Davids Bridal

I bought my wedding dress 2 months prior to my wedding on SALE!!! My first visit to the Northridge store, I had a sales person that wasn't too helpful to what I was looking for based on my age, body-type and budget. The store was crowded and overwhelming to get any personalized attention.On my second visit....and I highly recommend Mondays at 5:30PM, I had this store all to myself!! The sales person this time around showed me 5 dresses, I tried on ONE and walked out of the store withing 40 minutes with my dream dress.This location is very busy and if you're a 40+ bride to be like I was, the dressing room areas filled with young 20 somethings, all their girlfriends, their moms, their grandmothers and in one case, the GROOM....it can be very distracting to really find your dress.I'd still recommend David's bridal for their value and quality.

It was extremely crowded when I decided to stop in right before boarding a plane back to Seattle. Eilish was awesome in helping me find a dress, and an expert in lacing it up quickly! She had no problem hunting down accessories for me to try. The dress got numerous compliments at the wedding, and fit beautifully without any additional tailoring needed.

I went here with my mom and we found the perfect dress. I was a little surprised that the person who was helping us did not really stay with us to help me out. I had to put on my own dresses. She would check in every now and then. The dress I picked was gorgeous but they definitely get you on alterations. They were super expensive! They were more expensive that the actual dress. However I would recommend buy a dress here any day...just maybe get your dress altered somewhere else.

Loved my dress- I went to David's because I didn't want to pay a lot of money and I wanted to be able to try on a variety of dresses (plus size bride.) I would not return on a weekend, the place was a madhouse and felt very impersonal, but when I went in to order my dress on a weekday evening I got very good service and the store was almost empty. My junk mail got spammed, which I knew to expect, but what I didn't expect was that the only notification I would get that my dress was in was through e-mail, so I almost missed it. A phone call would have been more helpful.

I loved my dress and got it for a great price!!

My brother's wedding was quickly approaching and his fiance was out of the country. I was constantly on the phone with her in Egypt and online looking for dresses. She finally found the dress for her. As soon as she found it I drove from Los Angeles to Northridge to get her dress as well as the bridesmaid dresses. As soon as I got there I ordered the dress for her. The sales associates were extremely helpful! After ordering the dresses I was told that the bride's dress would be available less than a week before the wedding. I talked to Barbra and she reassured me that the dress would be available on time. She had all the dresses and accessories rushed. Thankfully, everything was available on time. we had several fittings for the dresses and everything was Perfect for the wedding day! Thank you David's Bridal Northridge.

David's Bridal was professional, welcoming and helpful.I felt like I had my personal assistant through out the fitting which made me very comfortable.Davids Bridal has many selections and has a very reasonable price for brand named new gowns / dresses. And they have many selections of accessories as well.My dress was ordered and arrived in one month.They steamed my dress and veil for free two weeks prior when I brought it back.Davids Bridal also has a lot of selections for the wedding party.Thank you for the great experience!

I had a few frustrating moments with David's Bridal...the rehearsal dress that was advertised online but wasn't available in any of the stores; the requirement that we make an appt. to do anything there; the purse that I ordered that I had to drive 2 hours to pick up; the way that we'd walk into the store and had to wait 20 minutes to get served...The dress was great and the alterations department was incredibly efficient. However, the sales people were well...VERY unimpressive.

I was surprised to find the perfect-for-me, antique-looking lace gown at David's. I had expected they catered more to the very young bride. All of the sales staff were supportive, truthful, helpful, full of information, and an absolute delight. I had a little trouble with the alterations department who forgot to notify me when they were ready for my second fitting and could never find my dress or name when I called, giving me minor heart-attacks. Still I recommend them. Very reasonably priced and helpful and totally came through for me in the end.

When I went here for the first time to look at wedding dresses the woman I worked with was very helpful in finding me what I was looking for. I did have a scare when I went to pick up my dress after my final fitting to take it home after the woman at the front desk said they didn't have my dress. I was freaking out. Then another woman took me to the back fitting area to look for it but started saying it was not back there either. I continued to freak out. Finally she found it in the back. Not something a bride wants to worry about two weeks before the wedding is a missing wedding dress. Not very organized.

