Davids Bridal

Basically you get what you pay for. My experience wasn't great, I felt rushed but then this isn't a fancy Boutique. I was able to find my dress and left with it. I did not trust them to alter it. Do not go here is you want professional assistance and pampering. Go here if you want an inexpensive dress.

Any and All problems that I ran into while planning my wedding came from David's bridal and their affiliated Men's Warehouse. First, they ordered my junior bridesmaids dress in the wrong color. I didn't know this until they came in two weeks before the wedding. Then they tried to make me pay various amounts for rushing the RIGHT dresses and altering them to fit my junior bridesmaids. I don't really have the time to go into all of my complaints but I chose them mostly due to their fairly large selection at prices that seemed affordable compared to anywhere else I had looked. But since their alteration prices are ridiculous, I ended paying just as much as I would have anywhere else.

David's Bridal was amazing. We got all our dresses (1 wedding dress, 1 MOB dress, 7 bridesmaids, 3 junior bridesmaids, 1 flower girl, 3 special occasion) there and they helped us through the whole process. They were so amazing during two very large emergencies - a last minute alteration on my dress and a bridesmaid dress that broke the day of the wedding. I have and will continue to recommend David's Bridal to all people!

I got my wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses from David's Bridal. My gown was gorgeous and I loved the bridesmaid dresses. We also got the flower girl dresses from there and my mother got her dress from there. The only positive thing about this experience was the fact that the dresses were pretty. However, there are a ton of dress shops that sell pretty dresses. If you have ever read a negative review about David's Bridal, BELIEVE IT!!!! The service is the absolute worse. They overbook their appointments, they messed up the dying of the shoes (although it was a DB color), orders were in, but they never communicated with us that the orders were in, and the list of negative things just goes on. Take the time to explore other shops and save yourself a huge headache in the end.

Brenda was absolutely amazing and I trusted her opinion and everything she had said! I would definitely recommend this location and her in particular. She helped so much and you could tell she wanted nothing more than to make you happy! I was so happy when my day came!

I found the perfect dress and had a wonderful consultant!!!

I found the dress of my dreams at Davids Bridal. Thank you so much for your help.

Loved my dress but my fitter would say she was getting something for me, walk away, stay gone for a while, then come back with nothing. She told me the dress I puchased did not have a jacket. When I found out it did they did let me return the original dress and pruchase the one with the jacket. The ladies in alterations were really nice. Again I loved my dress!!!!!!!! Service...not so much.

David's bridal was great! I got my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses from there. They offered many deals for our wedding. Overall, very impressed!

There are so many mixed reviews on David's Bridal. I think it is all in the salesperson who helps (or does not help) you. Fortunately, for me, I got one of the most honest, reliable and helpful sales ladies' available. She truly made my experience at David's great! I originally decided that I would probably never end up purchasing my wedding gown from David's. However, I ended up trying on some absoultely beautiful gowns there, with, of course, the help of my friendly sales lady.After picking out my gown, it was time for alterations. I, by the way, have had an absolutely HORRIBLE experience with the alterations department in the past. However, I decided to give them one more chance. I was very pleased with the lady in alterations! She was very patient and seemed to know what she was doing. One very inconveinent thing that I had come to find out was that when it came time to bustle my dress, it bustled fine, but the buttons did not hold the dress fabric up for a long period of time. My bridesmaids had to continually bustle my gown throughout the entire reception :(David's Bridal also said they would notify the Bride when all items (that had to be ordered) came in for the bridal party, the flower girl and the bride herself - this did not happen. I also find it inconveinent that David's Bridal specializes in Bridal and yet it still takes them forever to order certain items. For example, they told me it would take six months for my bridesmaids dresses to come in.I was extremely happy with the wedding gown I chose. It held up very well and was absolutely gorgeous. I received so many wonderful complements on the dress. One thing I love about David's is that all of the gowns are made exclusively for David's Bridal and you will not find them anywhere else.

