About

David Abadi, owner of Brides of America Miami and Brides of America Online Store has been helping brides nationwide from Miami since 1984, but his family has been in this business since 1970, His mother started out making dresses as a hobby, but her skill and passion turned that hobby into a successful business. David remembers falling in love with the business as early as the age of 5 when he would help his mother around the shop.

Brides of America's goal is to offer the best wedding dresses in Miami as well as online, along with the other fashions and accessories to go along with every bride's special day. Along with those high-quality items, the other important thing to us is customer service. We want each and every person that shops with us to enjoy the entire experience and feel like they are our most important customer.

ATTENTION TO DETAILS
The reason that those goals are achieved is due to our owner, David Abadi. His attention to every single detail about the store and the products in it sets Brides of America apart from all of the others. He makes sure that the store is always immaculate and every dress and accessory has a special spot where it belongs. In David's own words, "I can say that I am very picky, sometimes too picky. I am a perfectionist." You want nothing less than perfection when searching for the gown you will be married in.

BRIDES GET SPOILED (AS THEY SHOULD!)
The dress should not be the only focus. The entire gown search should be a special experience. At Brides of America, customers are totally spoiled by David and the entire staff. This is by no means just to make a sale. "I have a blast helping them and I totally love making brides happy," says David. "I think the reason we have an amazing store and that brides love my service is because I LOVE what I do. This is my passion."

SHOPPING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
This is an appointment-only store, allowing us to truly give one bride at a time our complete and full attention. Many years ago Brides of America was open to the public without an appointment, but David felt that something was missing. The experience just didn't seem special enough for his brides. A good friend of his, own a bridal shop and she taught David how to turn his store into the appointment-only one that it is to this day. It was a scary transition, David knew it was a safe bet. He said, "I can say that making an appointment-only store was the best decision I ever made in this business. My customers love it and I can dedicate 100% of the appointment to them."

REVIEWS TELL THE STORY
Your wedding day should be one of the most special of your entire life. It is important to find things for it that fit perfectly into telling the story of you and your fiance's love. Reading reviews for all services, not just the bridal gown, is a wonderful way to know what to expect. The wonderful quality and service provided by Brides of America has graced us with many amazing reviews from happy customers. Our reviews can be seen at Google, Wedding Wire, Facebook and The Knot, and also on Brides of America's website.

When you are ready to start shopping for your own wedding, start with us. You can schedule an appointment in Miami through our web page.

With his exceptional eye for fashion, David chooses extensive selections of gowns from moderate to upscale to suit the entire wedding party. Brides are accepted at the Miami location by appointment only, NO walk-ins. David takes the time to meet with each bride without the distraction of other shoppers. He dedicates your appointment time solely to you and uses it to totally spoil all of his brides.

A magical experience!

I had the most magical experience at Brides of America! The owner was absolutely amazing — he instantly understood my style and guided me to the perfect dress. His expertise and warmth made the whole process so special and stress-free. I found my dress and couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!

Four Daughters, Four Wedding dresses in a span of 17 yrs. David and Brides of America is this Family’s favorite ❤️

Words cannot describe our experience with David and Brides of America. I have four daughters and I was fortunate enough that 17 yrs ago we went to Brides of America for our daughter’s wedding dress. This was the first shop we went to and the level of service and quality of the dresses was incredible. Our daughter’s dress was breathtaking. When it was time for our second daughter’s wedding dress, we returned to David and after talking to our daughter and without discussing designers, he brought out a few dresses and one of them was the exact same dress and designer she had on her board! We returned for our third daughter’s wedding dress, five years ago and David did his magic again and we had another stunning gown that brought tears to all of us. Today we returned with our youngest daughter and David did it again! She not only said yes to the dress, when we zipped the dress the tears started. Thank you David! Words cannot express how thankful our family is and how blessed we were to have had you take care of our girls and help make their dreams come true! You are truly one of a kind!

I love you David

I had such a beautiful and welcoming experience here at Brides of America. I had not only one appointments but two”Mickey mouses appointment”😉. One with my bridesmaids and one with my mom as well as my mother-in-law and Grandmothers. David came below my price I receive a cathedral veil ,crown, my beautiful dress, detachable sleeves, and detachable skirt all for under $3500 and it looks like it’s worth way more. I am so happy and pleased with my experience. Thank you so much David. Everybody run to his shop because he is awesome.