I loved the experience I had with getting my dress!

I was very surprised to find a dress I liked at David's Bridal. It was $900, plus $200 worth of alterations. DB definitely gouges you any way they can. Yes, they have cheap dresses, but most of them are not worth the price. However, I was very happy with my dress. Get yours altered elsewhere and don't buy anything but the dress there and you'll save a lot.

I had a short engagement of only 5 months so I immediately went dress shopping. When I first picket out bridesmaid dresses they said I had plenty of time to order them. When we finally ordered them a month latter it turned into a huge mess. One sales lady said my color was "new" and therefore not available, another lady had us pay for the dresses only to call us back a week later to say the color was "discontinued" and no longer available. Nobody had knowledge on what was really going on. Had they told me that when I first picked the dress I would have had time to find something else but didn't. When I went to have my dress bustled... they continued to tell me there was only "one way" to do it. After three failed attempts with three different alteration ladies I finally had my last "only way" work. Don't give up and fight for what you want. I will not recommend David's Bridal to my friends.

This wholesale bridal mill has a corner on the market in our area, so they can afford to have rude, snobbish, unfriendly staff. We called for an appointment and then were made to wait 20 minutes once we got there; even though there were three girls standing talking to each other instead of helping customers. Once one of them decided to help us (after being spoken to by a manager), she was sulky and rude. Refused to help me find a dress within my budget, and pretty much told me I should look else where for a gown. It was made very evident to us over three visits in an attempt to find a bridal gown and wedding party dresses, that Davids doesn't care what their customers want. The alteration seamstresses were in the same line as the wait staff. Grouchy and unhelpful. The bridesmaids gowns came back looking as though they hadn't been altered at all. They don't train their staff to make a wedding party feel important or even respected. And as if that weren't enough, their prices for the quality were outrageous. Most of the gowns were sweat shop work quality, and the price charged was three times what it ought to have been, as was the charge for alterations. I will never shop here again.

I got my dress during one of David's $99 dress sales. People couldn't believe it was only $99! It fit perfectly and the ladies who did the alterations did a great job, too. I was going to get my bridesmaids dresses there also, but they were a little expensive for my bridesmaids. The staff was friendly and helpful, but when I went in for my appointments (fittings and to look for bridesmaids dresses) they seemed a little short staffed. I kept losing the girl who was helping us and had to go find her. Other than that they have a great selection and beautiful dresses. You can find a wonderful, inexpensive dress if you really want to.

My wedding dress was absolutely beautiful. However, David's Bridal has virtually no costumer service when you order items online. I ordered three pairs of shoes online from DB and they did not match my bridesmaids dresses, but DB did not allow me to return the shoes...I had to eat the cost and they are still sitting in my closet. All sales are final here so make sure you are 100% sure about your purchase.

I had a fairly good experience with David's Bridal in Northridge. There was a small disagreement where one of the sales ladies was trying to tell me that because my maid of honor ordered her dress two days after the other girls, it would take a month and a half longer to get here, but because they ordered the dresses so early, it wasn't a problem.

Salesperson was pretty helpful. I had some idea on picking out my gown, so it went faily smooth. After trying 4 or 5 dresses, I decided which gown to go for.

But alteration department is not so good. Took forever for them to do the alteration, almost 2 months.

But overall experience was ok.


***Update after the wedding***
When I put on the dress on my wedding day, the hook above the zipper fell! I was like shocked for 30 seconds. It's pratically a brand new dress (only tried it on 3 times). They need a better quality control.

There wasn't much to choose from but since I had bridesmaids from all over the state, they were the easist choice.

David's Bridal did end up having the dress of my dreams. When I got there just to randomly look, they gave me a hard time about setting up an appointment. I set one up later and the girl who helped me looked like she could've cared less and kept disappearing. Once I bought the dress, it was given to me in a plastic bag. I hung it in another room only to find out, a few months later, that any kind of sun contact along with the plastic turned the dress yellow in some spots. I don't know these things. A little care card from the shop could've fixed this very easily. I was better off keeping the dress in the trunk of my car. Luckily, it came out. David's has a ton of options, which is good, but you don't get that feel that they want you there or care about what happens after you leave.

