If you’re looking for something bold but not too vibrant, the pastel hue of this blush dress is the perfect statement choice. It embodies the era’s style with a hint of modernity. This sparkling gown with metallic beadwork makes for another great look, featuring the flow of an airy silhouette that familiarises with the Regency look.
Bringing Back Frills, Puffs & Bows

All through the first season, we’ve seen best friends Eloise and Penelope wear outfits that feature puff sleeves, frills, and bows, along with the then-popular square neckline. Danielle Frankel’s design perfectly blends the Regency fashion trends for a light, effortless, and intricate look with an empire waist! And if you love the ruffles and bows, this tulle and lace gown by Honor is one to consider.

We don’t think Daphne would ever sleep on delicate gloves and a fine cape. These additional accessories can only enhance your bridal ensemble further, giving it the extra edge for a fashion-forward, regal look. Plus, isn’t this stunning gown by Odylyn The Ceremony what dreams are made of?
High-Fashioned High Collars

Created as an ode to love, it doesn’t get more romantic than this Zimmerman gown. Adorned with hearts and arrows, this lace gown puts a modern spin on the Bridgerton-styled dresses featuring puff sleeves and high necks. This modest number with floral embroidered organza is a fine alternative if you aren’t a fan of puffs, frills, and bows. We think Eloise Bridgerton would surely love this look.
Regencycore Corsets

Corsets were a significant piece of fashion in the early periods and are a trend that has been seen in recent fashion too. Although, the advantage now is that you can wear the style without uncomfortably having to hold your breath and squeeze your torso! These corset styles add an undeniable edge to your bridal look that makes it equal parts sexy and classy.
So Bridgerton fans and brides-to-be, the new season is sure to bring with it more of that trendy regal fashion. With further options coming your way, be sure to draw bridal inspiration from your soon-to-be new favorite looks.
