A vintage wedding needs attention to detail. Additionally, Victorian wedding shoes may not be readily available in every store. Thus, here are ten Victorian style shoes for a bridesmaid.
Lace
Lace is an elegant detail that complements any Victorian style wedding. For pastel color bridesmaid dresses, try this lace kitten pump from Butter. The Butter Women’s Crackle-B Kitten Heel Pump is made in Italy and is ultra comfortable. Choose from a white or ivory lace covered shoe. It comes in whole and half sizes five to eleven. It costs $275.00.
Or try the ultra classy Stuart Weitzman Women’s Chantelle Peep Toe Lace Pump. This shoe has chantilly lace on the front of the shoe. It comes in gold, white, black or ivory for $375.00. Additionally, choose from whole and half sizes four to eleven and a half.

Brocade
Brocade gives a bridesmaid shoe a nice embellishment. The Martinez Valero Women’s Olivia Platform Pump has a white or ivory background with a raised brocade tapestry pattern. This shoe would be good for a bride too. These cost just under $160.00. Find this shoe at endless.com.
Give the Victorian look a modern update with the Coloriffics Women’s Pandora. This shoe has an understated silver brocade pattern on a silver background. Choose from whole and half sizes five to eleven. Purchase these at shoes.com for $60.00.
Boots
Give your wedding a truly authentic Victorian feel, with some Victorian boots. Try the Lace Victorian Ankle Boot from Funtasma. The ankle boots have a lace panel and come in black, gold or pink. I like the black the best. They come in sizes six to twelve and cost between 35.13 and $59.37.
If you want a higher boot, try the Ellie Shoes. These boots have lace on the sides and a 2.5-inch heel. They cost between $36.30 and $65.43 and come in whole sizes six to ten.

Marie Antoinette
Get one of a kind shoes on etsy.com. The Marie Antoinette Purple Satin painted shoes has silver designs with blooms and hummingbirds in a vintage purple satin. These cost $60.00 and there is only one left in stock. They are a size eight.
These shoes give a nod to Marie Antoinette. The Annette Adult Shoes are decorated with lace, tiny flowers and rhinestones. They come in sizes five to twelve. In addition, they have a fancy buckle and a 4.5-inch heel. They come in ivory, pink, black and blue. Depending on what color you want, they cost between $36.99 and $84.51. Find these at amazon.com.
Authentic Vintage
According to headoverheels.com, the shoes of the 1800s were “breathable” and “less structured.” While some of the above shoes have heels, they still embody the Victorian era. However, if you want to be truly authentic, then go to vintage stores. Websites such as 1860-1960.com sell unique shoes that were created especially during certain eras. These Early Black Silk Ribbon Lacing Ladies Straight Sole Shoes were actually someone’s wedding shoes from 1836. Purchase these or similar ones for around $250.
Take yourself back to the 1800s with these Edwardian slippers from the victoriantradingco.com. These are made from soft black leather and have a low heel. Only sizes six and seven are left. Purchase these for $69.95.
Whether your wedding is truly vintage Victorian or simply victorian style, one of these shoes are perfect for a bridesmaid.
