OP 15/10 made this historical nerd rage so hard. neither of those monstrosities you posted is remotely victorian.

first off, you keep using "victorian"....it does not mean what you think it means. there are several distinct periods of style within the victorian era, and are defined by skirt shape/bustle/hoop size:
(source: Truly Victorian pattern website, http://trulyvictorian.com/history.html )

>Pre-hoop 1840-1855
>Hoop 1856-1869
>Early Bustle 1869-1876
>Natural Form 1877-1882
>Late Bustle 1883-1889
>1890's

if you can't bother to do 30 seconds of googling to figure out that ZOMG VICTORIAN is actually a bunch of TOTALLY different silhouettes and styles, then you shouldn't even bother trying to have a victorian wedding.
