It’s once again Bridgerton season and you know what that means… pretty pastels, fantastic dresses, tea parties… hours of watching my favorite historical drama! And since one of my other favorite things happens to be setting a beautiful table I figured we’d put the two together.
So today we’re doing one (of two!) Bridgerton style tablescapes… this one is a soft green and pink styled table in the Featherington colors. A bit more muted then Mama Featherington would like… and of course, it features the Bridgerton Bee.
Because we have to have a bit of representation in there.
So let’s take a look!
Source List:
- Silver Chargers
- Water Goblet Recollection Pink by Indiana Glass (I’ve also seen them here)
- Small Pink Glass Cake Plate (purchased in store, sold out online. There are beautiful options here)
- Roseland by Reed & Barton (Flatware)
- Green Velvet Napkin
- Bee Napkin Rings
- White Round Tablecloth
- White Taper Candles
- Crystal Candlesticks
Step 1: Pick a Starting Point
When it comes to any table I like to pick a focal point to work around… this way everything can relate back (or match) that first piece. In this case we have two pieces. We started with the classic blue china… it’s a gorgeous pattern I borrowed from my Mama and it works perfectly for the time period.
But the real showstopper are the Bridgerton Bee’s which I used in a few ways. They’re napkin rings so of course I used them on my pretty sage green velvet napkins (which are very fancy. very Bridgerton. very regency!) but I also used them to dress up my plain white taper candlesticks.
Look how cute!
I kind of want to add new and custom napkin rings to all of my candlesticks now.
I love both the napkin rings and the china but they don’t exactly scream “we belong on the same table” so the goal with the next few pieces was to marry the two.
Step 2: Add in Matching Pieces
Since we’re trying to marry a silver, white and blue based china with a champagne and pearl napkin ring we needed to decide which way to go.
Silver? Gold? Champagne?
Luckily champagne can lend itself well to mixing with other metals (unlike silver and gold which take a bit more creativity to match) so we started by adding more silver.
Silver flatware and a silver charger allow the china to standout and show-off. They help pull the colors of the china together perfectly… but we still needed something for our bee.
Since we already have so much silver we needed something else to tie in the bee… so let’s look to the napkins. Our little bee will go around the napkins after all… they’ll read as one item once they’re put together.
I played around with a few different ideas but at the end of the day I went with these scrumptious green velvet napkins. The texture of the velvet is gorgeous and just screams regency to me… luxury.
And since we’re adding in another color (that Featherington green!) we now need to tie that back together. So I added in a centerpiece with the same soft green velvety lambs ear and a few soft, pastel, pinks.
Which made the pink pastel glasses an easy decision.
Sometimes it just starts to come together!
Now it’s time for the finishing touches. A white table cloth and pink cake stand for a bit of elevation. The accompanying teapot, sugar and creamer for the center of the table (it is Bridgerton after all!). It all came together beautifully.
Perfect for an afternoon tea-party!
