To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the real picture." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing is often more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns they neglect the need for details; namely, accessories.

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