In my opinion, the Regency era was one of the most romantic periods in all of history. Something about the dresses, fancy balls, afternoon tea, daily promenades, and flowers delivered from an admirer just makes me swoon!
I also think springtime is the most romantic season. Witnessing the blooming flowers and feeling the warm sun on my skin makes me feel all romantic and twitterpated. So I thought, why not combine my love for spring with my love for the Regency era, to create one of the most romantic dates in all of Diva history?!

What Is the Regency Era?
Before I jump into the details of this date, let’s give you a quick lesson about what the Regency era is. You may impress your wife with your new knowledge! 😉
In British history, the Regency era spans from 1795 to 1837, with the official Regency period lasting from 1811 to 1820. This era is marked by the reign of George, Prince of Wales, as King Regent during his father’s illness.
Think Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte, and Pride and Prejudice. Men wearing top hats, women in dresses, horse-drawn carriages, string quartets, and debutante balls.
Debutante balls took place during the social season, which started in spring and lasted through summer. This is when England’s wealthy and elite left their homes in the country and moved into their homes in the city, typically being London. Most families spent the social season presenting their daughters to society with the goal of finding a suitor.
Talk about romantic! Can you see why your sweetie loves it so much?!

There are two activities ready-to-go for this date. Your first activity involves taking a promenade together while answering 10 Regency themed questions!

Last, I have a page with more ideas you can use to kick your date up a notch. One of these ideas is a free online game called The Social Season. I have also included a Bridgerton Name Generator, and a link to some yummy biscuits!
Additional Items for Your Regency Date
Like I said before, this date is all digital so there aren’t any items that you NEED for your date. But if you want to take your date to the next level and romance your sweetheart even more, check out my ideas below!
- Your first activity is tea and a promenade, but that doesn’t mean you have to go to Starbucks for your tea! Consider brewing a pot of Bridgerton tea at home (here’s some yummy herbal tea for those who prefer herbal!) and sipping them from paper tea cups on your promenade. Or, you can get even fancier by surprising your wife with actual afternoon tea using a porcelain tea set and eating cucumber sandwiches and traditional shortbread!
- Regency costumes! This beautiful Regency dress is a dream, it comes in 12 colors, and it is very size inclusive (small – 3X available). Complete her dress with a pair of white gloves and a set of pearls! For yourself, here is a tailcoat (available in x-small – 2X, as well as four colors!), cravat, and a top hat!
Final Thoughts
Springtime is all about new beginnings and love. Use this special date night as a way to show your beloved wife that you are ready to plan date nights with her interests in mind. Trust me, she will be thrilled that you’ve chosen to take charge!
Until next time, dearest reader, may your evenings be filled with romance, your hearts with delight, and your soirées as enchanting as the tales of old.
Yours, ever devoted to the art of love and date night,
Lady Walters
