Ideas for Coordinating Wedding Accessories: Written from Terrebonne, Quebec

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

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