Born in the Victorian era, Searcys has been looking after countless romantic occasions throughout the years. We are confident Lady Whistledown would approve of our suggestions on how to create a Bridgerton-like soirée from home.

1. Take A Seat

Place the table against a wall and cover it with linen, preferably white and embroidered. Colour is fine, but avoid prints and designs. Linen napkins are also important, fold them in triangle style.

2. Something Old, Something New

Search your cupboards for old-fashioned crystal and silverware, do not worry about matching items. Mismatched cutlery or crockery is very charming and adds more colour to the table.

3. A Centre Piece That Will Bloom

Abundance on the table is essential. A good tip on how to create a centrepiece with fruit and flowers is to turn over a nice bowl and place a platter on it to add height. Add cake stands on both sides of the table and fill empty spaces with bakes, iced cupcakes, macaroons, homemade sandwiches and champagne buckets.

4. Food Glorious Food 

Serve savoury dishes in small plates and for the main course, we suggest Blenheim Palace’s Salmon with Potted Shrimps recipe.

5. Flute or Coupe?

There is no Victorian evening without Champagne, serve them in stylish antique glasses – coupes or any antique flute you can find around the house. Searcys Rosé and Brut Cuvee’s are delivered nationwide, individually or in a six-case pack.  Shop now →
