Choosing Wedding Accessories, Written from Tallahassee

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the overall dish." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing could be more accurate with regards to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns which they forget about the importance of details; namely, accessories.

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