GALLERY: This is what a Bridgerton-themed party in the Sault looks like

The popular Netflix series came to life at Sally Toivonen's east-end home last week; dozens of guests dressed in 1800s garb and enjoyed an afternoon tea, trivia, and dinner

Fans of Bridgerton were in their element last Friday.

East-end resident Sally Toivonen and 75 of her guests got dressed up in 1800s garb and enjoyed a memorable backyard garden party that paid tribute to the hit show. 

Renewed for a fourth season, the Netflix series takes viewers through the Regency era in England where eight close-knit siblings of the powerful Bridgerton family attempt to find love.

Toivonen spent months designing and decorating her entire backyard to resemble the series — decked out with all sorts of flowers, gardening trimmings and Victorian-era knickknacks.

She even modified an old playhouse in her backyard to resemble Queen Charlotte’s chambers from the show.

Guests enjoyed an afternoon tea where they were treated to an assortment of sandwiches, croissants, scones, macaroons, and refreshments — all of which was catered by Ken from the Grand Gardens.

Following the tea, attendees moved to the front yard for Bridgerton-themed trivia and prizes.

Then, guests returned to a transformed backyard for an evening of dinner and dancing.

Kari Lustig provided attendees with some ballroom dance instruction, while Carlo Fea was on-site to take photos. 

Instead of charging an admission fee, Toivonen asked her guests to make a donation to ARCH Hospice in memory of her late husband Allan.
