Why Pink? Unveiling the Meaning Behind Penelope’s Bridgerton Wedding Dress
Penelope's Unconventional Bridgerton Wedding
In the heart of Regency London, amidst the grandeur and gossip of high society, Penelope Featherington's wedding to Colin Bridgerton became a defining moment of both elegance and defiance against tradition.
The Unveiling of Penelope's Spectacular Gown
The anticipation surrounding Penelope Featherington's wedding was not just about her union with Colin Bridgerton, but also about the gown that would adorn her on this auspicious occasion.
Costume designer John Glaser embarked on a creative journey to defy expectations, steering clear of the ivory hues typical of Regency brides.

Glaser's decision to eschew conventional white was deliberate, aiming to align Penelope's attire with her evolving character arc.
The gown's hue not only resonated with Penelope's personal style but also served as a subtle rebellion against societal norms. Amidst the sea of Bridgertons and Featheringtons at the ceremony, Penelope's dress stood out as a testament to her journey—from a shy debutante to a confident bride ready to embrace her future.
