To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details produce the overall dish." Though Weill was likely discussing business, nothing may well be more accurate in terms of wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on their gowns which they forget about the need for details; namely, accessories.

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