Monique Lhuillier, known for her stunning wedding gown collections that have graced the likes of Katie Holmes and Angelina Jolie, recently introduced a line of dinnerware, stemware, giftware, and flatware. In a collaboration with Royal Doulton, the designer has created beautiful pieces with modern elegance that any new bride or seasoned entertainer would love.

My favorite of the dinnerware collection is the Point d’esprit design. There’s a stunning simplicity to it which also makes it a great candidate for mixing and matching with other pieces.

Lhuillier’s Atelier Blanc Crystal is also gorgeous; any piece in the collection would make a cheerful wedding or housewarming gift.
