Wedding 101 Radio Show

Susan Metropoulous, owner of The Left Bank Jewelry & Bridal Finery was recently interviewed on David Rothstein's Wedding 101 Radio Show.

It's the most common statement we get here ....
"How do I shop for my wedding accessories without my gown?"

Well, there are certainly a lot of choices now when it comes to wedding accessories and we realize it can be overwhelming.  The Left Bank Jewelry & Bridal Finery has a team of professional stylists that can help you pull your wedding day style together for you. Whether you live near our boutique or afar, we are happy to help you out.

A few do's & don'ts for wedding accessory shopping;

1. Don't shop last minute.   

2.  Don't necessarily go by your wedding date, but when you want everything in your hands. 

3.  Break your shoes in before your wedding so they actually mold to your feet. 

4.  Never be influenced by other people.  Try not to bring the "entourage" shopping with you. As nice as it is to get other opinions, make sure that you are happy with your own choice.  Take their advice on board of course, but always go with what YOU feel most comfortable on and what reflects your personal style.

Today, The Left Bank Jewelry & Bridal Finery has evolved into a petite haven for French-inspired gifts and a must-stop for brides shopping for beautiful wedding shoes, like those from Angela Nuran,  and bridal accessories, such as earrings, bracelets, cuffs and hair pieces.
