To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the real picture." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing may well be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on the gowns that they forget about the importance of details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create 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 is easy to creatively coordinate your lifestyle. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.
