To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the main issue." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing is often more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns that they forget about the importance of details; namely, accessories.

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