Great experience!

David was so kind and helpful! After asking me a couple of questions, he immediately seemed to understand the style I was looking for. He didn't try to pressure me at all and was very responsive to my cues throughout. Even though I didn't end up getting my dress there, he helped provide a wonderful first experience of dress shopping with my mother and grandmother. Highly recommend checking his place out! You can tell he really cares about his brides and what they are looking for.

YES to the DRESS! Exceptional Experience, David's the BEST!

From the moment I connected with David at the Brides of America to confirm my bridal appointment, I had a great feeling. He was on time, really listened to my wedding dress vision, and surprised me with styles that took me to the next level in bridal fashion. To be honest, I felt some kind of way about my body and was worried I would be stuck with only certain styles of dresses because of my previous experience with other bridal boutiques. David proved me wrong, and I was working those dresses. I became "that girl"! Through each dress, I grew more excited. Then there was the one... I got emotional and so did my bridal crew. I fell in love with the dress and I said YES! David has an eye for detail, and bridal fashion! I am lucky to have found him! If you are looking for a bridal place you can trust, who will welcome you with open arms, give you the platform to shine and dare to be bold, and that one-on-one quality uninterrupted time with a stylist, you need to schedule with David at the Brides of America!

I thank David and his team for making this experience so beautiful and unforgettable. Can't wait to share my wedding photos in May 2023!

Amazing experience!

First of all the wedding dresses are absolutely stunning. They have a huge collection of so many different styles its hard not to find what you are looking for. More importantly however is how AMAZING David is!!! The moment we walked in he truly made us feel like family. He made me feel so comfortable and he asks lots of questions to really understand what you like and what you envision your wedding to be. He was patient with me and let me try on so many dresses. I feel like he knew all along what I wanted but let me try many styles to feel confident before he picked "the one" for me to try on finally. He asked my feedback on all the dresses I tried on until he got me closer and closer to my perfect dress. This man know what he is doing that is 10000% for sure!!! He is a wedding dress expert and has an amazing ability to learn your style and make you feel so comfortable. I could go on and on about how great he is but I recommend you go see for yourself!

Absolutely amazing !!!

After shopping at various dress retailers in both Coral Gables and Fort Lauderdale areas, in search of my wedding dress, I finally had the pleasure of meeting David at Brides of America. From the moment I met him, he was friendly and honest. He even told me that I may not say yes to my dress at his shop. Once I showed him photos of the dresses I tried on, he knew exactly what I was looking for and gave me dresses to try on that would flatter my figure. The experience I had at Brides of America was very different from other retailers, I never felt pressured into buying a dress. I could tell that David is very passionate about what he does and that is something very rare to find these days. With David's help, I ended up saying YES to my dress at his shop, in fact I actually purchased the first one I even tried on and felt amazing in it. I feel so fortunate to have met David, who is a genuinely good and caring person. He went out of his way to even help me with my veil and jewelry. Not to mention, he also ordered my dress and made sure I recieved it and my veil (which were both also streamed) in time for my wedding. Whereas other retailers were offering me their samples with such little time prior to my wedding. The quality and value of the dresses at his shop are unbelievable. David is such an amazing and passionate person, there is a reason why his shop has been in business for many years. The customer service and professionalism are unbeatable. I definitely recommend his shop over and over again. Try it out for yourself, you will not be disappointed!!

Best shopping experience and bridal store in South FL!

I HIGHLY recommend going to Brides of America for your wedding dress, bridesmaids and mother of the bride shopping. It’s a must-visit. Not only is the selection amazing - the dresses are gorgeous and the highest quality, and there’s a lot of variety of styles- but David, the owner, is PHENOMENAL. He is an expert in fashion and bridal design, and he takes the time to really listen to what you want and like. He has a complete understanding for your body and what looks great on you, which makes him the ultimate partner in what’s typically such a stressful/ambiguous experience. I honestly had the best experience here and 10/10 recommend.

Amazing service

David is such a nice person. The only bridal shop I went to where someone took the time to talk to me and tried to understand me as a person before trying on wedding gowns. His attention, dedication an love for his profession made my visit to Brides of America one I will never forget. Thanks David and keep it up.