Dress was beautiful. Got plenty comments of style.

Went in on a Saturday with no appointment and the staff was so kind to help me pick out a new dress and have it express ordered. ( I picked a dress that was a 15 week wait and I had 2 months til my wedding). Everything worked out and both of my dresses were gorgeous!

I always pictured the day that I was going to pick out my wedding dress and a day that would be so very special, and I had always thought about davids bridal because of the wide variety of dresses available. I went into this store and was not given the opportunity to look around to find a dress- I was brought a few 'choices' based on a slight description. I found a dress that I loved, and for a relatively decent price. The alterations lady yelled at me forcing me to allow her to show me what a bustle would look like on a dress that I DID NOT want, and I had made that very clear. All in all- I would advise people to go elsewhere if they are looking for a special experience on the day they go to pick out their wedding dress.

I had a great experience with Davids Bridal while searching for my dress and making alterations. Make sure you make an appointment, and it's better to have one during the week. My appointment was at 10am, and there were very few people there and I was able to get a lot of individual attention.

I had a wonderful experience with David's Bridal in Raleigh (Louisburg Road). I worked with Kishna and Dijon for my wedding dress and bridal gown (I bought dress #2-it was the one. No need for making the endless rounds to bridal shops). Kishna would send me email reminders and helped me set up appointments for the girls. Dijon helped me with picking the right gowns for he girls. Kishna and Dijon were amazing consultants! They did not exert any pressure and gave many helpful hints about hair and dress styles that would work with the dresses chosen. Kishna helped me pull my look together with veil, jewelry and shoes. I never felt rushed and took my time making choices. I would recommend these two ladies to brides who want to feel comfortable and want the best customer service possible!

I found the perfect dress at David's Bridal, however, I was urged to order the dress two sizes bigger than I needed, which ended up costing me $175 in alterations (from an outside tailor because the tailor at David's was about twice that amount). My biggest complaint is with my bridesmaids dresses; my girls tried on a $99 dress that was "supposed" to be ordered. Then when they came in, they were $135 and an entirely different material and different fit in the bust. I don't appreciate the bait and switch.

I purchased a few accessories from this vendor and it was ok for the purchases I made. I worked with Dejon Broadie and she was very professional and courteous.

Highly suggest scheduling your fitting for a weekday. We were incredibly impressed with the level of personalized attention we received for our Thursday fitting. We had MORE than enough attendants assisting our wedding party,a nd we were very impressed with their responsiveness.

David's Bridal is an affordable place to get amazing dresses. However their alterations and accesories are way overpriced. I like to think of this David's Bridal as the Walmart for Wedding dresses because it's always a madhouse in there. Make sure you have an appointment or sometimes the wait can be really long

David's Bridal was a great place to get my dress. My consultant focused only on me while I was there and helped me pick a perfect dress...even though it seemed like a tried on 50.

I had a fairly long engadgement with a very tight budget! When I first got engadged I found the PERFECT dress...It was a little too pricy so I figured I'd shop around. Several months later, I was browsing online and noticed that THE DRESS was on sale...Over half off!!!!! They didn't have my size anymore and it was discontinued! I immediately called the store near my house and after a little hesistation they ended up looking to see if any stores in the area still had it...there was only two stores in the country with one in or near my size and one just happened to be in Raliegh, NC did! I called them and they were so helpful!!! Even though it is not "policy" to do a layaway over the phone, I explained to her my situation and the manager did it..I cried, LOL! I recieved my dress in perfect condition only 2 days after I paid it off! Thank you David's Bridal in Raliegh...I got my DREAM DRESS because of your wonderful customer service!!!

I was very pleased at how affordable these dresses were. However, should you have any doubts about your selection, there is no opportunity to change your mind as they do not take returns. They also will not steam press your dress if you have it altered elsewhere, even though the information does not tell you this immediately.

David's Bridal was very helpful in finding my daughter's perfect dress. She came in thinking she wanted one style but they helped her find the "inner princess" which she truly was on her wedding day! The bridesmaids dresses and Jr. Bridesmaid dresses were perfect fits!

