Davids Bridal

Casey help me out at the Eugene, OR David's Bridal. I had a wonderful experience. My bridesmaids, friends, and I went in and I only tried on 3 dresses before I found "The ONE!" It made me cry! Casey was very attentive, and quick to get what we needed.

For what it is, David's Bridal is not that bad. I'll grant you that it's the Wal-Mart of bridal boutiques. When you consider how much emphasis the Wedding Industrial Complex places on The Dress, and being "princess for a day," many brides might be disappointed at David's Bridal. You will not be served champagne in a luxurious salon with beautiful fresh flowers. You will also be spending hundreds less on a dress you will wear for one day.

I got engaged in March 2010 and was planning on a July 2010 wedding. Knowing how much time it can take to alter a gown, I went shopping almost immediately. As a plus size woman, I knew my options would be limited in most bridal boutiques. My budget was similarly limited. So, David's Bridal it was. I had a positive experience. The consultant who helped me was friendly and attentive, and she did not rush me or make me feel bad about myself or my body. I found a lovely dress that made everyone squeal with excitement when I walked out of the dressing room. Is it a beautiful silk gown hand-sewn by Vera Wang? No, but it will look pretty in pictures, it fit, and it didn't bust the budget.

If you are plus-sized, or have a limited budget, David's Bridal is a reasonable place to search for your gown. Keep your expectations in check about what you will find and what the gown shopping experience will be like (avoid "Say Yes to the Dress" beforehand), and you may be pleasantly surprised. Bonus: if you have a short engagement or need to buy a dress in a hurry, you are likely to be able to take a dress home the same day, avoiding the months-long wait at other boutiques.

David's bridal is a wonderful store to shop at, they have beautiful dresses and great prices, and are willing to work with you when you're on a budget. I would definetely recommend them and already have

Living in a small town I didn't have much of choices for wedding dress shopping so we headed up to Eugene's David Bridal. I was there less then an hour and found my dress, perfect and within my budget. I was not real pleased with my consultant or the size of their dressing rooms but I made it work. Overall, I would still recommend them to anyone looking for that special day.

I bought the very first dress I tried on! Gorgeous!

I bought my wedding dress from David's Bridal and am very happy with my decision. While the girls working there didn't have the most expansive knowledge, you shouldn't be expecting super boutique service from a department store style dress gallery. I bought my dress for an extremely reasonable price and it was quick and easy to get in and out of the store. If you are looking for couture I suggest something like Kleinfeld's but if you're a bride on a budget with an idea of what she wants I would totally suggest David's Bridal.

They were friendly and professional when I was in the shop. My dress and all my alterations turned out great.

It really depended on when I went in to the store, some of the times I was not greeted at all, some of the times they were very friendly. The lady who helped me when trying on my dress was amazing and friendly and very personable. However, a few of the women working their were rude and stand off-ish. Making me feel like I was a bother. When I went in with my maid of honor to pick her dress we were not greeted or asked if we needed help at any point, until we asked someone. The quality of the dresses was wonderful however. The seamstresses were very kind, and my dress was finished in a timely manner. I would recommend Davids bridal for the quality of the work of the seamstress and the quality of the dress, though the professionalism and willing to help could use a little work from the rest of the team there.

When I decided to order my dress, I actually found it at the David's in Portland which was fine because I knew the one in Eugene would have the dresses for my bridesmaids...Once I ordered my dress, paid to have it shipped to the Eugene store, and paid 400 dollars for alterations, I was praying nothing else would go wrong, but I was wrong. The day of my wedding, two hours before the ceremony, one of my girls had the zipper on their dress break. I called David's incredibly upset and talked to a very rude manager who said I needed to get in my car, in my wedding dress, and drive the broken dress to them...Needless to say, I finally was able to get someone to drive out and fix the dress, but I wouldn't use them again.

I never thought I would buy a dress from David's Bridal because a lot of my firiends said the quality was not good but I found the perfect dress and had a great experience doing it. The sales assoiciate helped me find the right undergarments for my body and helped me pick a great dress that fit my budget and looked wonderful on me.

We ordered our bridesmaid dresses from Davids. They were very helpful and friendly. The dresses arrived on time and with no problems.

My dress was amazing and everyone at this store was very helpful.

My consultant was friendly enough however even though it's by appointment only and it was the middle of the week she was the only consultant there and she was completely over booked. They had asked me to go to the website and choose what dresses I would like to try on before my appointment, which I did. But when I got there they acted like they have never heard of anyone doing something like that, so it was a total waste of my time!

