David's Bridal

What are everyone's thoughts on David's Bridal? Do they have a good selection for a good price or should I skip them? I'm looking into an organza type dress but am worried they won't have something I like enough!

Also, I live in a small town where I have to drive 2 hours for dress shopping and my mom is driving 6 hours to come. I need to find a dress in one day.

    I didn't like the dresses that much (they didn't have my keyhole back dress), but the experience was just fine. I did end up getting my shoes there and invitations online.

    Mixed feelings with David's bridal. I liked that they had a plus size section and that they are budget friendly, but I am having issues getting accurate pick up information for my dress and my flower girl dress.

    I had a good experience at mine. The only disappointment was a lot of dresses I liked online (that said available in stores) weren't available at the DB I went to. But regardless, my consultant found something that I absolutely loved and in budget.

    Over the several appointments I had made at a couple of different stores I had pretty mixed experience every time I went in. It really depends on the consultant person you get. I love my dress, it was very affordable, and most of the people I dealt with were nice at least. Not super helpful most of the time, I felt like no matter how I tried to explain what I liked most or really wanted they kind of went over their head or something. My FH ended up picking out the dress I fell in love with. The lady who talked with me about my alterations was very stand off ish not really rude but not nice either.

    I went to Davids and didn't find nothing that i liked, i had a budget but still decided to look around and went to a boutique and found my dress. I think you should give ot a try everywhere, salons/boutiques also have some nice sales or maybe discounts and discontinue dresses.. i say look everywhere and if you have a budget stick to it David's is not you only option i say

    I got an organza lace ball gown from DB, and I loved my experience! I know you'll hear very mixed reviews about DB on here, but it's based on location. Look at your local stores Yelp page and check reviews and then move forward if you're pleased with what you've read.

    I had a great experience there, however, I ended up buying one at a local boutique.

    Trying to find a dress in one day. No pressure. But David's Bridal is a hit or miss. I think they have very nice dresses and good prices. Your actual "experience" will depend on the location and when you go. I'd suggest going early on the weekend or during the week

    I got my dress there in less that two hours. It wasn't the greatest experience but it wasn't bad either.

    Loved the workers-hated the dress choices. I felt ugly in every dress. However, once I started looking at designers i liked in magazines, then i went into bridal boutique shoppes and showed the designers I liked....the employees helped me find similar styles and I found a boutique dress for less than $800!

    I loved it DB, in my budget. She saw my vision and I didn't even get the dress I always dreamed I would wear. I love the dressed I ended up with and it arrived earlier than expected. My mother just found her dress there this past weekend and is very happy. Good luck. My assist was great even after I was late due to traffic.

    I agree with all the statements about each store being different. One of my biggest disappointments was showing up and realizing one of the dresses I *really* wanted to try on wasn't in a sample size that would fit me. I might recommend that if you have a few top favorites you've found on the website, that you call the individual store in advance to find out if they have a sample, and if so, if it's a sample that will fit you. That said - I found my dress at David's, and it wasn't it on my "like" list from the website! My stylist was amazing; she listened so carefully to what I said i was liking and hating, and kept on pulling dresses for me. I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars at a salon, which was what led me to David's in the first place. I found a beautiful dress that I can't wait to wear for $550.

    I had mostly positive experiences with David's. I bought my dress there and it was great; I had a really helpful consultant and got a great deal. I went once to look for BM dresses by myself and once to look for MOB dresses with my mom with no luck and I wasn't thrilled with the services in those instances, but when it came to order BM dresses I didn't have a single issue.

    I was also very fortunate with my MOH - she waited too long to order her dress and we ended up buying a sample dress 2 weeks before the wedding. The staff were super helpful in searching the samples for dresses in the right color and we found the ONLY dress in the right color that would fit her.

    I had a decent experience at David's bridal, but didn't find my dress there. I did purchase a lovely organza horsehair ball gown from a shop that sold mori Lee gowns, so I'd recommend that designer if you don't find what you like at David's! They are relatively affordable as well

    I went to David's first to try each silhouette of dress to see which fit my body best, and then went to salons the actually look at dresses. I found that some of the dresses at David's were just as expensive as the salon.
