoothly during filming:

"I have proposed to Katniss," Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta, told MTV News. "Funny story: When we shot it, the actual proposal itself is done where you don't hear what we're saying, so I was just saying gibberish while I was proposing to her on one knee. Actually, the very first time I went to get down on one knee, my pants ripped right down the crotch. The worst thing that could happen when you're proposing to somebody is that your pants rip right down the crotch, and that's what happened to Peeta. So... he's doomed. He's doomed. Poor guy, he just can't catch a break."

Aww, poor Peeta! Tell us: What do you think is the worst possible thing that could happen during a proposal?