I would NEVER recommend David's Bridal to any of my friends... sure they have decent prices and lots to choose from, but when it comes to anything else it was no good! When I found my dress at DB I didn't have the money right then to buy it... I asked the sales lady who was helping me to write down the price of the dress, sash, veil, etc. (there was a sale going on at the time)! When I came back about a week later to purchase the dress (the same sale was still going on) they charged me $75 more than she had written down, luckily I had the money cause they weren't going to budge and give me the price she had written!
The same day that I went in to try on dresses for myself I took all of my bridesmaids to try on dresses! One of the girls is larger than the rest so we had a big problem trying to find dresses that would fit everyone! Then when they didn't have the size she needed in the one that we had all decided that we liked for them, our attendant told us that she would order the size we thought she needed in the right color so that if it fit we could just buy it! When we called two weeks later to see if it had come in yet they said that it never got ordered! And... that there wasn't another one in that size or color anywhere in the United States... that it would have to come from Europe and it wouldn't arrive until June 28th.. the day after my wedding!!
Like I said I WOULD NEVER EVER SEND ANY OF MY FRIENDS TO DAVID'S BRIDAL!

I LOVE my dress I got from Davids Bridal. The only thing I was dissappointed with was that I was never told my dress didn't bussell and that it would cost me additional to have it done. I was very dissappointed when I called in to find out how to bussell it to be told this 3wks before my wedding and that the cost would likely be $140.00 more to have it done if it could even get done in time!! I really feel like this should of been explained when I bought it!!

I had a wonderful experience with this shop! They were very helpful, listened to my ideas and helped me find the perfect dress for my wedding. While helping me try on dresses, the sales associate listened to what I like and disliked about each dress. Towards the end of my appointment she came back with one more dress for me to try on. It was perfect and was exactly what I was looking for. :-)

I got my wedding dress, my bridesmaids' dresses and my mom got her dress all at Davids. They were very helpful and nice. I did have a few issues with my alterations but they were fixed within a few days.

They had the perfect color and style! I ordered my invitations through them and really loved them!

I didn't expect to find my dress here, but it was one of the first I tried on and I loved it. The salespeople were very helpful and friendly, and the alterations turned out perfectly.

My 4 bridesmaids bought their dresses from David's Bridal and I can't recommend them. When I started shopping for a bridal dress, I assumed I'd find something there so I made an appointment to try on some dresses. When I first entered the store, it was so exciting with so much variety and rows after row of sparkling white dresses. It quickly became apparent that the general process is for associates to choose dresses for clients or to pull dresses from the floor that a client has already shopped for online and saved on their registry. I wanted to actually browse the aisles and see the dresses in person to pick out what I wanted to try on. The associate only grudgingly agreed to this. I tried on 6 dresses, their limit for an appt, and wasn't thrilled with any of them. Most of them were beautiful on the hanger but fit horribly. I'm tall and thin and the dresses fit like they were designed for shorter, more full-figured women. I came back on several different occasions to look at their veils (horribly over-priced but beautiful and they have a wide variety), shoes (not much variety, especially since I was looking for elegant, strappy flats and they have mostly heals), and jewelry (horribly over-priced for cheap rhinestone pieces). I finally found my dream dress at a bridal boutique in Cottage Grove, but because it was more expensive than I initially wanted to spend, paid David's Bridal one more visit to try on bridal gowns. I came across a dress that was very similar to my "dream dress" and tried it on. It was terrible. The material felt cheap and thin, I didn't like the big floofy skirt that came with it, and like their other dresses, it fit very poorly. The associate assured me the dress looked great when it didn't and that I would never find a dress that didn't need alterations. She assured me their seamstress could take in the bodice, put in the bustle I wanted, and hem up the skirt for only $180.00. When added to the tag price on the dress, it cost more than the Maggie Sottero original I'd found that didn't need a single alteration. It fit me like it was made just for me. I left the store and won't go back.

Unfortunately, because my bridesmaids live in 4 different states, I still decided to have them pick their dresses from David's. It was a disaster. All 4 girls paid different prices. One was given a 20% discount because (she was told) 3 or more bridesmaids were on my registry and were all getting their dresses there. My sister found out about the discount and asked for it at her store in Spokane, Washington, but she was told they don't do discounts like that. On top of that, the exact dress she needed was on the sales floor but the zipper was ripped out in the back. The lady said she could sell it at a 10% discount but it was still out of my sister's price range so she left. She came back several weeks later intending to buy it and this time was told by a separate associate that they don't discount and sell damaged items and that that dress had already been sent to the seamstress to be fixed. My sister browsed for something else and found that exact dress on the sales floor with the zipper still ripped out. She ended up having to call around to find the dress at a David's in California, paid 20$ for the shipping on a tiny, light-weight dress with no expedited shipping, and when the dress arrived, it had a stain on the back. She paid just over $150 for a stained dress.

The only reason I would ever recommend for someone to go into a David's Bridal is to shop for what you want and buy it elsewhere. I was able to try on their veils, found the exact style I liked, and bought it brand new through eBay from a bridal shop in Washington for $16.00. It was $175 at David's.

I can't recommend them.

