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

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to generate an overall image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel can do. With a little little know-how, it is easy to creatively coordinate your look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.
