Monique Lhuillier Opens Uptown

Last week the Upper East Side welcomed new neighbor, Monique Lhuillier, as she opened her New York Flagship Salon in a brownstone at 19 E. 71st Street.  The salon nestled between Fifth and Madison Avenue was a 19th century 2- story townhouse.  The street level carries her ready-to-wear line, including accessories, while the top level is an intimate bridal salon.  Overall, the store invites a warm and luxurious setting that is quite charming.  The bridal salon is decorated in soft greys and equipped with a fireplace, and  various rooms decorated with Waterford chandeliers.   To honor the occasion, an intimate fete ensued with a few close friends including Muffie Potter Aston, Jamie Tisch, and Kelly Rutherford.   Guests were treated to mini wedding cupcakes and champagne while enjoying tunes spun by Harley Viera-Newton.
