David’s Bridal

I first came to this David’s bridal in January 2013 and the wedding ended up being postponed. I wasn’t all that happy with my first experience and I was skeptical about going back but I’m glad I did. I was assigned to Celeste who was so fun and helpful. All the dresses she showed me were beautiful and as difficult as they were to get on (all corset) she never complained. I found the perfect dress which everyone I was with loved. I always said I didn’t want a veil but Celeste suggested one and it was everything I needed to complete my bridal look. Needless to say I am very please with my whole David’s Bridal experience. Thank you for everything Celeste.

I have to say that I went into David’s Bridal on ²⁄₁₃ just to browse for a wedding dress, mine you I’m in my EARLY 60’s first time marriage, and the girl at the front door was kinda of rude, saying we’re too busy with appointments today, would you like to make a appt for next week… I mean you can’t just look at bridemaids dresses, and then come back for wedding appt, so I made an appt for 2/​20, @ 9:00 a.m. and I walked in, the front counter person was more personable, and very friendly. She introduced me to Bayleigh (love her spelling) and off we went to fine a wedding gown… I told her my budget and she came back with 3 gowns, and asked my which one to try on first I picked they one I liked on the hanger… tried the second one on, and still fell in love with the first dress… it fit like a glove… so I said, «Yes to the Dress»…and Bayleigh was so helpful, and helped me with everything in the dressing room… She was very sweet… A+

I’ve chosen a very beautiful engagement wedding dress from this store. Kelly is super sweet and friendly. She never got tired of picking up beautiful dresses for me and helping me putting them on. What’s more, she’s quickly figuring out what’s my style and favorite. I picked my dress in less than 30 minutes. Also they offered me lots of coupons for my next purchase and other vendors. It’s a very pleasant one!

My first ever experience to try a wedding dress and thanks to Kelsea I, not only decided on A wedding dress, decided on TWO wedding dresses!
I took pictures of the model numbers of the dresses we liked as we went through the store & Kelsea pulled all the dresses I had given her. She suggested a lovely belt to go with my gown … Which I said YES to immediately! For the first half of the appointment I shared her time with another bride, which made my appointment a bit slower in terms of changing from one dress into another. This, however, gave my mom and my soon to be mother and sister in law, as well as my friend, the opportunity to snap extra pics!
She was so sweet throughout the appointment encouraging me to take the time and not feel pressured to commit to anything if I don’t have that «feeling». She even brought out a lady from alterations to answer all of the questions I may have in regards to changing the look of the dress
Needless to say that feeling came and made me cry … Which I did not expect, but I digress.
Kelsea is amazing & I highly recommend her! I can’t wait to hopefully see her when the dresses arrive. Thank you so much!
Overall my experience at the store was great

Came her for my sisters dress fitting for her first time and I loved the stylist we had! Her name was Bailey and she was so patient and calm with us the whole time! She showed us so many different options and styles. My family can be a little loud and she was still patient and took in everyone’s opinion! I loved her! We booked our next appointment and we booked it only with her! Thanks for the Monrovia team for being awesome!

I have been to different David’s bridals and this was the worst experience I ever had. I traveled from out of state and my dress got wrinkled from the trip. I checked with the original Davids’ Bridal I had bought my dress from who said I can take my dress to get steamed when I got into town. I called the Monrovia store on Thursday who said as long as I bring my dress in Friday, I can have it steamed and ready to go by Sunday night for my Monday wedding. I travel from downtown LA to monrovia through LA traffic on Friday to get the dress there. On Sunday, while in traffic, I call to ensure my dress is ready when the very rude assistant tells me my dress is not ready and has to wait until Monday. I tell her my wedding is Monday and I cannot wait– get on the phone with a manager who says the dress will be ready by the time they close on Sunday. I drive to Monrovia through traffic to pick up the dress– it was in a Davids bridal travel bag– the assistant had me sign the papers and before I can take a look at the dress, told me everything had been steamed and walked the dress to my car. After my drive back to downtown, I open the dress to find NOTHING had been steamed. My dress had wrinkles, my veil was crinkled, my shaw and my puffy slip were a mess. I had to steam everything on my own the night before my wedding. Instead of enjoying the night before my wedding, I was running around to buy a good steamer and steaming my own dress. If they had been honest and said they couldn’t steam it in time on Friday, I would have been saved the time, gas, and stress of driving across LA and would have gone somewhere else or steamed it myself, like I ended up doing. This is an awful store with terrible customer service. Would not recommend.

I am so happy I went to this store and I couldn’t have been more lucky to have Virginia help me. She was so helpful, kind and patient. She helped me pick the perfect dress, the perfect fit, and even made sure I was able to order it in time considering j was in a time crunch. I can honestly say I have never been treated with such great customer service as she provided. I will be glad to go back to purchase more dresses and I will be looking for Virginia to help me!

