Wedding Accessories Guide; Written from Wood Buffalo

To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing is often more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns they neglect the significance of details; namely, accessories.

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