Wedding Gift Ideas: A Curated Guide to Gifts That Last a Lifetime

A wedding gift says something about the person who chose it. Flowers fade and gadgets age, but a pair of crystal flutes or a silver-plated flatware set becomes part of a family's story: the glasses raised at every New Year, the serving dish that appears at every holiday table. This guide brings together the pieces we recommend most often when guests ask us what to give a couple.

How to choose a wedding gift that will be used

• Think of the table. Couples entertain family and friends for decades. Glassware, serving pieces and flatware are the gifts most likely to be used again and again.
• Choose a classic collection. Iconic lines such as Baccarat Harcourt or Christofle flatware patterns have been produced for many years, so the couple can add matching pieces later.
• Pairs are meaningful. A set of two flutes, coupes or tumblers is a natural symbol for a couple, and an elegant gift even at a moderate budget.
• Coordinate with other guests. Close family can combine budgets for a larger piece, such as a complete flatware set or a statement vase.

Crystal for celebrations

Champagne glasses remain the most popular wedding gift we sell, and for good reason: the couple will use them for their first toast at home and for every anniversary after.

• Baccarat Harcourt 1841 Flutes, set of 2: the faceted Harcourt glass, created in 1841, is one of the most recognisable designs in French crystal.
• Baccarat Harcourt 1841 Coupes, set of 2: the same icon in the vintage coupe shape.
• Saint-Louis Bubbles Footed Cup in amber: a colourful, joyful alternative for couples with a modern home.

Silver for the family table

A silver-plated flatware set is the traditional heirloom gift. It is used every day, improves with use and can be passed on to the next generation.

• Christofle Mood Asia flatware set for 6, 24 pieces
• Christofle Carrousel 24-piece silver-plated flatware set
• Christofle Vertigo silver-plated 3-ring candelabra: a smaller gift that brings light to the couple's first dinners at home.

Porcelain and serving pieces

• Richard Ginori Oriente Italiano Pervinca coffee set for two: a gift made for a couple's morning ritual.
• Richard Ginori Oriente Italiano Aurum étagère: for desserts, sweets and fruit at family gatherings.
• Hermès Hippomobile tart platter

Statement pieces for the home

When several family members choose a gift together, a signature art piece becomes the centre of the couple's living room.

• Baccarat Eye Vase Oval
• Lalique Champs-Élysées Bowl
• Daum Intimité by Natacha Mondon: a crystal sculpture of an embracing couple.
