Exclusive Angela Nuran Wedding Shoes




Finding fashionable AND comfortable weddings shoes are not easy. Our goal was to fill the void in the bridal shoe market by delivering high quality shoes with incomparable comfort and irresistible versatility. We are thrilled to introduce “Serafina” and  “Serendipity”  to The Left Bank Jewelry and Bridal Finery. These exclusive bridal shoes are made by the queen of comfortable wedding shoes, Angela Nuran. If brides are wearing two dresses, why can’t they have two shoes? With these styles you can choose a “Suite of Shoes” with one to walk down the aisle, one to dance the night away in.  Just want one super comfy wedding shoe? They are available separately- of course!  

               
                       The “Serafina” lace wedding shoe made in beautiful pale ivory French Chantilly lace with a pure silk heel. 
The “Serendipity” bridal shoe made in pale ivory Luxe Italian silk
   
The Low heeled wedding shoe is 2.5” heel and High Heel is a tres foot flattering d’orsay style pump with a 4.5” heel including a 1” hidden platform for ultra comfort.

                             
                                 

Both shoes offer the same fabulous features as Angela Nuran’s original comfortable wedding shoes which we all have all known and loved. Her signature ultra soft “pillow top” padding that is throughout the heel, arch and ball of the foot is cushioned providing superior comfort. All Angela Nuran wedding shoes have genuine suede soles which provide secure, non-slip traction. You can customize these shoes by embellishing them with Angela Nuran’s custom buckle styles or  with a fun shoe clip. They can be bedazzled with gorgeous Swarovski crystals. These beautiful wedding shoes can also be dyed to any color of your desire to create a truly-one-of-a-kind shoe.


The “Serafina” lace wedding shoe dyed black makes a fabulous leg flattering black pump. Why not dye your shoes after your wedding?

Wedge Wedding Shoes



For a couple of years, there’s been a definite void in the wedding shoe arena for wedding wedges.
Thanks to Benjamin Adams London, we have two new styles that are utterly beautiful wedding wedges. Most of us all love strappy sandals and high heel kicks, but when you need to wear them nearly the entire day of your wedding, it’s not the best choice…especially if you’re having a beach wedding  or a beautiful garden wedding where the pavement and surface areas can be a challenge.

Benjamin Adams London has two new styles of wedding wedges; The “Helen”, which is a sleek all silk wedge with a beautiful crystal embellishment.  This style can also be dyed to any colors. Do you want your wedding shoes to match your bridesmaids color or your wedding bouquet?  We can do this for you, just name the color!  Next up is the “Emma”, a gorgeous fully bedazzled wedding wedge.  Both are just incredible wedding wedge options, so no need to sacrifice the glamour when you love the feel, comfort and coziness of a wedge shoe. Available at www.LeftBankJewelry.com
Say "I Do" In These Gorgeous Benjamin Adams Wedge Wedding Shoes!
The "Helen" By Benjamin Adams London $249 available at www.LeftBankBridal.com
  

The Fabulous "Emma" Bedazzled Wedding Wedge By Benjamin Adams London $449 and with a Free Clutch!