Annie is seriously the sweetest! My sister in law is getting married and I’m in her bridal party… SCORE! But she lives in Kansas. So Annie took the time to help me get sized for the dress and even went out of her way to make sure everything was correct like the style and color etc. I just thought that was so cool because I have to order it through the Whichita David’s Bridal and she went above and beyond for someone who isn’t spending money at her store. That’s professional customer service! I will definitely be back!

So I have gone to David’s bridal during my journey twice. They have a great selection and pretty good prices for bridesmaid dresses. Honestly if your are on a tight budget it is hard to get everything you will need to complete your look for THE day here. Not really of a savings place. Don’t have many perks and discounts for yourself the bride and the wedding party.
Jenny has been my stylist at David’s. She’s nice and attentive made me feel comfortable. But I felt rushed and then the other employees were waiting for me to make a decision made me feel pressured my mom didn’t not like this place at all. No one except for Jenny, acknowledged she was there. Also people were not that friendly they were just interested in BUSINESS THAN THE CUSTOMER.
I recommend to think twice about coming here. You never know there’s more boutiques out there! Do your research!

This place is a disaster and doesn’t tell you about the fine print when purchasing the gown. I really regret buying my gown from here. They made my once in a lifetime experience a nightmare.

I went into the store yesterday and I had an amazing experience from the time I walked in until the time I left! Alicia which was the girl who helped me in the process was so helpful, friendly and informative! She has such a great personality and after every dress I tried on she would ask what I liked and didn’t like and my rate from 1 – 10 and the first one was nice and the second one as well but she saw I wasn’t fully convinced and when she brought the third dress… and I walked out my sisters and my mom and friend had the biggest smile in their faces!!! Once I turned around and looked at myself I instantly felt it and I could help but cry of happiness! It’s true what they say you feel it and it’s just beautiful!!! Alicia did an amazing job with listening to what I was looking for and I loved that she brought me different options because thanks to her I got my WEDDING DRESS and it’s BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you thank you Alicia for the wonderful experience and all of your help!!! I really appreciate it! Your the best!!! If your looking for a dress go to Alicia! She’s the right girl!

OK, so my mom and I went to «just look» at wedding dresses since they were having a huge sale! We did not have an appointment, and a couple of appointments were ahead of us. However when we checked in, the receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. We actually didn’t even have to wait long, maybe 10 minutes or lesls. Chanel assisted us as I logged into my David’s Bridal account so they could start pulling dresses from my favorites that were in my price range.
The store started to get a little busy as I was trying on dresses, and they usually assign two brides to each stylist. So it’s best to make sure you do not have any other prior engagements. Even though Chanel was busy she made sure not to leave me unattended. Even the store manager came to assist me. She was very helpful and friendly as well!
I knew exactly the kind of dress/​style I wanted, and must of tried on at least 10 dresses. I did start to feel a little discouraged because each dress the stylists brought was further than the style I picked. Maybe I wasn’t too clear when I explained what I wanted to them?
However when I was ready to call it quits, I showed Chanel a dress that one of the other brides tried on, and she brought me that style. It was the last dress I decided to try on, and once I saw myself I couldn’t help but cry. It was «THE ONE!»
My mom and I finalized the veil, and the look was perfect! Chanel then brought me the bell to ring when a bride has choses her dress! It was a very nice moment, and I’m so happy with my decision.
I did not expect to find my dress that day, and was really hoping that the stylists would be friendly and helpful. I received nothing less than 5 star service and couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Thank you so much to the manager and Chanel for being so patient, friendly, genuine, and helpful! I’ll never forget that day!
–Blessings!

I got engaged at the end of March and one of my first things to do on my list was to look at wedding dresses!
I made an appointment on a quiet weekday afternoon. My mom, sister, and I were just going to «look» and try on some dresses. I liked that the store wasn’t too crowded and super busy.
Raquel was assigned to help me and let me tell you, she was AMAZING! I explained to her what kind of dress I was interested in, and she brought about 6 – 7 dresses within that criteria. We tried each and every one on — and she was patient, friendly, understanding, and straight to the point… my kind of girl! (For example: if I didn’t like a dress she would say, «It’s OK to tell me NO I don’t like this one!»)
Pricing was what we expected — and we even picked out a Maid of Honor dress for my sister.
So, we order everything, and a couple weeks later I go and pick up my items… I see Raquel working with another bride. I didn’t want to be rude and interupt so I kept my distance looking around while I waited. When Raquel sees me, she runs up and asks how I, my mom and my sister are doing. I was surprised she remembered me! Very sweet and even helped me out to my car. A week or two later, I got a hand written card from Raquel thanking me for my purchase.
This experience was everything and MORE than what I expected for my wedding dress shopping. I want to thank David’s Bridal and Raquel for making this experience a pleaurable and memorable one!