Davids Bridal is the worst bridal store ever created. I went to the one in Northridge and had the worse service. We had an appointment scheduled and wasn't seen until an hour later. Once we were seen, the lady sent to us, was all over the place. She was helping others rather than helping us. We had to find our own dresses and the sizes we needed weren't there for try-on. My sister was the bride, and found a dress and a veil, that was $235.00. When the order was ready for pick up, everything was wrong. They gave my sister an old bra ripped bra (which was not even close to the one she ordered), they told her to her face that they gave her veil to another customer, the dress she ordered was a the try-on dress that had a a broken zipper, broken latch, and to top that off the dress was filthy!!! The bridesmaid dresses were a different style and the shoes were dyed the wrong color!!! Afterward, my sister insisted that she get a full refund on her order, and they only wanted to give her half!!! Not to mention her wedding was in a month!!!! Service was so horrible it got to the point where my sister had to take them to court for a full refund, not to mention Davids Bridal moved her court date just days before her wedding!!! I do NOT recommend anyone going her for there wedding or any important event in your life!!!

This David's Bridal helped me pick my beautiful wedding dress and saved me some money. When I saw my husband for the first time he could not stop looking at me and my dress. He thought that I spent thousands on my dress, but in all actuallity I spent under one thousand. I only wish I could wear it more then one day, but hey there is always the renewal.

A good go to store, they have everything there.

The third star "quality and service" was added because the seamstress was more helpful than anyone on the sales floor, but definitely would say that customer service was not the mantra at this store. My daughter purchased her dress at a very helpful and accommodating David's Bridal in Novi Michigan. But when she needed alterations near her home, she had to go to the store in Northridge, where we also bought the flower girls dress. We were ignored when looking for a sales person or told to go "over to the rack" and pointed in the direction when we inquired about the dresses. Definitely not the great service received in Michigan. My daughter and I had difficulty communicating with the seamstress, who seemed inflexible about a time for a second fitting (my daughter works quite far from the store and could only go after 7:00- to which the response was to tell my daughter when to come back. Finally, at the final pick up there was more attentiveness and help. In the end the dress was beautiful and fit well and the cost was very reasonable. The value for cost was not so good when it came to accessories- veil, jewelry, purses shoes- overpriced. The flower girl's dress was cute, but 1/4 the cost of the bridal gown... not a good value. All in all, I would not recommend the store in Northridge. I would however, recommend the gowns- great prices! (Dress: $400.)

Loved my dress. Gloria was the best :) Should have got the bridesmaids dresses there also.... would have been so much less stressful...

Wished we would have shopped around more before purchasing. Way overpriced, and the service was not all that great.

I had a great experience with David's Bridal. The staff was extremely helpful....especially Georgina.I loved the dress that I found. It was reasonably priced and needed very little alterations. The amount spent included my dress, veil, a dress for the maid of honor and bridesmaid, a shawl, a flower girl dress, a tiara for the flower girl and alterations for my dress.

At first, when I got here the lady that casually tried to semi-help me was very rude. So I decided to get a dress online. Then after a while, I wanted to try again. The second time around worked out for me better since the other sales lady was so much more warm and friendly. I got my beautiful gown here for my ceremony and lunch reception.

Horrible customer service! I could never recommend the David's Bridal in Northridge. I went with my bridesmaids to try on wedding gowns. I told the woman helping me exactly what dresses I liked and wanted to try on. She didn't listen to me at all. She brought me mermaid gowns and I told her that I liked ball gowns. She was very rude and did not seem like she even cared if I was there. She even asked me if I was happy to be getting married!

A few months later, my bridesmaids found dresses they loved so they were sized and a consultant wrote down their information. Unfortunately, one of my bridesmaids could not make it that day, so a week later I went with her to get sized at David's Bridal. When we got to the store, they lost my other bridesmaids' sizes and did not apologize. They kept saying, "Don't worry". In a week they lost the information! This store is so unprofessional!

