Tips for Choosing Wedding Accessories; Written in Gatineau

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the overall dish." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing could be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns that they can forget about the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate an overall image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel will perform. With a little bit of know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate your thing. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.
