To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the overall dish." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing could be more accurate in terms of wedding style.

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