Welcome to the 925th Tablescape Thursday! Have you heard of Bridgerton, a historical romance series that’s become a huge hit on Netflix? I never watch TV and haven’t had a TV in my home in probably 20+ years until I bought a cottage in Ohio near family and decided to create a movie room for family. Since adding a large TV to the movie room, I occasionally watch a movie maybe once or twice a month. The only subscriptions I have, other than for Amazon, are for the Hallmark Channel since 99% of the movies being produced are not ones I would care to see.
If you’re like me and can’t handle violence in movies, or don’t like sad movies where pets or main characters die, I recently learned about a website that’s designed for people like us. It’s called Does the Dog Die? At Does the Dog Die, you can search for any movie that you’re thinking of watching, and it will share a full crowdsourced evaluation of any trigger warnings you may encounter while watching the movie, of course, without any spoilers. So thankful that website exists because there’s nothing worse than sitting down to enjoy a relaxing movie after a stressful day, only to end up with your nerves on edge or sad when tragic things happen to the people/animals you’ve come to love in the movie.
Well, that was a bit of a tangent for a Tablescape Thursday, but I thought it might help explain why I had to do an online search to learn more about the theme of today’s table. My friend, Teresa, happened to come across an event recently in her local clubhouse. Lucky for us, she snapped some wonderful pictures of the many themed tables she saw that day. This very feminine, beautiful table was one of the tables on display. As I was looking at the photos, I thought to myself, “Why does that centerpiece look like it has hair?” lol
Yep, that’s definitely hair, or rather a very fancy wig. The floral arrangement is beyond gorgeous! Sooo beautiful! Love the over-the-top frilly tablecloth, too!
This was the information displayed on the table. I had never heard of Lady Whistledown, but she sounds like quite the character! I love the creativity of this tablescape! I’ll have to check out Bridgerton at Does the Dog Die? to see if it’s something I would enjoy watching. I’m not a fan of Netflix for many reasons, but maybe there will be another way to watch this series in the future.
Notice the pink, satin, bow-shaped napkins tucked through the handle of each teacup. Love creative ways for displaying napkins!
Does anyone recognize this beautiful china? I would love to know the maker/pattern name.
Love those big pink bows on the back of each chair! They really set the mood for this elegant, feminine tablescape! Thanks so much to Teresa for sharing so many wonderful tables, thus allowing me to share them with you! Looking forward to the beautiful table settings linked for this week’s Tablescape Thursday!

Requiring a link back also prevents businesses and scammers from linking up to sell their products. Please, don’t add your post name/blog name ALL IN CAPS…it tends to create big spaces between the rows of links. Please do not link up table settings that were just recently shared in the last few weeks for Tablescape Thursday.
You do know Brigerton is a highly racy show? It has sexual content, nudity and sexually explicit themes? I heard the love scenes were over the top.
I’ve never seen it, but heard about it from my friend who watches it. There is the one actor all the women were over the moon about. Just in case you’re thinking this is just a lovely period romance. Watch at your own risk! lol
Interesting. Nope, didn’t know that. I thought is a romantic comedy-type show. No wonder it’s on Netflix! Thanks for the warning.
