Davids Bridal

Maya helped me out chossing my dress i actually went twice till i found my dress and was so happy i loved my dress and the way it fit perfectly.It just gets soo busy so it will be better to make a appointment.

I loved my dress it was amazing and they went out of there way for my entire bridal party in every state

Typical DB. Loved my dress!

Davids Bridal in Pinole was great! The out fitted me , 4 bridesmaids, 5 flower gilrs and 2 mothers! It was amazing. They made us look great!

David's Bridal in general is easy to use because many of what the show online is available in stores. Being affiliated with Men's Warehouse made coordinating the bridal party very easy. For a busy working bride doing as much online is ideal.

The dress I chose was from their designer collection and no longer available to order but I got lucky and was able to buy one off the rack. I'm not one of those overly picky girls and was very happy to get a dress as a well reduced price point. Overall their dresses start as the lower price points so if you are on a budget this is the place to go.

Also, because it is a national retailer there is usually a location within driving distance. This comes in handy when you need to dress people who do not live near by or in a different state.

Cons: There are trade offs when you work with a retail chain that works their own companies designs - and therefore can offer the lower prices. Mainly service and quality.

I was lucky to side step that landmine and worked with reps that were not rude and I did not have any major issues with our garments. If you are expecting one on one attention, try and ask for an appointment day/time that is not as heavily booked or sees a lot of walk-in traffic. I would suggest also knowing your dress cuts and materials well so that you take a lot of the headache out of the shopping process ahead of time.

Tried on a couple of dresses and found the one I wanted at a reasonable cost. I paid about $400 and got the dress in extra long (4 extra inches, because I'm 6' tall). I didn't see a point in paying thousands for a dress I would wear once. It was a beautiful gown, and suited my style well.

The staff at David's Bridal in Pinole, CA were friendly and helpful. My wedding dress was beautiful, and my bridesmaids and flower girls looked amazing! The alterations were way too expensive, but the final result looked great. (I paid for my bridesmaids' alterations, and it cost as much as their dresses had cost.) It was sometimes difficult to get an alterations appointment (I needed several readjustments), but they managed to fit me into the schedule anyway. I would suggest purchasing a bra and veil somewhere else, because David's Bridal has extremely overpriced accessories (um, $80 for a bra?). Just bring it with you to your fittings and leave the tags on, in case it doesn't work with your dress and you want to take it back to the other store. Good luck & congrats! :)

I chose davids bridal for my bridesmaids dresses because it was convenient for me (I had 2 bridesmaids that lived out of state). The first time I went I made an appointment and the person who helped me was very nice. The other times I just showed up, and they didn't seem to happy about that. They were very rude, and basically I picked the dresses off the rack. I chose NOT to get my gown from here. They always seem to show you the most expensive anyway. They NEVER bring you the $99 dresses that are on sale to try on.

My tips:

If you plan on going..make an appt.
Don't let them push you around..if you have a price range..stick to it!

The dress I got fitted perfectly! I was first introduced to davids bridal from a friend, and I now am very happy that I met them. They made my wedding experience so much smoother, and it helped a lot taht I didn't have to worry that much about my wedding dress.

I bought my dress from David's Bridal in January. I got married in October. When I first tried on my dress I feel in love with it. It fit me perfect and looked beautiful. I couldn't wait to walk down the aisle in it. We took it into the store for the alterations and had a great appointment. When we went to pick it up we noticed that the dress had a yellow tint to it. Not to blame anyone at the store but it looked like it was burnt. The manager on site was so great she found the same dress at another store and had it shipped to the store and we didn't have to pay for a thing. Once we finally got to pick it up for the final fitting it was beautiful and as I walked down the aisle towards my husband I felt like a princess and he said I looked beautiful

My dress was my dream dress. I looked at the high end bridal shops and found dresses I liked but the prices were outrageous. I found a dress with amazing embroidery detail and gorgeous beading for 1/3 of the price the high end salons were charging and they dress was very well made. I barely needed any alterations to the dress because I was able to try on the dress in my size and order it based on that. There were no measurements to mess with. I ended up going back and getting my headpiece, bridesmaid dresses, my moms dress and our ring bearer pillow there because of the service, quality and accessibility of their products.

I thought the David's Bridal in Pinole was a great alternative to highly priced bridal salons in the area. Although the lighting isn't great, the sales people are very kind and quite helpful for the brides. I heard otherwise for bridesmaids but don't know from experience. Just so you know, the sales people have multiple clients they are trying to help so be patient and find a great dress! I did and my wedding was perfect!

I loved my dress and all of the bridesmaids' dresses. David's Bridal was our first and only stop for our dresses. There was no reason to go to another shop. The quality and style of the dresses were fantastic.

