Begin with the essentials: the teacups and saucers. Dixie Does Vintage boasts an exquisite collection of authentic antique china teacups and saucer sets that capture the essence of the era. Each piece, with its intricate designs and delicate craftsmanship, serves as a nod to the opulence of the Bridgerton world. Pair these with vintage china plates from the Dixie Does Vintage “50 Shades of Pink Collection” or the “Chinoiserie Blue and White Collection” to create a cohesive curated look. The subtle variations in patterns and colors add a layer of authenticity, allowing each guest to feel like they’ve stepped into a Regency-era drawing room.

To elevate the tablescape, consider using velvet tablecloths in shades of blush, mauve, and rose or white. These rich colors create a luxurious backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the vintage china. Complement the tablecloths with velvet napkins in contrasting hues to add depth and visual interest. The tactile quality of velvet also adds a sensory dimension, enhancing the overall experience for your guests.

For table centerpieces, think outside the box: Greek Goddess & God Busts that double as floral vessels to serve as stunning centerpieces. Mix classic flowers like roses,  peonies and lilac’s with modern blooms to create a visually striking centerpiece that bridges the old and new. DIY, use a florist or allow Dixie Does Vintage to build these centerpieces.

 

Incorporating modern elements into a Bridgerton themed party while preserving the vintage charm is all about finding the right balance between old and new. Some strategies to achieve a Bridgerton vibe are,  flatware choice, glassware choice, and regency era teapots are crucial in completing your regency tablescapes. Dixie Does Vintage offers a selection of pressed glassware and teapots that perfectly complement the antique china teacups and plates. The intricate patterns of pressed glass catch the light beautifully, adding a touch of sparkle to the table.

Consider the addition of a gold candelabra,  brass candlesticks , or a brass champagne bucket to the table for a romantic glow. Mix vintage and modern table linens or accessories. For example, use sleek, minimalist flatware and colorful pressed glassware alongside vintage china plates and teacups. Lady Whistledown would approve the addition of some whimsical greek god figurines as party favors. This juxtaposition highlights the beauty of both styles and creates a unique tablescape.

While traditional finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries are a must, consider adding modern culinary twists. Include gourmet variations of these classics or incorporate contemporary food trends like mini avocado toasts, smoked salmon blinis, or artisanal cheeses displayed on tiered tea trays. Use two and three-tier tea trays to display an array of delicate finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries. The tiered trays maximize table space and create a visually appealing presentation that invites guests to indulge.

Incorporate personalized elements using modern techniques. Custom laser-cut place cards or digitally designed menus can add a personal touch while maintaining the vintage aesthetic. Ensure these elements are styled in a way that complements the overall theme.

Finally, add the finishing touches with carefully chosen décor and small details.  Consider adding a tea cart, and florentine trays to add an extra layer of regency charm. Soft, classical music or Bridgertons soundtrack playing in the background will set the perfect tone, transporting your guests to the elegant world of Bridgerton.

With Dixie Does Vintage’s authentic pieces and a touch of creativity, your Dallas Ft Worth tea party will be a stunning success, leaving guests with memories of a truly enchanting soiree. Your Bridgerton Themed Soiree will be the TALK OF THE TON!