I have to say I was really amazed by this location, I have never been to a David’s Bridal but figured I would be hunting for a dress off the rack. I made the appt. online which was super easy and went in within two days.
Raquel was assigned to me and wow!!! She is amazing!!! She made the experience just like the shows where they cater to you and listen and not to mention her expertise in the industry! She informed me of the designers and the structures of the dresses to help find a flattering fit. I requested she venture off my very narrow list of favorites to help me not miss a thing when looking for my dress. She brought me a «Mikado», which looks something I would never pick! I was hesitant to try it on but I listened to Raquel and so glad I did, IT WAS THE ONE. It fit and flattered me so well, my step mom cried and it was Vera Wang!!! I said «yes» to that dress lol.
I can’t wait for next month to go back with my bride’s maids to get their dresses at a discounted price. I was pleasantly surprised with David’s Bridal but mostly thanks to Raquel one of their wonderful staff who really has a passion for wedding’s and helping us brides out!

My Maid of Honor and I met at David’s Bridal at 3pm on a Monday. I had no idea we needed an appointment (between Spring Break and Proms they were booked). We decided to sit inside anyway and catch up. The greeter ended up coming over to us and said they could fit us in!
Our stylist was Patty J and she was PHENOMENAL! She asked questions to gauge my tastes but also provided a book to look through instead of pulling things of the rack trying to imagine what it would look like on an actual person. SO HELPFUL! 3^rd dress I tried on was the one! She made the whole overwhelming process a breeze. The manager, Emily came over to congratulate me too and I thought that was a nice touch~Very VIP:)
Prices are very reasonable, lots to choose from and I am taking my future Mother in Law there in 2 days to find her dress!

With Heather’s amazing help, I found my dress after only one quick appointment!
I was not looking forward to the experience of dress shopping because, 1. Nearly everything is stressful about wedding planning, 2. I have a health condition that makes trying on clothes an exhausting and uncomfortable experience. I was so pleasantly surprised! We picked out a great selection of dresses to try on. Heather’s advice helped us find a lot of dresses I was excited about. And the entire process was so easy!
I had undivided attention and assistance from my stylist Heather. I was blown away by how much she helped while trying on the dresses. Not only was she clipping and zipping me up, she would quickly run off and grab an item to complete the dress, or grab another similar dress to try on when we asked. She has a lot of expertise and I am so grateful for her knowledge and help.
We even got a little help from the store manager who introduced herself. She told us a few helpful things while deciding on different components. It was all very pleasant.
I wish I got this type of service every time I went clothes shopping!
I would highly recommend making an appointment during the week, as I did. There was only one other bride trying on dresses with her own stylist while I was there. I would not have been able to find such a great dress so quickly and pleasantly without Heather’s undivided assistance.

Review 2: The Dress
As mentioned in my previous review, I had to get them to deliver my dress a few days earlier because I was going out of town. They were very lovely and had it ready when I needed it. They sent me a few email reminders, one for the original appointment, then another for the earlier one. Make sure you call and clarify because you have to acknowledge the appointment.
I arrived and everyone is as cordial as before. They knew I was there to pick up my dress and sent me to the back where the seamstress is.
I took my shoes and undergarments with me to see the whole look. I am so glad I did because the bra was not necessary and I didn’t need any spanx either!
The dress fit beautifully, still tight but made me look thinner, it zipped up so I left it alone. I couldn’t tell where they let it out… if they even did let it out.
Warning: The lighting is gad awful. You will look pasty and every flaw will show. The lighting is meant to make the dress look bright and the bling more blingy. You might look terrible.
I hated how I looked in my dress, I was even having buyers remorse. Although… I did look skinny in it.
I was not charged for the tailoring (maybe because they didn’t even do it) For all know I squeezed my size 8 into a size 6. However, they would have accommodated me if I would have said it was too tight because the seamstress kept asking me if this felt good and if that fit right.
Well I only bought a garment bag $ 10.00 and couldn’t get out of there fast enough. At check out the manager was making conversation. «Are you excited? Are you ready? Do you need help out to your car?» (nice touch)
All I could think was yeah, yeah, let me go home and see what I look like in normal lighting!
Advice:
*Take your undergarments with you and try everything on
*Don’t be sad if you look like a corps in that lighting, it’s not you
*Take the shoes you will be wearing
*walk, dance, and sit in your dress while you are there so they can alter it if it’s still not comfortable.
*When you get home, put on some great music put your dress on again, and the vail (trust me) then play with your hair because you look much different in real lighting *IN A GOOD WAY*
My wedding was small and everything was done in a very short time. If you have more time, I am sure you can have as many fittings as you like. David’s Bridal may not be a fancy boutique that offers champagne, but you will get your beautiful dress for a realistic price and you can use the extra thousand (s) on your honeymoon!
Congratulations and good luck!