I didn't have the greatest experience at David's Bridal, until I dealt with the manager. It's hard to get customer assistance on the phone, and not as easy to coordinate the bridal party dresses as I had expected. Fortunately, I didn't need many alterations to my dress, because their first effort with the bustle was horrible and I had to go back only a few days before the wedding to finally get the dress. I got a lot of compliments on the dress on the wedding day, and I think it was a good choice for me. However, I would probably send other brides to an independant shop for more personal attention.

I loved my dress once i found it. They have so many dresses i just kept trying more on. The alterations cost a lot! and so do there accessories. I went on both weekend and weekday and found i got a lot better service on the weekday. I was helped by Kerri and she was so helpful. SHe didnt even seem annoyed that i had to try on so many dresses.

The dress was great at an even better price, however, the sales people there were not very nice.

When I thought I wasn't going to find a dress to fit me, she went to the back and found the perfect one for me!

David's Bridal in Pinole was not perfect but atleast I got my dress and was very happy with it. The attentdant could have been a bit more attentive but she had apologized when were first introduced telling us that they had double booked her and she would do her best to help me. I bought my dress, my tiara, and my veil here and was not unhappy in the least with any item and was very relieved when I was allowed to put my dress on a payment plan. BEWARE PLUS-SIZED GIRLS!!! They don't have many flattering dresses for bigger girls and the ones they do have are very matronly, your best bet is to get a regular dress in the biggest size they have and take it somewhere to see if they can alter it, but also beware the dresses don't give you a lot of extra fabric to alter off of, so go to a good seamstress who is used to working with very little material and can be creative to make the dress fit without completly ruining the design that you fell in love with. But DO NOT use their seamstress these people tried to charge me $400 to alter a dress I paid $350 for!!!

The David's Bridal location in Pinole is where we got the bridesmaid dresses. The first visit the girls tried on several dresses. The sales associate was semi-attentive. In the end, unbeknownst to us, none of our information was recorded in the computer. On our second visit to fit the younger girls, is when we noticed our information wasn't recorded in the computer. The sales associate saw us thru the fitting, however when I went to meet her at the counter she disappeared. Snuck out the back door and was gone for the day!!!! Back to square one.....we found another sales associate who helped us straighten out the mess and get the info. in the computer and dresses ordered. There were no problems with the delivery of the dresses or the dresses themselves. They looked beautiful on the girls.

They were great when we were in the store, but did not work with us well to get the dress we wanted. And the alteration costs were high. I would think some alterations would be included in the price of the dress when you are spending that much money.

they had a large variety of dresses but service within the bridal salon was a bit slow

They were very helpful in selecting a dress that was right for me. I made a couple of trips to do this. They even have petite sizes for those that are vertically challenged. The bummer with any dress (not just one at David's Bridal) is that the alterations and accessories wind up costing more than the dress. Hint: Shop around for undergarments (or think wisely), tiaras, etc. It was convenient, however, having those at one place.

I had a nightmare going to this store. When it came time for me to checkout with my bridesmaids the cashier got our orders wrong. I had 4 bridesmaids and she ordered two dresses in the wrong color. She didn't go over the final order like she was supposed to (and we had no clue since we had never used them) so I didn't find out until it was time to pick up the first dress. When I found out, the said they would reorder the dress for me, but they wouldn't get it until AFTER my wedding!!!!!! There was no sympathy given for the situation and they didn't go over and beyond to make the problem correct. They messed up two times with the dresses which led to multiple angry phone calls. They didn't even offer a discount. We had to ask. My husband had to call to get results. I do not recommend this store to anyone. They specialize in weddings, they should do whatever they can to help relieve the stress of the planning, not tell you that you won't be getting your bridesmaid's dresses until after your wedding!

If I could give a negative star I would. I had the absolute worst service at this store! Both times I have gone (with appointments) I had to wait a ridiculous amount of time and the lady that helped us was extremely rude after she found out that we weren't planning on purchasing anything that day! After that she was pretty much inattentive and we had to hunt her down for even the smallest question.
The second (and last) time I went I made the mistake of trying on a wedding dress. The sales woman would not let my sister in the room to help me change, she insisted on coming in with me. She also would not let ANYONE other than herself touch the dress. Even just to adjust the top or spread out the train. It was terrible and I only tired on 2 dresses because I didn't want to undress with her in the room with him.
It was terrible.

I bought my wedding dress from David's Bridal in Pinole, CA. I loved my dress, but I don't necessarily recommend David's Bridal. If you do go to David's Bridal, make sure you have an appointment, and make sure you go there on a weekday. My first appointment was on a weekday. . .this was the day I bought my dress as well. The person that helped me while I tried on the wedding gowns was great. This might have been due to the fact that I was 1 of only 3 customers at the store during that time. When we went back there for the bridesmaid dresses, it was a saturday, and the place was packed with so many customers. It was impossible to find anyone to help you; the people that worked there were way to busy to help anyone. After waiting for 2 hours for some help, the service was horrible. We didn't end up buying any dresses for the bridemaids there. They are just too busy on the weekends. If you are there during any weekend, be prepared to waste your time and energy. The only reason I would give it a 3 out of 5 star rating for quality of service was due to my first visit to buy my wedding gown. I wish I remembered the lady's name that helped me because she was great. Unfortunately, my second experience at David's Bridal was so bad. . .

