Brides often focus so intently on their own gowns that they forget about the significance of 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 will do. With a little little know-how, it's not hard to creatively coordinate look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.
