To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details make the big picture." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing is often more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they neglect the significance about details; namely, accessories.

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