    Please can anyone help to date this?
    The flowers are all made of wax and the veil is small c2ft x 2ft 6”.
    I’ve seen a similar shoe on eBay saying 1920s but no idea if that is correct. There is even some confetti from the big day!
    Thanks for looking :)

    1930s plus or minus a decade would be my guess.

    Did you get this in an auction lot? Fun to see all of these items together.

    I'd agree on 30s ish with that heel on them. The shape was revived in the 80s, I've still got shoes bought at the time.

    Yes, I bought an auction lot of jewellery and these came along for the ride. Not something I have any knowledge of at all but as you say, rather lovely that they have stayed together. Not sure if there are collectors of this sort of thing but I will soon find out!.

    Think that's a 1920s shoe. Can you post a close-up of shoe alone from top so we can get a better look?

    Oh, and what's the shape of the veil?

    Kitten heel. Come in and out of fashion. Popular in early 1960s too.

    I sold bridal for years, and there is definitely a market! :)

    I'd say 1920s based on the shoes. My grandmother wore white ones in her 1921 wedding photo, and wax flowers are dead bang for the 1920s too. The veil shape may tell the tale. And there's definitely a market; if that showed up on line it would be gone-zo. I've sold odds and sods of pre-WWII wedding stuff before and it always finds a home.

    1920s shoes all right. The veil could even be earlier.

    Yes, 1920s shoes. Long and narrow.
