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 create a general 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 easy to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.