I'm not the only one with problems with this store. A friend of mine got married in October and one of her bridesmaids was a size 2 and her dress came in a size 12! This was less than a week before her wedding! Talk about getting stressed. Another friend had her dress altered and they made it too small! Also, she had her shoes dyed red and it turned out horrible. Avoid this store!

David's Bridal Northridge (Across from Northridge Mall) Grade B

I went to my David's Bridal appointment and when I went in it was very clean and cool (Hot day). I had to wait about 5 minutes for someone to attend to me. Then when I finally got attended to, I had to wait another 5 mins for her to get off the phone, mind you that there are other sales persons there. Once she finished with the phone, another sales person attended me. She was a doll. I told her that I didn't know exactly what I wanted so she brought me everything in my size. She wasn't pushy or impatient. Even though I didn't get my dress there (I bought a Maggie Sottero) she marked all the dress I tried on in the catolgue book. I do recommend going to this David's Bridal.

The dress was BEAUTIFUL and fit perfectly. The associate helping me find it was amazing. Then came the tailoring... (fixing beading and bustling it). They have my dress and my 5 BM dresses for 6 WEEKS and only my dress had been bustled. None of them were cleaned or pressed and the beads on my dress were still missing, even on the bust area! After some arguing they fixed everything in 5 hours, but it was a big headache. I’d recommend the place, but be sure to set your dress in early for tailoring.

I went to a few David's bridal and this place is by far the worst! This one is just around the corner from me, but I ended up at the one in Burbank because they were much nicer there. and to be honest, even though the dresses at David's bridal may be cheaper, you do get what you pay for. all the dress there just don't quite fit like they do with a designer's dress.

David's Bridal was an easy and affordable choice for purchasing my wedding gown. With multiple locations, it was very convenient to find a location near me. The prices were reasonable and the selection was very diverse. I went in 3 times before finding the perfect dress. i would highly recommend David's Bridal to any practical girl who want a reasonably priced, yet beautiful gown for her wedding day.

I had a great experience with David's Bridal. They have a large selection and it was easy for my bridesmaids to find what they wanted. Also, since they are a chain store it was no problem for my friend in another state to just visit her local store and order hers. I had some problems with the order so I would recommend that you check in with them frequently for updates, shop early, and always check the dresses while you are still in the store to ensure they are accurate.

Dresses were beautiful. Took a while to ship out. Could only order through the home store in order to secure a discount. Sizes were not consistent

David's Bridal Northridge truly provided me with excellent customer service in all areas. My dress was so affordable and absolutely gorgeous. My guests could not believe the price I paid. Every person I dealt with there were very friendly and helpful. And most of all the fitting department was extremely flexible with booking my appointments. Even when I accidentally missed my last fitting and I was freaking out. They made it very convenient for me to get in before my wedding. 5 stars all the way around!!!

The customer service was horrible. I had already ordered my dress online but I went into the Northridge store to look at other dresses and the sales people working there were rude to me. They did not even go out of their way to help me and made me feel disrespected.

I hate to say it, but understaffed big time. I have been in there twice. The first time, the lady was so busy, that she left me in one dress for ten minutes. The second time, the first lady didn't even know what I was asking for then sent me to the seamstress instead of helping me herself. I was very disappointed with the lack of respect they have there. They act like they are doing you a favor and not you doing them a favor for shopping there.

My husband & I decided to elope before our wedding next year, so you can imagine our hast in getting some things together quickly! We went to David's Bridal for my dress, and were helped, at first, but then ignored for 30 mins. One of the associate's, who we later found out was on her lunch break, came to finally help, and what a help she was! I had no idea what I was doing because we just moved to California, so I didn't even have the luxery of my mom or sister helping me pick and choose dresses. I felt uncomfortable, but that quickly went away. Our associate was AMAZING! She found me the most beautiful dress, veil, and accessories...all in an hour!

It took two trips to David's Bridal before I found my dress. Both times I made appointments and each time was a completely different experience. My first time the woman helping me was not very attentive and was annoyed that I wanted to try on more than one dress. My second time was a much better experience. The sales person spent her time with me and ensured that I really liked the dress that I picked. Ultimately, I was very happy with my purchase.

