I bought my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses along with boleros for the girls since the wedding was in January. They all looked great and the bridesmaids dresses and boleros were a good price and came in fairly quickly. I felt like the wedding dresses are over priced and they never have plus size dresses included in the $99 sale. Looks like they are over priced everywhere so it may not be something you can avoid. The dress was beautiful and after I had sleeves added it was truly elegant. I got a lot of compliments on nice the dress was. I would suggest that you start looking early as some of the dresses take a long time to get in an the alterations appointments can be pretty far out. There's no last minute shopping here.

I was warned about David's Bridal however as plus size bride, my options were limited. My bridal dress consultant, Cassie, was perfect however my bridal party consultant was a disaster. The bridal party consultant was pulling dresses that no one liked therefore my bridal party started pulling their own dresses to try on. Approximately half way through the appointment the consultant began to rush us and told us that our hour appointment was over, it had only been 30 minutes. When 2 of my bridesmaids picked up their dresses the dress was too small. Instead of admitting that the bridal consultant had measured the women incorrecly, the consultant suggested that the women had gained weight. I was so glad when I finally able to walk out of the store one last time with my wedding dress in hand.

David's Bridal is efficient and helpful. I found exactly what I was looking for!

I absolutely love David's Bridal! I purchased my gown here, and both MOHs and the MOB purchased their dresses at the same store. We loved our service, and received some great discounts.

I got my veil from this location -- I went in on a Tuesday thinking they wouldn't be totally busy -- they were though. That's OK. They stay busy on the phones there - I tried to call to see if veils were available to try on without an appointment. No answer, so I just went. I was not greeted when I walked in -- but I went to the front desk and they had a girl assist me who was really nice. She showed me all sorts of options for veils. I had brought my dress with me (a Notte by Marchesa) and got compliments left and right on it - from the staff and the girls there shopping.

I just appreciate really attentive help, being acknowledged, and being friendly in a genuine way -- I got all of this, but I was just turned off by not getting anyone on the phone or being greeted / approached when I walked in. Perhaps they were short staffed that day.

The veil was perfect for what I wanted -- simple, elegant, and just enough of a touch to make the dress feel bridal.

Got my braids maids dresses here. I got very little help. I kept getting ditched so they could help someone looking for a wedding gown. But the dresses themselves turned out well.

I went in three times. First time, Caitlin was super nice, helped a first-time bride to be in and out of dresses, had fun picking out hideous funny dresses as well as gorgeous ones that fit my style all while working with a few other people. Second time I was with another girl who did none of that and paid more attention to another customer than to me. Third I got Danielle who was helpful and professional and calls for checkups and reviews. She was just not as interactive as Caitlin was. I wish I had given her the sales!

For the most part my experience with David's Bridal was good. I got a great deal on my dress because one had been returned without the ribbon that I was going to pay $80 to have removed anyway. So I cant complain about that. The girls that helped me out were good with both me and my bridesmaids. My only complaint is that when I bought the dress they scheduled my appointment so close to the wedding. Well when I went in to have it altered the girl tells me that they dont have any appointments before my wedding?!?!?! WHAT?!?!?! Ummmmm.... NO! And then they tell me they can get it done but I will have to pay a rush fee... I DONT THINK SO! So luckily I talked to a manager and she apologized for the mix up and assured me that my dress would be done and there would definitely not be a fee. She was also rather upset with my consultant for not following up with me, apparently they're supposed to call, but no one did. In the end my dress fit perfectly and was done on time, with a little anxiety but everything turned out good in the end. I loved my dress and it was such a great deal!

My dress was very lovely, I adored it, but I was told that alterations were included in the price of the dress and they were not. The hemming cost over $100, which is ridiculous; I don't see why my height dictates an additional $100 charge, especially since my dress had pick-ups and the seamstress said that style was really easy tp alter. David's has lovely dresses, but just be aware that alterations are going to cost you no matter what the people tell you.

Bridal Dress & Alterations - It's very busy, impersonal, and communication is poor. The alterations are extremely overpriced. I needed a dress quick, so it worked and my dress was beautiful, but fell apart. If you have the time, shop elsewhere, but if you need a dress quickly, Davids Bridal is ok.

If you want a lot of selection at good prices, David's bridal is the place. I got my dress, veil, and undergarments and walked out the door paying only $500 (Martin Luther King Day sale). The dress I got was excellent quality.

However, do NOT do your alterations here. The alterers are rude and most either want to charge you a rush fee or do not know when you're supposed to do fittings. I called well in advance and was forced into an appt 3 weeks before my wedding for my first fitting (they said there would be plenty of "wiggle room"). I ended up getting berated for making my appt too close to the wedding (the woman tried to give me one for August 1st for my August 14th wedding...) and charged $25 extra for rush. Looking back, I should have pushed for earlier but I assumed that the women there knew when I should make my appointment so I trusted them. My mistake.

Great dresses, not so great service.

This chain store was a horrible shopping experience.
The management did not seem to mind that thier sales woman was incredibly rude to my brides maids.

Stick with a locally owned shop. You may or may not pay more but the experience will be better!

i went here for my first trip to try on dresses. the lady who "helped" me. spent more time telling me about her fiance's side-business, then finding me a dress. my 2 girl friends and i picked dresses off the rack while she went to get a business card for her fiance's dj bus. after only trying on 5 or 6 dresses, she proceeded to tell us how she wasn't suppose to be working that evening and needed to be home studying... when i asked her to pull one more dress that i had seen in the beginning she told me she didn't remember which one that was.. my friends went and found it for me.. and then we left.
she acted very frustrated and put out when ever we asked anything.. it was a horrible experience.. though David's bridal is where i eventually bought my dress... i never went back to this one.... Modesto was much better.
i also had trouble when i tried to call and complain about her to their hr.

I couldnt spend thousands on a dress. we had to be frugal but I still wanted a nice dress and I was really surprised to find a gorgous gown here for a cheap price. The staff was nice and helpful. OUr planner reccomened that that we went there since we were on a budget. At first I was hesitant but she was right.

I was 6 months pregnant when I found my wedding dress at David's. When I went back to get it, a month later . . . I was already too big for the dress, they ordered me a larger size, and had it shipped over night to their store (free of charge to me), and had it ready and waiting for me the very next day! My wedding was in just 3 weeks, so the seamstress got right on it and made my alterations. They were so nice and thorough with me! I had such an amazing experience with them, that I plan on ordering some party dresses with them in the future.

I was on a very tight budget and also a plus size bride, at David's Bridal I found there were no clearence dresses in my size (girl on the phone had told me there were plenty). My "assistant" was very nice and professional, helping me select many gowns to try on. The only down side was she was quite pushy even after I told her I felt my mother should see the dress before I purchased it. They were quite attentive to my needs though. I ended up finding the same dress for much cheaper and ended up purchasing it that way. I did recommend my bridesmaids to David's Bridal because of their help!
