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

With a little bit of know-how, it's easy to creatively coordinate your thing. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.