The alteration department is amazing. They are professional and they are so helpful in making sure you look amazing for your ceremony.

I worked with a woman named Georgina at the Northridge David's Bridal. She was warm, caring, honest, professional, and went out of her way to make me feel like a princess throughout the entire process. Every time I came in, she knew exactly who I was and greeted me with a warm smile and a hug. After purchasing my dress, veil, and undergarments, she sent a hand-written thank you note for my business. When working with my bridesmaids and flower girl, she was equally attentive and helpful - even when we had one bridesmaid who had a change of heart about the dress she wanted just 3 weeks before the wedding! Not only did she find a way to make the change when everyone else said no, but she ensured the dress was delivered within days of the request so that we had time for alterations. I can not say enough about how wonderful Georgina was to work with. Every bride should be so lucky as to find someone like Georgina who really cares about you as you're going through one of the most wonderful and stressful occasions in your young life. If you can read this Georgina, thank you from the bottom of my heart. We will never forget all of your kindness! I also used David's Bridal for my invitations, bridesmaid's gifts, flower girl gift, and jewelry. Everything was delivered quickly, looked great, and was made of quality materials. This company really came through for us and helped us to have our perfect day!

I only had my bridesmaid dresses bought here. The dresses were perfect, matched my wedding perfectly, we had no difficulty with the alterations needed. The staff outside of the alterations dept.....a bit flighty. We had a different person helping us each time, and they would disappear for 15-20 minutes at a time when going to get a different size of the same dress for us. I ended up not getting my bridal shoes there, I made a seperate trip just for shoes, stood around for 30 minutes with no help.

I felt so welcome and special when I walked into David's Bridal! The woman who helped me was really sweet, and found me the perfect dress! She also gave me tips on what kind of earrings would look good with my face shape, and what veil would look good with the dress.

I went to three David's Bridals to try on my dress for various family (one out of state). They were extremely helpful at all of them and had no trouble finding my info - I ended up ordering my dress from Northridge with Georgina. It was a special order and came about 2 months earlier than they had quoted me. (which is great, but I had to find somewhere to store it!)

I loved my dress and it was a perfect day. David's Bridal had a wonderful selection and although I know they are not the Bridal Salon with Major Designer dresses I wanted use most of our budget on the event itself entertaining our guests and making a beautiful affair. I have heard of Brides that spend thousands on their dresses and don't bother to have an open or top shelf bar for their guests. We had amazing flowers and a wonderful band, awesome food and drink all night. This is an economical yet beautiful way to budget your special day. They had everything you needed for the day and were very professional. This was a wonderful experience for me but I was lucky to find my dream dress with the second one I tried on. I knew I wanted a halter. I knew I wanted A-line with sash waist. Do some research and know what cuts look good on you and what you think is flattering on you. Take one person with you that you trust will tell you the truth. Don't drag a group of people with you. You will get 10 different opinions and some will not be as honest with you as you need. Getting in and out of these dresses takes a lot of energy and time. If you go armed with information it will help you narrow in on what you what and need right away. Don't expect for that dress to come and find you. Good luck and have fun.

It's no secret that David's Bridal is a great place to find your wedding dress. My own dress was a vintage-inspired Monique Luo, decorated with delicate lace and crystals. I also found a beautiful dress for my mom at a decent price. The salespeople can be very helpful, but usually only if you have an appointment. Despite it being busy season (June), the tailors were very responsive and one even made a quick alteration on the spot for me without any additional charges.

I went to the Northridge location and had a fabulous sales consultant named Barbara. She was patient, listened to what I liked and disliked and found an incredible dress which I purchased the same day.

The only negative thing I need to say is that they completely miscalculated the timing of arrival of my dress, and now I need to find somewhere to store the dress until I begin the fittings.

So, just be careful on how long they tell you it will take for your dress to arrive if you are lacking somewhere to store your dress.

UPDATE:
I picked up my dress (finally) about a week ago after it arrived many months earlier than expected.

It was in a bag with my garmet bag and undergarmets...safe and sound. The salespeople who were on shift could not have been nicer and more helpful.