While the dress was cheap, they got me inside by offering a dress that was low priced but "not"avaliable when I got there. I had called in advanced to check stock, and was told they had enough but didnt when I got there a day later. The staff was rude and not helpful at all. I would have spent more money to get a little better attention. Seemed as if you went with a bunch of people with Cameras you got star treatment anyone else well they didnt.

The quality of service was exceptional. I am a plus sized woman & they had a variety of dress for me to try on in the store. Most Bridal shops do not do that. My consultant was very attentive & in tune to what my body type would look great in & her pick was the dress that won everyone over. I needed the most fabulous dress in the less time as possible & they accomadated me without extra fees

My Bridal Party and I traveled into San Fransisco to find dresses at this store that we had heard so much about. When we got there it was a huge dissapointment. So since we were already in the city, I didn't want to waste the day, and go home. So I decided to find where the nearest Bridal Store was, and this store came up on the list. We got to the store, and then found out that you were supposed to have an appointment in order to try on dresses. I started to get really frustrated until the girl at the desk said that she would squeeze us in, if we didn't mind waiting a little while. I told her that would be fine, since we hadn't eaten lunch yet, and there was a restaurant just across the street. When we came back for the appointment, the girls that helped us were very pleasant, patient and helpful. I got the perfect dress, and we ended up purchasing dresses for the entire bridal party as well as the flowergirl dresses from them. I thank them very much for their help.

David's bridal could use some friendlier staff...I have worked with several consultants to find my dress, and the best one was fortunately the one I bought my dress from. I've been back several times and just haven't been impressed with their customer service.

I let my bridesmaid's pick out their dress (big mistake). They ended up going to David's Bridal and picking a dress because it was only $40. David's bridal was very good about making exchanges and sending dresses from other locations no problem, because it was on clearance and it was such short notice. But I hated the dress and we hired a seemstress to cut them to tea length, and the bridesmaids all got sweaters for their gift.

David's Bridal's brial consultant's helped me find the most beautiful gown that expressed my personality and made me look beautiful on my special day.

I would say the service and everything was great maybe because I already knew what I wanted from looking at their website online. I had the style number and color and we only had to go there to make sure what size the bridesmaids needed. They had sample dresses of the dresses I wanted which my bridesmaids tried on. For those girls who they didn't have it in their size I was told by the ladies working there that all the dresses there fit the same size so my bigger and smaller girls were able to try on any dress that fit and use that size number to order they dress we wanted. It was quick and nice to see how the dresses looked in real life before ordering. Know your style numbers you like and take them written down with you to the store like if you want it to be a smooth process.

I had a tough time with Davids Bridal and their customer service. They even lost my dress for 5 weeks on a rack in the alterations dept. just weeks before my wedding. The compensated me with a free preservation kit but I was still dissatisfied.

All in all I loved my dress and the preservation service was quick and easy. I would recommend them because they have a nice selection and their prices are reasonable. I ended up getting the Bridesmaid dresses there too. As well as my undergarments and shoes. It was convenient.

I wish they were more professional overall.

I actually was fortunate enough to find my dress during David's Bridal $99 sale. My dress was a white, halter with some beading. Very simple. Exactly what I wanted. The alterations actually cost more than my dress. I think the alterations were a bit pricey ($155), but I didn't feel like taking any chances elsewhere, and overall, only had to spend about $250 for my entire dress. Not bad. We also got my bridesmaid dresses here, on the clearance rack. $50 each for a beautiful ankle length, champagne colored dress. Not bad!

I was looking for something simple and found it here in the very first dress I tried on. I recommend losing the weight and then buying the dress because they will charge you an arm and a leg for alterations. Especially at this location. Be sure to push for any little adjustment in the alteration you need, you must be happy with the fit of your dress! And be sure to remember the quoted price, because they tried to alter it to their benefit at one point.

UGGGHHH I guess you get what you paid for.

Great selection of gowns for a low price. The person I worked with was ok but not great. I went in twice and never had to wait for anyone or to try a dress on.

I recommend David's Bridal to all my brides who are looking for a beautiful dress and are on a budget. My Caribbean destination bride found a beautiful flowing dress that was perfect for a beach wedding...soft, flowing in the breeze, with just the right amount of beading. She looked gorgeous, and was quite happy with her dress, and also her "clover" colored bridesmaid's dresses. Thanks, David's Bridal.
