David's Bridal (Redlands, CA)

I have heard tons of horror stories about David’s Bridal but I have nothing but great things to say about them. I initially went to the Corona store and purchased my dress. It was such a great experience. The sales girl was very helpful and we had a lot of fun. We went to the Redlands store to purchase the bridesmaid dresses and have our dresses altered. We had a similar experience here. The sales people were helpful and we had a lot of fun. We had to order the bridesmaid dresses and were told it would take about 6 weeks. I received a call 2 weeks later that they had already arrived. The alterations lady was very helpful and did a great job. Every time I went there we had a great experience.

I bought a bridesmaid's dress here for my friend's wedding. It was a very easy experience. They have all the sizes available to try on and all the colors/fabrics are in-store so that you can compare them. We had already decided on color, fabric, and length, so I just needed to find a dress. The salespeople were very helpful in getting me the right sizes and helping me find dresses. I was able to find and buy the dress within an hour. Though they told me that it might take up to 6 weeks for the dress to come in, it actually only took 2. My experience for finding a bridesmaid's dress was excellent.

I did come here to look for my own wedding dress but was not really impressed with the selection or the quality. Even the $1000+ dresses were kind of low quality with fabric that was rough and on the heavy side. You can actually find beautiful Maggie Sottero dresses that are higher in quality and cost much less than the $1000+ dresses I tried on! David's Bridal actually has copied some of Maggie Sottero dresses and sell them for just $100 or so less than the actual Maggie dress. For just $100, I would totally prefer to get the dress from the actual designer. Anyway, that's just me. BTW, I did not buy a Maggie Sottero wedding gown but think they're great (beautiful and budget-friendly)! Also, I know tons of brides who got their wedding dress at DB, so don't let me stop you from going, especially for those of you who are especially budget-conscious. Good luck!