My experience at the Northridge store has been nothing but quite satisfying. I will be going on March 6 for my first fitting so we'll see how it goes. :D

I had an appointment but had to wait along time before being acknowledged. I was then placed in a dressing room and left for a long time. Once they finally helped me I had very little service and was rushed through everything. Luckily I knew what I wanted and was able to get in and out. My dress was simple and I walked out the door with it. No fittings.

DO NOT use David's Bridal if you value your sanity. the only good experience I had was in picking out my dress, for which the ladies at the store were quite helpful. However, my bridesmaids got the shaft (pardon my language) and had to shell out beaucoup bucks for alterations which can only be done on M/W but pickups are only on T/Th. Also, don't use AfterHours, their suit partner. My then-fiance's button fell off his suit right as he was walking into the chapel, and one of my groomsmen ended up with a tie instead of a bowtie. Ugh.

I purchased a BM's dress for my daughter from the Redondo Beach David's Bridal and had alterations done at the Northridge store. Overall I would say we were in and out when they took her measurements. When we went back for her fitting we were in and out. (everything was done by appointment) I was totally satified!

got bridesmaids dresses here. shoddy material (pieces of fabric would randomly rip off) and dresses were itchy and uncomfortable.

David's Bridal (Northridge)--Final Grade: B

I was originally really pleased with the service at David's Bridal, but one incident lead me to drop their grade. The associate who helped me pick my dress was extreamly helpful and outgoing. My dress arrived in a timely manner and all alterations/cleaning were done as promised. The one problem I encountered was David's Bridal discontinued the dress I had originally chosen for my Junior Bridesmaid. They did not contact me or the mother of my JBM to let us know. We only found out two weeks before the wedding when my JBM went to get measured for her dress. They were able to get her a dress to match the other bridesmaids in that short time, but it still would have been nice to have been given some sort of notice. Other than that snafu, I was generally pleased. I got my entire ensemble there: dress, veil, shoes, plus the BM dresses.

I had an incredible experience with the David's Bridal in Mission Valley. Were extremely helpful, courteous and responsive to my needs. We were on a short timetable and they made it work, and I even found a dress in the $99 section that rocked my socks! So glad I went there!

We bought all Bridesmaid dresses here. The person we had an appointment with was running late and we ended up having to wander the store for an hour. They would not give us another associate as it was a busy Saturday. The dresses turned out good for a good price but, when the shoes came back from the dye they looked like someone had been wearing them!

This place reall works with a brides budget and style. They had my dress ready very quickly and it fit perfectly! Greta place to buy your gown!

You can get a bargain dress if they have your size in the sale gowns. if you order your dress, which most people do, it takes a while to get it in. and make sure to plan enough time to have alterations done. This should be done as soon as possible. Don't let them boss you around. it's kind of a zoo at any David's Bridal. Tell them what you what and stick to your guns.

I had a great experience with David's Bridal and the areas where I rated them "average" I was VERY happy with as well, I simply believe that average is what you should expect and what you get at a discount store. I didn't go there because I was looking for exceptional service or professionalism; I went there because I was looking for value and flexibility and that is EXACTLY what I got!I had looked at scores of dresses priced between $1500-$3500 at other stores and not found anything that I loved in its entirety. One dress I would love the bodice, the next I would love the skirt, etc. I was frustrated by the prices, by the styles and by the sugary (and phony) salesgirls who were trying to push ridiculously priced dresses on me as if getting married were the most important thing in the world to me and everyone else. And then I wandered into David's Bridal with my sister and knew that I had found a store that was more my style!I saw my dress on the mannequin when I walked in, but tried on a dozen others just to be sure. It was the right dress and the right price, even though it was on the "expensive" side for David's Bridal at $800 for an Oleg Cassini. It was GORGEOUS. I also chose bridesmaid dresses from there- a mix and match line so that all I did was pick a color and fabric and the girls each got to pick their own style. The dresses were inexpensive for them and they got to wear something they felt comfortable in that was flattering to them.

I loved the woman that helped me pick out the dress. But whatever you do, do not get it altered by them. They ruined my dress and then I had to pick out a new dress a week before the wedding.