I started my search for the perfect dress at DB in Milwaukee, OR. My experience there was the worst customer service I have ever had. I had made an appointment and yet my consultant was too busy helping everyone else but me. When I asked one of my bridesmaids to help me switch dresses, since I had been waiting for well over 20 minutes to try on the second dress the consultant got upset and said it was her job to help me. When I found a dress that I liked I was told that I would have to order 2 sizes bigger then what I wear, because the dresses here run small, and they only had one left on the rack in that size so I had better choose soon. I left the store upset and not wanting to try anymore dresses or stores.
My maid of honor asked to meet me at the DB in Kaiser, OR to try on a few dresses there. Still upset with the last service I made my appointment and prepared myself for the experience. When we arrived at DB we were greeted with kind smiles and my consultant went out of her way to help me find the dress that was right for me. We found a dress similar to the one I had tried at the other DB, in my size, a last year’s model that was marked down. I was quoted a price and left to think about it. On our way to dinner the consultant called and apologized for misquoting it was actually a lot less then she had first quoted. We returned and purchased the dress and veil and all four bridesmaids dresses.
I would highly recommend avoiding DB in Milwaukee and going to Kaiser for a relaxing and fun experience of finding the perfect dress.

I fell in love with a wedding dress at David's Bridal and did end up buying it and loving it. However the service was terrible and had I felt I could have found the same dress for the same price (or even a little bit more) elsewhere I would have. Great value, but VERY poor customer service.

They were very good at calling me back every time a brides maid dress came in! they were also helpful with my purchase.

Davids Bridal is a great place for brides who want a great dress, but would rather not spend thousands. It's obviously not a fab, high-end boutique, although the dresses were of great quality, everyone was very kind and I found my dream dress!! Alterations were a little stressful- it takes them quite a while, and I could never get a for sure date that my dress would be finished.

I loved the color basics for bridesmaids. I had dress syles that would not match all women, and the color basic was able to get my girls in dresses that did not match in style, but matched in color. And they had discounted dresses too. I love them.

Not very helpful, and expensive for everything but the wedding dress, which I bought on clearance. Bought my bridesmdaids dresses elsewhere for $20 each. Seemed to think they were too good for me.

Very Kind, very flexible especially with some special issues!

The employees were generally unwilling to give me advice,find my dress size or help me get into the dress. The dress sale is a laugh, only certain sizes are on sale.

They were great...Very helpful, and had the dress I wanted in stock.

I loved my dress! I would recommend them to anyone!

The sales ladies were very attentative and let me have a whole half of the store for my bridesmaids and me. There were other people there, so it was a little less intimate than I had hoped, but overall the dress was perfect, and I got a sale on my bridesmaids dresses because I got my wedding dress there as well.

Did not really know what I was looking for in a dress, so I chose by price. Not a lot of options in my size, and not many simple dresses, but I did find something that worked for me at an unbelievable price--less than $300! It's David's Bridal, so you kind of know what to expect. Little bit too much of a "mall" type feeling. Had fittings done elsewhere.

I bought my veil and hairpiece from this location. The staff was very friendly.

I also bought my shoes here and had them dyed to match my dress color. They shipped them to me in California, which was great.

Got my wedding dress, all bridesmaids dresses and flower girl dress in the same place! They did fitting and sizing in a very professional and speedy manner.

It was a very easy vendor. Went in to find a dress and found a great value quickly and with help. Also found accessories and shoes.

I had visited other bridal stores but decided to go with David's bridal because it is so well known and I thought that they would do a good job. They were okay and if I were to do it all over again, I would have gone to Bridal Exclusives over in the Clackamas Promenade, by the shopping center up in Portland, OR.

I really enjoyed my consultant. She listened to what I wanted in a dress and found the perfect veil and tiara. It was a little more than I was expecting to spend with the alterations and it took a little longer tan I would have hoped for but overall I enjoyed my experience. I have recommended this store to several friends and they all had nothing but good things to say also.

Found the wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dress, and mother of the bride dress all in one location! Staff was lovely to work with and we had a very good experience.

I thought they had some cute stuff, and did go with them. BUT they are spendy

I was thrilled to work with the ladies at David's Bridal, they were so helpful and very accomodating to my 7 bridesmaids, all of whom were spread across Oregon and Washington. They were a joy!

Very nice, helpful staff. GREAT sales! I literally found my dream dress, jewelry, shoes, veil, etc all in one place! It was beautiful!

Appointment is required. There is not enough staff to accomodate each bride or bridal party. Dresses are inexpensive, but decent quality. Many options available.

I love my dress! I got great service, and the dress I wanted at a sale price! They were very attentive and supportive of my choices, and they had a lot of options. In the end, I got the dress I'd seen in the catalog, and it was perfect.

I loved their dresses, some were way to expensive, but they helped me find the dress that I needed!
