Bridgerton Fashion

Adorned with embellishments and lace embroidery, one definitive look from the Regency era is the Empire-line dress. With a fitted bodice which ends under the bust, empire line dresses will give you pretty and feminine silhouette. Since Bridgerton aired, data shows a large increase in online searches for puff sleeve dresses.

Corsets are another staple piece for your regal wardrobe, so its no wonder that is why we are seeing corsets tops making their way onto our instagram feeds.

Bridgerton Jewellery

When it comes to Bridgeton inspired accessories, wear costume jewellery to compliment your style with a dash of Regency glamour. Regency-era worthy jewels could include statement necklaces or a diamanté choker, teamed with a dazzling pair of chandelier and cocktail ring to complete the look.

For the hair, a stylish updo could be worn with a feather fascinator, or for a hair down style, an elaborate headband embellished with pearls are a key part of the vintage dress code. Since Bridgeton aired, Fascinators Direct has seen a big increase in searches for pearl headbands and feather headbands.

Monochromatic weddings will look stunning in your wedding photos and focus on one key colour which can be used right across your big day, from the wedding dress to your wedding decor and wedding flowers. Your esteemed wedding guests can participate too, incorporating your chosen colour theme into their wedding guest outfits, hats and fascinators.

We’re obsessing over the pretty pastel colours that were in vogue at the time. Expect to see puff-sleeve dresses draped with ruffles in classic vintage colours such as duck egg, lavender and rose pink. Our top picks would have to be powder blue or periwinkle, but of course you can pick a colour you love and discuss your vision with your wedding planner who will help you translate your ideas into a vintage themed wedding, and you can explore our pastel fascinator collection here.

Bridgerton viewers will have also noticed the greenery. To achieve this nature inspired bohemian wedding look on your big day you can swap a floral bouquet for one with lots of foliage instead. Greenery and foliage can be used instead of florals to create your table centrepieces, wedding garlands and ceremony backdrops. There are literally hundreds of wedding greenery options you could choose, think lush ferns with eucalyptus or ivy.
