To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the real picture." Though Weill was likely referring to business, nothing could be more accurate in relation to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on the gowns that they can neglect the need for details; namely, accessories.

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