I absolutely loved the Tampa location.
I went the first time, really not expecting to find "the dress". The consultant did have another girl that she was helping, but I didn't mind since it gave me and my bridesmaid a few moments alone to talk about the dress I had on. I did not feel any pressure to pick a dress. The consultant stayed within my price range and was extremely supportive and friendly. After many dresses, I found "the one"! But it was the first place I went looking for dresses, that I didn't want to commit right then and there. My consultant had no problem with me shopping around. She gave me all the info I needed and said she hoped to see me again. I went to 7 other places and kept thinking of the dress from David's Bridal. Two weeks later, I go back in, try it on one more time and ordered it. I was told it would take 4 months, I got it in 3 months. I picked up my dress today and they were still just as friendly as they were before.
I have no complaints about the Tampa location. They were great. I will recommend this location to anyone I can. Thanks for helping make my wedding experience a pleasant one!

I began my dress search completely against the idea of buying a dress through David's Bridal, but then I fell in love with one of their Vera Wang designs. Although I continue to love my dress and am glad I went with it, David's Bridal's service left something to be desired. I had no issues with my dress, but the customer service representatives were continuously rude or had attitude with every request. As an extremely laid-back person and bride, I don't believe I was ever unreasonable, yet each time I left David's Bridal, I was frustrated. Bottom line, I loved my dress, but would have loved to find it somehwere else.

I loved the attention tbe proffesionalism everything about my experience with davids bridal

I love my dress that I chose and I thought I got a very good price on the dress itself. The only thing I rate differently is that the alterations lady did not want to pull my dress is as much as I wanted. She was telling me I was taking it in too much and I told her that was what I would be happy with. In the end the dress fit PERFECTLY (with the way I wanted it altered) I think David's Bridal does overcharge for some of their alterations though. If you have a bridesmaid looking to get it altered I would recommend going to someone local who can do it at a much lower price. Overall, I LOVED my dress!

I had a huge issue with my bridal consultant when I ordered my dress. First of all, she quoted a price to me that was incorrect and when I asked if the dress could be altered and the train could be removed...she said that she wasn't sure if they could do that in alterations, but that I could ask (the dress was available for order without a train...she never even bothered to check).

I decided to order the dress and after I paid and went home...I noticed that she had ordered me the wrong dress. I had to go back to the store (because no one was answering the phone) and got the right dress ordered. I again went back home to realize that I had been over-charged. I called and this time, thankfully...someone answered the phone. They put the consultant on the phone who informed me that I had been charged the correct price-that she had in fact, mis-quoted me. Instead of honoring the price she had quoted...she suggested that I loose weight and order a regular size instead of a women's sized dress (which is more expensive).

I did write to the district manager who called me and addressed the issue with myself and the consultant...she also honored the original price I was quoted. Pleased with the service I received from the manager, I returned for my dress alterations.

I do NOT suggest getting alterations done at David's Bridal. THIS is where they make up on the great prices of the dresses. I paid almost as much for alterations that I did for the dress! I also asked for the extra fabric that was hemmed off the bottom and don't think they gave me all of the material.

I had a corset back put in that needed to be re-done because it wasn't to my standards.

Other than the minor issues I had (that were all dealt with), I say buy your dress there-just go somewhere else for alterations! Like Dorca's on West Kennedy. Got my other dress altered here and her prices are great and she's wonderful with what she does!

First off my experience looking for a wedding dress with them was AWFUL. The consultant handed me about 8 dresses and disappeared. I had no idea how to get into the dresses and needed different things, however she was no where to be found. She was not attentive at all. The store was a mad house even though I had an appointment and no one cared.
My bridesmaids ended up finding their dresses here and I can not say they had a great experience either. This location is awful. I have been to other davids bridals in other states and have had much better results. DO NOT GO HERE.

After buying my first (that's right my first) wedding dress, not from David's Bridal and understanding that it was not the right dress for me. I decided to go and try on some dresses to see if I liked anything. Well I found my dress that I loved to much. It was on clearance so I bought it as-is on the spot, which was a blessing because my wedding was 4 weeks away and was able to get my alterations done within a week. Ali did all my alterations and did a wonderful job. The dress looked fantastic on me and I am so thankful that I was able to find it. Thank you David's Bridal!

