The Guide of Wedding Accessories - Written from Boise

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

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