Watch the episode:

The Desk

In contrast to lots of my dinner events, I arrange a buffet stuffed with tea time treats within the backyard in order that my pals may assist themselves to the meals while enjoying croquet. I styled the desk with the beautiful Canton tablecloth from Williams-Sonoma. The minute I opened this magnificence on my birthday, I knew the vintage rose tablecloth can be excellent for a Bridgerton occasion.

Society Papers & Indicators

I wrote my very own Society Papers and had it printed and framed on the desk. Don’t fear for those who can’t learn it right here – Girl Whistledown herself narrates the papers for us within the Bridgerton episode of The Rose Desk!

The Flowers

I’m so glad that I rewatched Bridgerton earlier than throwing this occasion as a result of I remembered a key aspect: extra is extra the place it involves Bridgerton. The floral preparations within the present are sometimes huge and colourful. I selected a mixture of white hydrangeas, inexperienced carnations, pink roses, and yellow roses (plus some greenery that got here with the roses), an association I assumed Ms. Featherington would approve of.

Different Decor

I really couldn’t be extra pleased with my creation for this occasion! Meet the Diamond of the Season Punch. I did hours and hours of analysis on Regency Period punch recipes so that you simply don’t must. Many have been a mixture of inexperienced tea, easy syrup, brown liquor similar to brandy or rum, and champagne, and fruit.

Enjoyable truth: it seems that pineapples have been all the fad in Regency England, the final word present of wealth. Why? A single pineapple, imported from the Caribbean, may value $8,000 in as we speak’s cash. Individuals would show all of them single lengthy, even after they have been rotting! Individuals may even be seen promenading about with a pineapple underneath their arm simply to point out off that that they had one! So together with pineapple on this drink couldn’t be extra excellent. It’s really a drink match for a diamond!

Spiced Honey Cream Cheese

I wished to include honey in each a candy and savory dish since bees are so very Bridgerton. (Morbid, I suppose however hey, the imagery is there!) I added a little bit of cayenne to honey, then poured it over a block of cream cheese and served it with crackers. One of the best half? I garnished it with scrumptious honeycomb and a sprig of mint. It was a success on the occasion! Get the recipe right here.

Lemon Lavender Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread cookies are so very quaint and excellent for tea. I assumed lemon lavender can be the proper Bridgerton taste. These gentle, buttery cookies are ten occasions extra scrumptious than the look! Get the recipe right here.

If there’s one factor I discovered from Ina Garten it’s that you simply don’t must make each single factor. I critically flipped out after I noticed that Kroger carries chocolate dipped honeycomb.

Contemporary Fruit

I served a bowl of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries and a bowl of pink pineapple. You heard me! My pals have been delighted to see pink pineapple on the desk. I squealed after I noticed the web well-known fruit at Kroger!

I’m a lifelong fan of croquet and since they play the sport within the present, you recognize I needed to play a spherical with my pals. In reality, I purchased a model new set for the occasion! Isn’t it beautiful?

I grew up enjoying croquet with my household and have lengthy liked enjoying with my pals any time the climate is sweet. (Which in Texas is very often.) Croquet actually is the best garden sport as a result of you possibly can play while sipping champagne. For those who’ve by no means performed earlier than, I extremely advocate it! It’s the proper Bridgerton backyard occasion exercise. (I got here in third, by the best way.)

The Style

Final however definitely not least: a Bridgerton occasion will not be full with out Regency outfits! I wore a snug white and pink floral gown, an heirloom pearl choker, pearl earrings, lacy gloves, a blush-colored feather fascinator (they put on so many hats within the present!), and carried a white lace parasol.
