Davids Bridal

I purchased my dress online during a sale and took it to the store for alterations. The alterations cost more than the dress and they didn't quite get the bust area correct. I was pulling my dress up through the whole reception. It was a beautiful dress and I don't regret the purchase.

I loved my dress, and it was very affordable, but unfortunately it needed some very slight alterations (no hem, just taking in at the bust and waste). The alterations department at this store is terrible. They are very unflexible, always overbooked, and repeatedly tell you "you look fine," even when your dress is literally falling off your shoulders. I was very disappointed.

I loved every second/minute/hour of my dress! I caught it on sale and it was the only one in the store and it was in my size! Talk about at the right place at the right time! so happy that I chose this dress!

My bridal consultant Sareh was so helpful and helped me find the perfect dresses for my wedding. I was very pleased with the selection, quality, and prices at David's Bridal.

They were a nightmare from the start! I bought my dress in the Macon, GA store while visiting my, soon to be, in-laws. After specifically asking if there would be any problem getting the dress cleaned, it was off the rack, (short notice,) I was told that it was no problem having it cleaned in the N. Charleston store, lie #1. I also asked, if there was any problem would I be able to return the dress to the N. Charleston store, I was told, no problem, lie #2. My fiancee' was going to wear his Marine Corps uniform, (a lot of white,) I had not considered that when I bought an ivory dress. When I went to return the dress, I was told there policy is all sales are final! As I sat on their couch crying, the manager agreed to let me exchange the dress for another, but I had 35 minutes...,"The store is closing and we are going home." I was shocked! Then they found the small spot on the dress that made me ask about cleaning in the beginning, that was a problem! The manager had to call the Macon, Ga store...all the while, I am completely upset and crying! Dress #2 was not what I wanted, and I was told it would be about $200 to alter it, lie #3 (I think they purposely make them so you will need a bunch of expensive alterations, but I digress.) When I was almost finished with the fitting, I asked how much it was going to cost. They told me $350!!! Again, I collapsed into my dress crying, as my maid-of-honor walked in. You have to pay for the alteration on the day of the fitting. I was prepared for the $200 fee, but $350 is a long way from $200, and I didn't even like the dress! Again, they relented and let me exchange the dress. They made what was supposed to be the happiest experience of my life, a truly miserable one. If cheap is want you want, then use them. If you want professionalism and service, go to a smaller store.

My Maid of Honor was sold the wrong color dress. How do you mistake Apple for Sangria...red vs. purple. The salesperson at that store assured her that the dress she was purchasing was Sangria...well she drove all the way to New Orleans and then realized the day of my wedding her dress was not the right color. She was devastated. There was nothing we could do about it..so she stood out in my wedding party for sure.

very friendly staff! Great to work with :D

David's Bridal was very helpful in finding the perfect wedding gown for my ceremony. The only thing I didn't like during the process was how the adviser kept bringing out dresses that I had previously said I didn't like. Otherwise, she was very professional and helped me get fitted into the perfect gown. I was extremely happy with my selection and couldn't have picked a more beautiful gown. I also selected my bridesmaid attire here and my attendants were thrilled with their dresses. The staff was very flexible on payment plans and even allowed me a week extension on my final payment. This greatly helped out considering all the wedding bills that kept piling up. I would definitely recommend them.

Great Dresses for great prices!

I got a beautiful dress for an excellent price. The service was good. My sales woman was a little scatter brained but she was helping several people at once so I probably shouldn't complain too much. I recommend shopping well in advance so that you have time for any alterations you need because you don't want the rush fee in addition to the other costs. Also go look on the racks yourself. That's how I found the dress I bought. It's nice to be served but walking around and looking at everything was very helpful. You get to see what's on sale; Over all I had a great experience and recommend this vendor.

I used David's for my bridesmaids dresses because they are located around the US for out-of-towners. They were certainly affordable but the service was terrible. Each time I went to the store I had to go and find someone to assist me where as local stores, such as Southern Bride, have such a friendly demeanor and are willing to help. What happened to "customer first?"

David's Bridal had a simple and affordable selection, as did J Crew. I let the girls choose their own black strapless dress. Both were great with delivery and alterations.

Bridal Gown:

David's Bridal makes wedding dress shopping as easy as it gets! They have a HUGE variety of dresses for all body shapes and sizes. I walked in with three photos of dresses from bridal magazines (these were not David's Bridal dresses). I like an element from each of the dresses, but none was perfect. I explained this to the lady who was helping me at the store. "I know of the right dress for you." A minute later, she came back holding the one. I knew it would be my dress before I even put it on. The sales people at David's really know their merchandise and are very helpful.

Alterations:

I had alterations done to my wedding gown one time to hem the sides around my wasit. The staff was entertaining and engaged me in conversation while they did their work. I felt like I was amongst my friends. The alterations took about a month, which I thought was a rather long time. I had lost weight in between my alteration and last fitting, and the staff was willling to go in again and fix anything that needed to be done. I felt a little uncomfortable for my last fitting because a male was doing the alterations. Also, I thought the alterations were rather expensive: about half of the cost of my dress.

I had a horrible experience with my consultant!! Would not reccomend them!!

they had such a great selection for the flower girls dress, She looked adorable and we got her outfit extremely quickly!!!

Found me the perfect dress, that I didn't even pick out. Took it upon themselves to go and find me something that fit me perfect, and that I didn't even think I would like

It was the worst store ever. The dresses that were "on sale" had shoe prints and pit stains. The sales people were very pushy. NEVER GO THERE.

David's helped me select all my Bridal fashion for my big day. I looked like a princess!! They were so helpful and professional every time I came in for a fitting. The alterations department did a wonderful job too. They cost a little extra for alterations but the people who work in there could be dress makers so it's worth it!!

They were very accommodating and I trusted them when they said that all of the girls would be able to get the dress altered and picked up on time. I LOVED THEM!!! They were able to help with all the flower girls and were willing to happily let all of my family come into the store and watch us all try on the dresses!! Even though all of my girls were different sizes and even some of them do not live in Charleston, they were all able to get their dresses altered and had no delays regarding delivery times. I was very pleased and would recommend them to anyone with large wedding parties!

They did not bother to let me know that my wedding color was being discontinuted. They also neglected to tell me that the flower girl dressed had to be hand made and take 12 weeks to do so. I found this out with 6 weeks to my wedding. They lied to me and said the flower girl dress I wanted cam ein my color when it never did. I wouldn't recomend them to my worst enemy.

Experience was good

It is what you would expect for the price. I think I bought the most expensive dress in the store at the time and it was beautiful except the size they ordered for me was a least an entire size too big and after alterations still was a little baggy on me.

I went in knowing what dress I wanted but they were really nice.

Because we had a very simple wedding, I chose a bridemaids dress as my wedding dress. It was perfect for our wedding, but once the associate found out that was all I was buying there, she wasn't very helpful at all.

very helpful saleswomen; very good price

I was always a firm believer that there was no need to spend the majority of the budget on a dress- being gorgeous is so much more than what you're wearing! I was really pleased with my gown from David's Bridal. I'm very petite, so a big plus for me was that they're large enough to stock all sizes, which meant I could actually try on dresses in my size. (Smaller dress shops can only afford to stock the average sizes, so you're supposed to imagine what it'll look like!) My dress was beautiful and it only cost me about $700- wouldn't change a thing! Sure, you may sacrifice a little of the 'being catered to' personal attention that you find in the small shops, but it more than balances out. Plus, your bridesmaids will thank you by not having to buy dresses that cost a fortune!