I found my bridal gown at David's Bridal. I was registered at the Raleigh location and I had a great experience. My biggest complaint about David's Bridal, if I have to have one, is their scheduling time with clients. This store stays pack and also the fact their consultants dont wear a uniform color or something to make them stand out from customers is alway frustrating to me. My $599 bridal gown was discontinued before I could purchase, but luckly they still had the floor sample I tried on in my size, so I was able to purchase the dress for $399. They handle all my alterations, did a great job with cleaning the dress. I also chose my bridesmaid dresses from them. Again we had no problems.

David's Bridal was very helpful in finding the dress I could affored and love! The dress was gorgeous, everything turned out great.

I went to both the Durham (southpoint) location and the Raleigh (capital blvd) locations. I would give the Durham store a 0 they did nothing for me. I did buy my 1 bridesmaids dress there but the staff was pushy, rude, and unprofessional. They were not accomodating to the fact that I have an energetic 3 year old boy who went with me to ALL appointments. They were more interested in a sale than in my needs. They did not take well to my fiance being a part of the dress selection process either. The Raleigh store was much better and I did buy my dress there. They still were busy but I did feel like they were trying to listen to me. The alterations department however brought me the wrong dress a week before the wedding. I just think these stores are chain stores and that is exactly what kind of service you get. I didn't find the dress to be any more exclusive or stylish than other stores. Overall I just was not satisfied with my dress buying experience. :(

Loved my dress, hated the service. They didn't inform me prior to laying my dress away that I would be getting the dress that I tried on--that was in the store being tried on my other brides. They were rude when I requested a free cleaning due to the fact that I had no idea of this layaway policy...and they always seemed to busy! My dress was great & I forgot about the fact that it was dirty when I walked down the aisle, and the price was great!

David's bridal is a very busy place. If you plan on going to try on any dresses on a friday, saturday or sunday, make sure you call ahead and make an appointment. It's like a zoo in there during those days! The bridesmaids dresses did come in super fast tho!

Didn't find my dress here. Was upset because I told her what my price range was and that it was pretty strict and she put me in a dress that I fell in love with and found out it was way over my budget! Did find my bridesmaids dresses here and they were very good at getting the dresses in on time (my wedding was planned pretty quickly) but then had problems with them losing shoes and when they finally found them they were the wrong color. Didn't offer anything to make up for their mistakes. And wouldn't work with my bridesmaids at all. I had to make the call to get things fixed.

I found the perfect dress at David's Bridal and the consultants were excellent in helping me find it! I would definitely recommend David's Bridal for dresses, shoes, tiaras, veils, jewelry, etc.

I found my dress at David's bridal for a great price. The staff was wonderful by helping me find the perfect dress.

You get what you pay for. The dress was the best part of the experience. It was cheap and beautiful, but the service was horrible. I wouldn't recommend them to someone who wants a response or attention when trying on dresses. Although they do assign a staff member to help you get dresses, she is also helping about 10 other women at the same time. So you have to wait FOREVER to get a dress.

I loved my dress and they spent quality time arranging my bustle as they had never done that specific dress-and it was beautiful.

The lady that assisted me with purchasing my dress was fabulous, which is the only reason they recieved any stars on service and responsiveness. Getting my dress cleaned was a nightmare though! My sister is an excellent seamstress and was going to hem the dress. David's wouldn't clean a dress after someone else altered it, which is understandable. So, we took the dress in to be cleaned two months before the wedding. They attempted to tell us it would be done in a three-four weeks, because that was "plenty of time before the wedding." When we informed them we needed it done earlier, so we could take it to be altered, their entire attitude changed. The next day they called to inform my mother that there was dog hair in my gown bag and we would have to buy a new one, which ok she has a dog, so we'll let that go as well. So, a new bag later, my sister goes to pick up the dress. There were still spots EVERYWHERE AND DOG HAIR IN THE NEW BAG! They said that it was dry cleaned and not spot cleaned, which could NOT be possible! They then said they would send it off to be cleaned again, but it would take another week and a half (not to mention they were VERY rude)!! Long story short, my dress was cleaned properly and I loved it. However, the quality of service and lack of professionalism will ensure that my business as well as the business of any of my friends will not be going to David's bridal.

