To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing may well be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they forget about the significance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to make a standard image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel is going to do. With a little bit of know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate your look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.
