David's Bridal (Brea, CA)

I am not a fan of the sales staff at this store. I had to go back and forth with many of them in the few times I had to visit the store. Fortunately, we did not have any problems with the dresses themselves.

The store did give us a very small percentage off of our dresses but it was too little too late.

They were extremely helpful and fun to work with! Great selection of dresses. I said I wasn't going to leave until I found a dress, and they made it happen!

I'll update my review in October after my dress arrives.

I went to David's Bridal two times before I found my dress. The first time wasn't as exciting but the second time around was fun and exciting. Asia is very helpful, but I think Vicki (the manager) made it fun and exciting. Vicki was able to look at my body type and to help me find a dress that complimented me well, and she gave me feedbacks that were genuine. The staff were all very enthused when I decided on the dress. I am excited to get my dress. The price was good for the dress, although I thought the accessories were pricey. We'll see if there is anything else to say when I do get my dress. Also, they give you a book of savings for everyone else in your wedding party, which is nice.
My bridesmaids also got their dresses there. We got lucky because the plum color I wanted was going to be discontinued shortly. The dresses complimented my wedding dress well. The color was the exact color I wanted so I was excited. Also, my bridesmaids liked the dress style, so they were happy.
The dresses were on sale, so we couldn't apply the coupon that offered $20 off a bridesmaid dress.
I was also happy that they were able to do an exchange for me. I initially purchased a tiara that was too expensive, but purchased it impulsively. After deciding I couldn't afford the tiara, I called DB and asked what I could they. They offered that I can do an exchange, which worked out because my mother-in-law needed a dress. I appreciated that they were accomodating.
I am getting my dress altered at this store because of my positive experiences, despite other locations being closer. During the alteration fitting, the lady - Maria (?) was doing a sales pitch with me, which was a bit annoying. However, I was firm enough to only sign and agree with what I wanted. The alteration was more costly than I expected, but I don't regret it. I also got their preservation kit. Although I don't plan to keep my dress, I thought the cleaning, and box that comes with it would help keep the dress in good shape so I can sell it. I figured the cleaning cost would be equally priced at a dry cleaners.
UPDATE:
I was very unhappy with the alteration done by Maria Elena (alteration manager). She is very pushy and insisted that I had to move my back panel to make it bigger so my skin is not bunched up. However, I told her I planned on losing weight and toning up. She said that I needed to do it. One week before the wedding, I tried on my dress and was very concerned when my dress did not fit me and was going to fall off my body (its a strapless dress). My bridesmaid began telling me that I needed butt padding, and that I had one week to gain some weight to fit into the dress. It was very disappointing that its her job to know what's right, and she gave me the wrong recommendation. It was one week before the wedding, and I had no time to find someone to alter it for me again, so my only choice was to gain weight, and to tighten up the corset backing.
