DIOR Grand Opening at The Shops Buckhead Atlanta

/

Dior put the "grand" in opening last night as more than 200 guests celebrated Atlanta's first free-standing Dior location at The Shops Buckhead Atlanta. Guests were greeted with champagne upon entering the glamorous five-thousand square foot showroom - Moet of course.

Dior curated an exclusive guest list which meant I got to meet new people and make fabulous new friends. This was one of the best, most chic boutique openings I've attended. Dior seamlessly balanced a perfect evening of shopping and celebration. A DJ kept things moving and Moet kept flowing while guests discreetly stacked up shoes, bags and accessories in private VIP rooms. They were whisked away for fittings and then retuned to the party. Very classy, but I would expect no less from Dior.
