Dearest Gentle Reader,
A new and exciting season of Bridgerton is finally upon us, and for those who eagerly follow the comings and goings of the Ton, anticipation has never been higher.
Our time away from morning promenades and evening balls has been long and torturous, but finally we return London to delight in the scandals and surprises of the social season. With a new flock of debutants, the return of the Ton’s most eligible gentlemen, and the stirrings of thrilling new romance, this season promises to be one to remember.
We cannot all pass our days mingling with the nobility and taking tea with gentlemen callers, but we can certainly dress the part. While your modiste may provide the latest Bridgerton era fashion, there is no better name to complete an ensemble then Amelie. With elegant earrings, show-stopping statement necklaces, and headbands and handbags for every look, Amelie is sure to have you sparkling like the diamond of the season.
Sparkle and Pearls
When bringing an outfit together, one cannot possibly go wrong with the truly timeless style of lustrous pearls and sparkling stones. Classic, elegant and effortless, glossy pearls and faceted stones capture stylish simplicity that is sure to bring a stunning finishing touch to dinner dresses and ballgowns – or to complete the day dress you wear to tea the next day to share secrets from the night before.
The Amelie collection has the perfect pieces to capture the style and sophistication every lady wants to exude in the ballrooms of London’s high society. While there is certainly something to be said for subtlety – the Spot Drop Earrings, for instance, or perhaps the sparkling Chapter Cluster Earring – the truly succeed in the social season, a lady must stand out from the crowd. I myself am partial to an eye-catching earring or a striking necklace. The Symphony Statement Clip Earring is a recent favourite, while the Vintage Crystal Flower Necklace is a beautiful choice for any occasion. Made from beautifully gleaming faux pearls, the Beaded Mini Tote is statement bag to carry one’s essentials. a perfect accessory for the leading ladies.
Perfect your palette
Colour can be a language all of its own, and choosing the right palette to dress and accessorise is crucial to creating the perfect ensemble for a promenade in the park or for calling on neighbours. The demure Bridgertons have always favoured shades of blue, along with delicate rose pinks, soft lilacs, and white and cream tones. To emulate their style, and perhaps their matchmaking success, we would steer would-be Duchesses to the elegant Matinee Necklace and Interlude Bracelet in soft sky blue, or other pastel tones pieces such as the Royal Duo Drop Earrings in pink, or the Double Drop Oval Stone Earrings in lavender. If one prefers more neutral tones, the Shape Mix Necklace is a stunning addition to your evening looks.
Perhaps you favour something bolder, something that is sure to turn heads, take your inspiration from the Featherington family. They are partial to bright yellows, pinks, oranges and greens, with colourful florals that capture all the vibrancy of the regency social season. When exercised with care and restraint, these vivid hues can bring life to an otherwise unexciting outfit. Fashionable ladies would do well to consider the Weekender and Regale Necklaces, or for something more striking perhaps the appropriately named Manor Statement Necklace.
Choose your Crown
A lady of the Ton wouldn’t be caught out of the house without an elegant headpiece to complete their outfit. While white feathers are reserved for debutantes, sparkling tiaras are worn by duchesses, and truly remarkable wigs are the domain of Her Majesty The Queen, an Amelie lady can bring fashionable flair to any look with a striking headband.
Amelie has options to suit any taste. The Clove Inset Gem Band is perfect for ladies devoted to colour, sure to sit beautifully atop any outfit, while those of a more demure constitution will prefer the Mini Bows and Stones Headband. Bows are indeed a staple of the season, and with subtle sparkle, it’s a beautiful choice for day or night. For an evening engagement, or a much anticipated ball, choose something refined yet stunning. The Floating Crystal Band, or the Lala Double Strand Band are both excellent choices for next event.
While the Bridgerton season 3 is certainly off to an intriguing start, one thing we know for sure – Amelie has the perfect pieces to keep your sparkling all season long.
