To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing is often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns which they neglect the need for details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create an overall image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel can 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.