I would never use davids again I had to do my own searches around the country for some of the dresses . They sent the wrong stuff to us three times. Lied and told us the dress was discontinued. the worst ever.

I really didn't expect to find my dress at David's Bridal, but I did and it was on my first visit! The dress was exactly what I wanted - simple, yet elegant. I only had to have slight alterations and the tailor at David's did an amazing job. I also found my bridesmaids' dresses there - unique, fun dresses for a not-so-traditional wedding. David's has a great variety of dresses at very reasonable prices.

My bridesmaid dresses came from David's Bridal. They have a good selection, in a wide variety of colors, and it's easy to stop by to try on dresses, esp. on weekdays. From our experience, you get personal assistance when trying on wedding gowns, but not the bridesmaid dresses. The style of dress we picked fit perfectly on two of the bridesmaids, but for my husband's sister, the dress needed significant alterations (hemming and taking in of the skirt panels). We got the dress altered at DB and the alterations cost almost as much as the dress ($95)! This was quite shocking. The seamstress was nice and very accommodating, but in retrospect, we wished we had taken the dress to Mohinder's shop (Quality Tailors - where my bridal gown was altered), at least for an estimate. We think it would have been cheaper.

Cost = $117, Style = #8355, Persimmon

It is like a department store for bridal gowns...there's a lot of people, and not individualized help. The woman who is helping you is often helping two other brides in addition to yourself. Make sure you bring some help, mother, bridesmaid, because they will be the ones helping you get into and out of the dress, buttoning you up and giving their opinion. Go during the work week if you want to get significant one-to-one attention--otherwise Saturday and Sunday are mad-houses. Bridesmaid dresses are very reasonable in prices, and many are, surprisingly, less than marked...just beware, many are also discounted but still on the rack as available, until you decide you want them and then your maids have to high-tail it to their closest DB so that they can get the dress!A plus to DB, MW Tux matches their colors exactly since they work together...the bridal party looks soo very coordinated and perfect! We were happy with that too...A third plus, DB and MW Tux are all over the U.S....our party lived in NC, NJ, PA, OH, NV, NY...was perfection for us all!Fourth, I loved my dress!!! It was beautiful-- DB's alterations are reasonable with everything except the hem...I got a petite dress, and got the bra and bustle done-- it would have only be about $65 for those two services, but then I had to get the hem taken up not even a half inch, and that brought the bill to $200...

No one could believe that I got my gown at David's Bridal. It was an Oleg Cassini and absolutely gorgeous! The price was incredibly reasonable and the manager at the store was extremely flexible when I decide to exchange the first dress I bought for the Oleg. It can get extremely crowded during the weekends and that can be a little annoying, but if you go during the week in the "off season", you will get plenty of undivided attention.

The dress selection was great, but the service was awful. Don't plan on much help and you won't be disappointed.

I found exactly the dress I wanted. The staff was helpful. I would recommend David's Bridal.

Schedule an appointment early in the day. They will spend all the time you need with you, trying on dresses! Bring your bridesmaids!

I went here to get a dress to wear for my rehearsal dinner. I wanted to wear a short white dress and they were helpful finding me something that wasn't that expensive but still looked dressy. They also did the alterations at short notice and it looked great and fit perfectly. The staff was really helpful even though I didn't have an appointment and it was close to closing time. They did a great job.

very attentive to a very nervous bride great value

I went with an idea of what I wanted . The ladies chose the dresses that I had wanted to try on and then she helped pick out dresses she thought I would like and look good in. I wasn't sure about some of them but she ended up finding two perfect dresses. I was having a hard time deciding on "the one" and they had no problem when I stayed in a potential dress for an hour walking around and sitting and trying to see if it really was the one. The dress was cleaned quickly and I was able to take it home in about 2 weeks.

They were very helpful with deciding on a dress. When I thought I found the one they let me stay in it for an hour to help me decide. I didn't use their alterations but I did get my one free cleaning. I wasn't that impressed as the bottom of my dress still had dirt on it.

no complaints.

The dress I chose was beautiful they listened to me and helped me find dresses like i was looking for

i really like this place, it had worked wonders for my short notice wedding

Great dress at a great price! Service was wonderful! The dress was perfect, first one I tried on and didn't need any alterations!

I really did not want to use david's bridal but it was the only place I could find a bridesmaid dress like I was looking for. They were always extremely too busy so your consultant could never give you the attention that was needed. Overall, the dresses were perfect! My girls were a range of sizes and the dress looked great on everyone. I recommended ordering your dresses early (around 4-6 months before the wedding) especially if it's around prom season.

This David's Bridal location was very helpful. My dress trying-on experience was very comfortable and the girl who helped me really enjoyed what she was doing, which really helped the process go smoothly. I loved my dress and the price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend them!

I had a good experience here. The only thing that happened was to one of my out of town bridesmaids. They sold her the wrong ribbon for the dress. We didnt know this until wedding day! so, i am not sure where the communication messed up. Good experience though.

I walked in with no idea of what I wanted. The sales person was really nice helping me find the perfect dress. I tried on at least 25 dresses with 3 separate visits. In the end I was extremely happy. I bought a 6 ft long train wedding dress and it looked absolutely beautiful in pictures.

I could have lived with out David's Bridal. This is where my bide's maid's dresses were and they gave me attitude for no reason and were consistently unprofessional. There was one woman who worked there who seemed to get along with people and I dealt with her because she was the only one who knew what she was doing. This was the worst part of planning my wedding however.

I was more impressed with the dress than the service.

The sales people where a bit pushy and the store was always super busy however, my dress was perfect and the prices are great!

I absolutely loved the dress that I received at David's Bridal. I felt as though it was a very good price for the quality of the dress I received. However, the service was absolutely unacceptable. When I went in to try on dresses, the lady working with me was on her first day at the job. She did not know the store and should have been following a person who knew what they were doing rather than being left on her own. I blame the store for leaving her on her own. She took a very long time to find each dress that I had asked to try on (from magazine pictures) and often times told me it wasn't in the store only for me to find it later. Once the dress was purchased, I brought it back to be altered. When I came for the final fitting, it was altered incorrectly. They tried to make me feel as though I was wrong, and everything was fine, but I knew that they had altered the dress to look differently than what I had purchased. I asked to speak with a manager, and the manager agreed with me and told them they had to re do it. I was appreciative that she came and re-did the dress, however, it should have been taken care of before a manager had to be called. Also, with my bridesmaids dresses, they lost one of the orders, ordered the wrong dress for one of the girls, charged one girl the wrong price on her credit card. The service was just unnacceptable. I would not reccomend David's Bridal to anyone, unless you already have a dress in mind and are just going to try it on and buy it.

This was the worst experience ever. Even if you have an appointment, you dont get the service you deserve. The lady I had an appointment with was taking care of 3 other ladies at the same time. I had to wait for 10 minutes just to get a dressing room and then had to wait another 20-25 for a slip and shoes. If you want quality service, dont go here!

The first consultant I worked with was great, but she switched jobs before I purchased my wedding gown. The next consultant I had was very pushy, trying to get me to rush into purchasing my gown and bridesmaid dresses. The wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses were excellent quality and I absolutely loved them! The only thing I was unsatisfied with was the salesperson I worked with.

