With the fourth season of Bridgerton now out, it’s safe to say the Regency obsession is alive, well, and spilling straight into weddings. Traditional, romantic, and oh so gorgeous, the Georgian look is having its moment – again.
What is it about that old English, Bridgerton-esque aesthetic that we just can’t get enough of? Well, there’s something endlessly indulgent about it. Think soft, romantic colour palettes, grand staircases and tall windows and over-the-top floral displays.
It’s not just us noticing…
If you need proof this trend isn’t going anywhere: Hitched reported a year-on-year spike in search volume of over 190% for ‘Bridgerton weddings’, while Pinterest shared that searches for the theme are up a staggering 257%.
Georgia Packer, Wedding Planner at the House of St John’s, puts it perfectly: “There’s something about escapism right now. Couples want romance, beauty and a sense of occasion – Bridgerton gives them permission to go all in.”
Turns out marrying like this isn’t just for Queens, Dukes and Viscounts.
If you’re doing Georgian, you do it in Bath
Let’s be honest, Bath might just be the most Georgian place there is.
The city has had its fair share of Bridgerton screen time too. The frontage of the Holburne Museum played Lady Danbury’s home, while Madame Delacroix’s dress shop is minutes away in Abbey Green.
And right at the heart of it all? Queen Square. Iconic, elegant, unmistakably Bath, and home to the House of St John’s.
The building does most of the work for you
Our advice – if you’re going to lean into the Bridgerton look, it helps to do it somewhere that already has the bones for it. Some places try to look Georgian. Others just are.
The House of St John’s dates back nearly 300 years and comes with a seriously rich history. This isn’t a venue pretending to be Georgian – it genuinely is.
From sweeping staircases to beautifully proportioned rooms, it’s the kind of place where history is etched into every detail. Old-world elegance but with an iconic modern twist.
And then there’s the story.
Dick Whittington (yes, that Dick Whittington) wasn’t just folklore – he was a real cloth trader, and his last living relatives, the Whittington sisters, donated the house to its charitable owners, St John’s Foundation.
History aside, it’s what the building offers now that really matters. Registry offices feel a bit old news – people want somewhere sexy, gorgeous and full of character to say “I do”. This is city-centre weddings, redefined.
The hard work is done for you
If the thought of pulling a Bridgerton-themed day together feels a bit overwhelming, don’t worry – the House of St John’s has a little black book full of suppliers who know exactly how to make it work. Think:
