The 50 Best Bridgerton Quotes For Your Instagram Captions
These will keep your feed Lady Whistledown-approved as you wait for Season 3.
In addition to being stylish and swoon-worthy, the world of Bridgerton is endlessly quotable — which isn’t surprising, given the creative minds behind the franchise. Longtime Shondaland collaborators Shonda Rhimes and Chris Van Dusen began Bridgerton’s reign on Netflix as executive producer and creator, respectively, basing the steamy series on Julia Quinn’s best-selling novels of the same name.
Quinn, for her part, has said that she “worship[s] at the altar of Jane Austen,” who penned some of history’s greatest romances. “She was writing about love and happy endings in a time that viewed marriage — in her social class, at least — as more of a business contract than a bond of love,” Quinn wrote in a piece for the Little, Brown Book Group. “I’d like to think that my books honor Austen by adhering to these ideals.”
Indeed, there’s no shortage of quotes about love in Bridgerton, which are guaranteed to go viral every time a new season drops. (Colin and Penelope, when?!) However, for every passionate love confession, there’s an equal number of quotes about family, friendship, and taking charge of your own destiny. To prove it, here are 50 of the best Bridgerton quotes for Instagram captions fitting every occasion.
BTW, they’re sourced from the Bridgerton books, Netflix series, and Queen Charlotte spinoff — so you have plenty of material to work with as you wait for Bridgerton Season 3.