Let’s start off this review by saying, Kaylyn is Heaven Sent!
She is the sweetest, funniest, most professional gal I have meet through my whole wedding shopping! Prepare for along review, if anyone knows anything about wedding shopping of any kind, you know that you need to the whole picture!
Now … Let’s rewind to one month ago …* %%%%%%%*
I had my very first appointment at David’s Bridal with some girl (don’t remember her name nor do I care to remember) Anyways, it was a Saturday morning 10 am and there was only one bride and a few bridesmaids trying on dresses. Within 20 minutes it was a full house and the girl who was helping me was assigned about 3 other brides! I ended up finding myself standing in the same dress for about 20 minutes with the girl nowhere in sight and my mom and I just standing there looking silly. No ohh or ahhhs from anyone. The manager Annie did keep checking in but it wasn’t the same experience I had from other places. I ended up going into the dressing room alone and changed back into my own clothes and told my mom I was ready to go. Suddenly, the girl shows up and asks if I want to try anything else on, I politely declined. As I was walking out, she apologized for the lack of attention, which in a way I guess I can’t blame they assigned her all these Brides. Maybe I should be upset with management for overbooking? Anyway, something told me to try again because I really did like the dresses and I feel like I needed to come back. I called back to confirm the appointment I had and Annie (the manager) picked up. I expressed my feelings to her and how I felt abandoned. She was very sweet and apologetic and said she would assign me to another girl, which I was relieved.
My 2^nd appt, walked in and as soon as I seen Kaylyn, I got nothing but positive vibes from her. She was all smiles and interested on what I wanted. She sat me down and even «interviewed» me in way about my wedding, asked about my fiancée. I hadn’t gotten this from the other girl. As soon as we finished she brought over tons of dresses to the style I liked. While dress fitting, she was very polite and asked if I can pardon her hands because she had to fix something. She was seriously like an angel. haha. Seriously. I told her I didn’t want to make a decision that day because I wasn’t able to bring my mom and she never pressured or asked about purchasing. She saved all my dresses I liked and made my follow up appt.
Last and final appt… Meet up with Kaylyn and she asked if there was any other dresses I wanted to try on or get right to the point with the last dresses. I asked for more and she happily got the ones I selected and a few she thought I may like. After about 2 hours the 2^nd to last dress she begged me to try… I found it! The one! I felt so amazing in this dress! She asked how I liked it, what I scored it and if I thought it was «the one» I asked my aunt, my cousin then my mom. My mom replied, «thats you’re dress» She cried, I cried and Kaylyn cried! I rang the bell and claimed my dress! Kaylyn totally redeemed my 1^st bad experience. I even felt as if she was part of the family Haha! Annie was there the whole time looking over to make sure we were okay and at the end all the other gals from David’s Bridal came over and I felt like that is the experience every gal should feel in HER dress. I couldn’t imagine another girl like Kaylyn going through that with me. I hope David’s Bridal know how much of an asset she is to the company. Because of the sale, the dress, slip, belt and preserve box was all under my budget of $ 1000.
*Last tips:
1. Don’t book an appointment on the weekend
2. Sign up at David’s
for additional coupons and notification of sales.
3. Go to Kaylyn, you would regret it :)

I came here for my first fitting last week and I’m just floored by how my dress was bustled. I’ve seen it bustled in pictures online so I was really scared, but Olivia really knew what she was doing. My dress is a Zac Posen, which they don’t carry at this particular store yet, but hopefully it will be stocked here soon. I love people who can appreciate their jobs. We talked about dresses the entire time. It made me so happy to be there. Thank you! I can’t wait to pick it up in February.

For a bride on a budget, it’s tough to beat David’s Bridal. They have a large selection and really friendly staff. I feel like Rebecca and Peyton are friends now! They’ve greeted me with happy smiles and were genuinely excited for me and super helpful — recognizing me each time I came back and remembering details from the previous visit. Even if someone else was helping me, they stopped by to see me in my dress or to see if they could help with anything.
They were all so patient when my friend and her young son came with me for a fitting and he was trying to be patient but ended up running around.
I was sad for a moment to think that I had my dress and wouldn’t be back, but then I remembered that my mom and maid of honor still need to get their dresses!
Total cost:
Dress= $ 350 (on sale) — you can even layaway the dress!
Shoes= $ 25 from $ 49.50 (I had a $ 25 coupon from a bride show.)
Veil= $ 20
Belt= $ 20
Dress bag= $ 10
Alterations= $ 150 (ouch)
Plus tax and all…
Not bad!
