Unless you live under a rock, you might know that Bridgerton is one of the most popular Netflix shows being raved about on the Internet right now. It’s so popular that people are styling their homes, outfits, and weddings to match the elegant, Regency-era theme of Bridgerton. 

Whether you’re more of a Penelope or a Daphne, the beauty of our venue is that you can customize your wedding to your colors and style! Our grand hall allows for an elegant presence that’s perfect for a Bridgerton wedding theme. 

But let’s get into the specifics of how to pull this Regency-era elegance off.

Our Top 5 Tips for Implementing a Bridgerton Wedding Theme

1. Set the tone with Bridgerton themed invitations

This is perhaps one of the easiest ways to infuse some Bridgerton family into your wedding experience! Set the tone with exquisite invitations that incorporate elegant calligraphy, custom wax seals, and vintage touches. Including a floral motif or a custom-designed monogram can add an extra touch of sophistication. Consider working with a local calligrapher to pull your vision to life, or if you need support with some of the smaller details, you can look around for custom crafts. We love Emily from Golden Hour Live Art and her calligraphy and live painting work, plus she’s local to the Austin area! These custom wax seal stamps on Etsy are the perfect example of how you can infuse your love story into your invitation suite.

2. Encourage your guests to dress to the theme

For your wedding party, think empire-waist gowns for women and tailored suits with waistcoats for men. Brides could consider gowns with lace, delicate embroidery, or floral elements. Grooms could consider classic tailcoats, and even top hats for extra credit points. Consider providing your guests with suggestions for costume rentals if you want to have everyone look the part.

While you can have your guests go all-out with Regency-inspired fashion, it’s not fully necessary to pull off an elegant Bridgerton wedding theme. Encourage your guests to wear florals, pastels, silk, or puffy sleeves. All of these elements can be easily found in local boutiques or large department stores, so the look will feel easier to achieve.

3. Flowers, flowers, flowers.

It really could not be a Bridgerton wedding theme without flowers – everywhere. If you’ve seen Bridgerton, you know flowers played a significant role in Regency-era parties and decor, so it’s essential that you incorporate florals in some way. 

Incorporating soft pastels, lush greenery, and flowy arrangements can help you achieve this look. Some flowers to consider are peonies, wisteria, and roses. Bringing these elements together will create a romantic, beautiful feel for your wedding. Want recommendations for florists that can pull off this aesthetic?

4. Create an immersive ballroom experience. 

Weddings are all about creating a tailored experience that’s unique to you and your partner! We always encourage our clients to incorporate thoughtful details that feel authentic to them. 

Consider incorporating Bridgerton-themed entertainment and music with a string quartet, harpist, or background music that’s slow and romantic. You and your partner could even rehearse a Regency-style dance that makes your guests feel like they’ve been transported to England.

5. Eat like a Bridgerton

There are many thoughtful ways to infuse a Bridgerton wedding theme into your wedding menu and dining experience. Consider renting or purchasing floral china, teacups, floral plates or bowls, or colored glass goblets. Hosting a tea party is a big way to commit to the theme, and can even be added to your bridal or welcome party for an extra touch. 

In terms of catering, tarts, berries, quiches, finger sandwiches, and scones are lovely details to add to your cocktail party. You can modernize the Bridgerton theme with floral elements added to cocktails. (Just ask us about our bar options!)

Potatoes, chicken, biscuits, and root vegetables are hearty ways to bring Bridgerton to your dinner. Consider a buffet with those themed plates, or a plated dinner. 

For dessert, you really can’t go wrong. If you want to be more traditional, ask your baker to deck out your wedding cake with pastel florals. If you want to dive in further with the Bridgerton wedding theme, consider adding small tarts, biscuits, cookies, roll cakes, cupcakes, and dessert tea to your dessert table.
