David's Bridal (San Antonio, TX)

I really enjoyed the services offered at David's Bridal. I went to David's Bridal after a bridal fair to see what they had even before we had selected a wedding date. It was early in planning and I had absolutely no idea what I was looking for and what to expect. They were very helpful - I tried on every dress in the store - and its really a funny story. I fell madly in love with the first dress I tired on... but I thought its couldn't be that easy and felt like I needed to try more dresses on. Every dress after that was compared to the first, and the sales associate offered to stay late in order to help me decide. She even turned down the lights to show me how the dress sparkled. It was a very unique, personal experience. I cried and knew the dress was for me.
However, I hesitated and felt like I needed to look at more dress stores. I did not share the same experience anywhere else and actually felt the service was very poor. David's Bridal offers a personal experience and they continue to follow up with you even after your wedding. The dress was absolutely perfect, the alterations easy, the customer service fantastic - I couldn't be happier.

If you are working on a low to moderate budget it is great. They have a large selection of colors, designs, and sizes. On the other hand, you get the service you pay for. It was almost always packed when I went in....there were kids running around and I even saw men a couple of times in the fitting area. My bridesmaids had there shoes died there and that was a disaster. One of my bridesmaids went to pick up her shoes that were supposed to have been ready 2 days earlier and they went to the back to get them and the lady handed them to her still wet with dye. When she picked up the shoe the dye was all over her hands and the color didnt match. She had to have them re-done and luckily they were finished just in time. They are horrible if you want o return something. I had bought a sample sash for color comparison and went to return it never used just one day after their 90 day policy and they didnt even make an effort to help me. All I wanted was store credit and they would not work with me at all. Overall, I think they were ok, but if you are looking for the one on one time and in my opinion better service I would recommend Alfred Angelo.

We decided to order our dresses from David's Bridal. The plus to ordering from this store is that they have a great variety of colors, styles and sizes and are also less expensive than most bridesmaid dress shops. They took down all of our bridesmaids names, sizes, and contact information and did all of the work for us! They called them in to try on dresses, and made sure that they would be ordered in time for our special day. Even though two of our 8 bridesmaids were out of town, they made sure to get in touch with the girl's local store and schedule their appointments to get fitted. It saved us lots of time and kept my fiancee from the added stress of having keep in contact with everyone and make sure that they were all on track for ordering the dresses. The only downfall to shopping here is that it tends to be very crowded. Granted, we were always there on a Saturday. We were still helped in a timely manner, even when the store was crowded though and they always seemed to have enough staff on hand to accommodate the crowd.

David's was great. My roommate and my sister were my attendants. My sister lives in Seattle. So one weekend when mom was out in Seattle to visit, my mom and sister with to the Seattle Davids, and my roommate went to the one here in San Antonio. Since they are located in so many locations, it was easy to try on dresses together via cell phones. Mom and I were on the phone with the bridesmaids magazine and marking the dresses that looked good on the girls. We finally agree on a beautiful dress that was a similar style to mine. It was a fun afternoon and felt like we were together even though we were so far apart.

Wonderful dress but the lady I had helping me was very pushy and really did not listen to what I wanted. She pushed off a dress on me that I really did not like. Their website for the bride and groom is wonderful.

I bought my dress here and had a great experience. I didn't know what I was looking for, but the sales associate was very helpful in picking several that met my very vague instructions. I actually found the one I wanted my first trip!

I picked a simple bridesmaid dress style from David's Bridal and was very pleased with the customer service. My attendants were from all over the US and so I needed a chain that could serve them all - David's worked great! They were able to go to a place near them, try one on, and place an order very easily.

My flower girl got her dress from David's Bridal. It was very convenient because her sister was also a bridesmaid and they were able to get them from the same location. I liked that her dress was basic white with a sash to match the other girls. The service was good too.
