To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely talking about business, nothing is often more accurate with regards to wedding style.

With a little little know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.