I enjoyed working with David's Bridal. They were all very kind at this particular location. I even had a last minute change in the timeframe that I needed my dress steamed for my bridal portrait and they eagerly obliged without complaint or attitude. My dress was beautiful and my bridesmaid's dresses were gorgeous. They were able to suggest the perfect dress to suit the many shapes and sizes of my attendants and one that would also look perfect on my pregnant maid of honor so that she could wear the same dress as everyone else. David's Bridal around the country did an excellent job helping my attendants from sizing needs to special orders.

They really help tie in the colors I needed for the final touches on my dress.

Bridal Gown:

I had been looking around at dresses at lots of different local stores, like Valentine's Bridal and Victorian Rose Bridal, and I really couldn't see myself spending so much money on a dress. It was hard, because there were several designer dresses that I thought I looked stunning in, but the dress I really liked would have been a huge down payment on a car. I went to David's Bridal, looked through their books, and picked out a few styles that I knew I would look good in. In the end, I got a more expensive David's bridal dress on sale during one of their $99 dress sale. My dress was about $300 cheaper, which made us for the price of shoes, accessories, and the alterations. The dress I got was okay, I liked it, but I didn't love it.

Alterations:

They took care of the alterations at David's Bridal, and the prices they charged me were really cheap. It cost almost nothing to have the dresses fixed, which is great. And the seamstress also does excellent work.

OK...I loved my dress but many times, the employees were not very helpful and a little rude

great prices

I ended up booking a fitting right away had no problems. I tried on many dresses, the sales associate was very friendly and enjoyed her job. She made the experience great. I bought my dress, my bridesmaids dresses and flower girl dresses all that night. Made a fitting 3months before the wedding, it was a great experience.

David's bridal has a huge selection and good sales. I got a beautiful Oleg Cassini dress for only $800.00. The alterations department made a mistake when altering my dress but fixed it in a very timely manner and made it look awesome. The only inconvenience was that you can' just go in whenever you want and look for dresses, there has to be someone available to help. They recommend appointments.

Good experience.

I loved my gown that I found at David's Bridal-- it was an Oleg Cassini, on sale! I had gone in without the intention of buying a strapless gown but their sales associates were very helpful (if somewhat pushy) and they knew of a gown that would fit me perfectly and give the necessary support. I was so appreciative. I did hit a few snags waiting to be fitted and waiting again a little longer than anticipated for alterations to be made, but overall, I was glad I went.

I found a great dress at David's Bridal and got a discount for my bridesmaids dresses because we ordered all of them from David's which was nice. My consultant at the Raleigh store was Joyce, who has been working with brides for many years, and she was fantastic - very knowledgeable and able to help me pick out dresses that would flatter my figure. The main things that I didn't like were that they always wanted you to have an appointment with a consultant to even set foot in the store, and I ended up spending a fortune on my dress alterations with their alterations shop and they still didn't turn out just like I wanted. Also, they want you to order your dress way in advance or make you feel like you need to pay a rush fee. But they have a great selection and relatively decent prices compared to some other places, so I'd probably still recommend them to others.

I found my dress within a couple of weeks and got the wedding dressed hemmed and fixed for me within 2-3 weeks. Very reasonable. The only thing is don't forget to make an appointment ahead to see them!!

Got a great deal on my dress & everyone there was really friendly & helpful. Plus they had my dress in stock & I didn't have to order it. They did a great job with the alterations, too (only needed hemming).

Service was slow or not offered, so make sure you go with an appointment, and the styles were not great. We had some very picky bridesmaids of various shapes and sizes, so it was kind of difficult to find something, and the dress we ended up picking was very plain and boring. We had to order it really early so we made the decision under a time crunch. Our flower girl dresses were a disaster-- we had twins who were hard to fit. We couldn't find any sizes!!

The dress was economical but the other things such as veil and bridesmaids dresses were not. They were quick, I had my dress in about two weeks. I would recommend buying the dress there but buy other accessories elsewhere if you are on a tight budget. a veil that would have been 150, I made in a few minutes for five bucks.

this is a great place with great prices i totally back this place up and say shop here
