allocated from the budget for the hire of a stately home for the weekend.
Food and drink were the second biggest outlays with guests at a Regency ball expecting a sumptuous three course dinner with wine and champagne flowing all evening.
The cost for that now would come in at £10,199 which would include the cost of the caterers, dinner and a selection of wines, champagne and beer.
But to make the meal a success, a society family would need staff. The cost of waiting staff for the dinner alone would set you back a hefty £2,415.
And once dinner is over, it’s time to dance. An orchestra would cost a mere £1,200 with the floral arrangements to decorate the ballroom and dining tables costing £5,455.
And what if you were a guest at one of these events? A carriage to the ball in 2021 would cost around £595 with outfit hire being less than £100 for the event.
When it comes to jewellery, expect to splash out over £600 for the hire of period necklaces, broaches and diamond rings.
Bridgerton has been a popular choice for viewers over recent weeks, following the trials and tribulations of a season in Regency London.
