When it comes to decoding prevailing trends, cult TV shows, as much as TikTok, set the agenda, and none hold quite as much sway as Netflix’s historical drama, Bridgerton.

With the third series heading to our screens this June, and Google searches for Bridgerton-inspired fashion going through the roof, we thought now was the perfect time to showcase the bridal dresses that best reflect the hit show’s Regency-era romance.

Whether full skirts, puff sleeves, corsets, or—for the daring among you—citrus shades are on your wedding’s mood board, there’s an elegant option here to resonate with your taste.

Consider that corsets were a mainstay on May’s MET Gala red carpet or that full skirts and citrus tones flooded the Spring 2024 runways, and it’s easy to see the show’s continued appeal. On a day when you are the quintessential protagonist, no theme could be more fitting.

Discover the debutante-worthy lineup below.

PUFF SLEEVES

Puff sleeves are a Regency-era mainstay, and almost every character can be spotted wearing the bygone trend at one point or another. It’s rare to find an occasion to flaunt such an extravagant detail, but a wedding is certainly the time to indulge. This vintage lace gown, titled April, offers detachable puff sleeves that drop below the shoulder and billow around the hip. Perfect for the ceremony, while the transformative second option puts the full skirt in focus when the reception and dancing starts.

CORSETS

One look at this year’s MET Ball red carpet proves our love affair with corsets has officially taken hold. While they’ve long been adored in the bridal realm, now is the time for the style-obsessed to lace themselves into one. Known as the Anais, this exquisitely fitted French lace design has a translucent effect and theatrical boning out on display. With the look of lingerie, in the most extravagant sense, it offers a thoroughly modern take on a Regency-era staple.

FULL SKIRTS

Full skirts and period dramas go hand in hand, which is why the Horizon dress, blooming with 3D appliqued flowers, is a must for any Bridgerton-leaning bride. Rather than follow the stringent lead of Queen Charlotte or Lady Danbury, this contemporary take—featuring a sweetheart neckline, detachable corset, and plenty of swishes—emits an inherent versatility and grace, perfect for a first dance to remember.

CITRUS COLORS

Fans of the Featherington family would do well to fall in step with their fondness for arresting citrus hues. Each member is known for donning summer-ready greens, with hints of vermillion and clementine. Enter this zesty evening gown by Galia Lahav. With an elegant corset featuring hand-embroidered peonies, it is befitting for any Bridgerton lover. The full skirt with a side split, meanwhile, offers a fluid, modern take on a ballgown without losing any of that period drama.