I had no problems with the purchase of my dress. I loved the dress and it was a great price. The sales girl was very helpful. The jewelry/tiaras were way over priced so I bought online and borrowed from friends. My biggest issue was with the alterations department. It was chaos. The only thing done correct was the hemming of the dress. I asked for completely detachable straps to be added and they attached them, I asked a broach be tacked on tightly and it flopped around barely sewn onto the dress. The worst was the bustle. It looked horrible. When we were there for the fitting they told us nothing would be visible from the back. I made it clear I did not want to be able to see anything as it was a very simple dress. She assured us nothing would be seen it would all be underneath. When I got the dress back you could see a row of small stitches towards the bottom and a huge row of stitches across the middle. The small stitches were not very visible but the upper row was unacceptable and looked horrible. The lady kept saying it's hard to explain how we do this and that it's the only way, it's the least visible...there was a girl right next to me who had a similar bustle done on her dress and only the lower small stitches were showing. After my mother and I did not accept the alterations they said' "Well, we can remove it and attach it to the lining instead of the dress (which is what should have been done in the first place). I was worried that since the stitching was fairly tight I would end up with holes in my dress but I asked them to please try to fix it. I got my dress back and it was 100% better all the issues were addressed and it looked great. I would suggest them for purchasing a dress but I would not recommend using them for alterations as it was VERY expensive and poorly done the first time around.

:) The girls at the Orlando David's Bridal are great. They worked so well with me with every detail for my bridal attire. Even 2 months before my wedding going to change my dress they still helped me and they did an great job helping. I am so happy with the second dress they helped me pick. It was so me & I loved it!

I didn't purchase my dress at David's bridal - but, they were the first place I looked at for my wedding dress. Actually, if they had a closer location other than Clearwater or Tampa, I probably would've purchased my dress there.
The service was great! However, after my first visit and up until I married, they kept harassing me with email alerts, phone calls and mailers, even after I told the representative I had already purchased my dress elsewhere. I understand marketing works - but, not when you're practically nagging for business. I'm sorry, but I felt like I was being punished for not purchasing my wedding dress at their store.

I LOVED Davids Bridal! I bought my wedding dress from them as well as my veil, slip and tiara. We also got our bridesmaid dresses from them (loved them) and flower girl dress. They are wonderful to work with and make you feel relaxed. We weren't rushed at all and took our time deciding on what was best for our special day. I would definitely recommend their services! I also used them to alter my dress and everything came out perfectly!

I walked into David's Bridal not knowing if I would find "the dress". I had only one in mind that I wanted to try on there. Wouldn't you know it was the dress I actually purchased and wore! It was on sale for $300 off which was excellent. The manager even said that was the dress she wore on her wedding day. The girl helping me so nice (even though they were super busy and she was running around) and she seemed into my whole dress process of finding the right one. I am happy I found my dress at David's Bridal!

I had no problems with Davids. I decided on the dress that I liked and tried it on one size larger. It seemed that I may have been able to fit into the next size down, but Davids didn't have it in stock. This would have been my only complaint but I was able to try it on at another location and Davids could have brought one in to my home store, so I can't really complain. I had to order a long length dress; it arrived much faster than expected. I had one round of alterations done with Davids and had no complaints. I also had a pair of shoes purchased from and dyed by Davids. I never had any negative interactions with any Davids staff. I suppose I was lucky...

The David's Bridal in Tampa was a truly horrific experience for me. I bought my dress at the DB in Richmond, and I took it to the Tampa store for alterations as this is where I live. First, when I went in for my fitting, they took my dress, and then I waited for over an hour for someone to come get me to start the fitting. No one ever did. I just assumed they were busy. No. Someone hung my dress up in the back, and no one was told I was there with my dress although I had an appointment and they had taken my dress. Also, this day, the bathrooms were out of order, which was not fun considering I'd been waiting for over an hour.

When I went back for my final fitting, they'd messed up my alterations. The halter had been brought up so much that I couldn't lift my head, and the pads to the newly built in bra were now well above where they "should" have fallen on my bust. They were only able to fix the problem so much as they'd cut off too much of the halter. Granted, it was much better than when we'd started, but it was still not perfect. They had to bring the bra padding down to accommodate for the wrongfully adjusted halter line. Not to mention, when they brought the halter up so much, it shifted the dress and the way it fit. So it went from being a perfect fit on my back to being slightly too tight. The seamstress did not mention or accommodate for that possible problem. I will say that they were responsive with the final fitting in trying to resolve the problem, but I would never go back. I paid $150 for the alterations, which were not correct, and I didn't even get an apology.

I bought my dress through Davids Bridal online. I had set up an appointment to have it fitted, and when I had arrived, I had stood around, for about 30 min past my appointment only to get extremely mad, and leave. My husband called and went off on the the management staff, so they in turn set me up another appointment.

I didn't receive my dress back from alterations as soon as they said, and when I ordered my bridesmaids dresses from there, they took longer to come in then my wedding dress did. When they finally came in, they did not call and notify me like i had requested, instead they called my bridesmaids who one lives out of state to tell her she could come pick up her dress here in Tampa, not quite sure what they were thinkin, or if they were at all. So needless to say, if I have to recommend a bridal shop to anyone, I will tell them not to go there, because the customer service was well below average, and it seems like they are hearding cattle in this store to try and get people in and out. Unbelievable.....

I purchased my dress at David's and it was beautiful. The alterations were a little pricey but my quality of service when I first went in was perfect with an appointment. Wanda was a huge help.
