David’s Bridal

Went here for bridesmaid dresses with our bride. We pretty much did everything on our own. The consultant that was SUPPOSED to be helping us, pretty much abandoned us. But we found the right dresses by ourselves. Might as well go to Fantastic Finds and be made to feel like you’re important, rather then be one of many appointments at the time.

I booked an appointment there a couple months ahead of time. I walked in with my mom, sister and grandma, some very special people in my life. A girl came up to me and was pretty nice. She asked me exactly what I was looking for. Most of the dresses she picked out were decent but looked tacky and cheap. She also had two other appointments at that time. So she had to juggle all 3 of us. I tried on a satin dress I liked and I asked if there’s anything similar I could try on. She said no and just walked away to her other appointments. There was also a little girl running around, stepping on my dress, trying to get into my room and nobody was doing anything about it. I felt rushed and unimportant. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. It’s just a hassle and not good dresses. Out of all the dresses I tried on, I only thought 1 was decent.

Went here for my bridesmaid’s dresses and couldn’t have asked for a better expe​ri​ence​.Ms. Kim was our consultant and did a great job. Not only was she patient but was so helpful and the dress she suggested we picked. Oh and they had a great selection of bridesmaid dresses at a great price.

Not only was the experience itself dull, boring and uneventful, but I later found out that the company sold my information to dozens of other companies! How do I know this for sure? When I made arrangements with David’s Bridal it was for my sister’s wedding so I used my phone number, email and address but her name. Now, months later, I have received countless phone calls for her stating that she has won _​_​_​_​_​or has been selected for makeup or hair trials… this is literally endless. I also get magazines, offerings and flyers in her name at least 2 – 3 times a week! As if that weren’t enough, David’s Bridal sold my email address to other websites and local businesses so now I get obscene amounts of spam email daily about the most random things and new store openings in my area that I could care less about on top the regular junk email that shows up from David’s. My advice, if you really want to go here, DO NOT give them your correct contact information!

My married friends all tried their best to convince me NOT to check out David’s Bridal while making plans to begin searching for a wedding dress. I’ve always had to learn the hard way, though, and proceeded to stop into this David’s Bridal location while in the area to see what they offer in person before making a decision on whether or not to book an appointment. I saw that they carried Vera Wang White gowns at affordable prices online, and was pretty excited about saving some money on what tends to be a huge expense for most brides.
I walked around the store for about fifteen minutes and had yet to be approached by any members of the staff — despite there being a huge team of employees there that afternoon. I finally went to the counter and introduced myself to the girl there, and asked her if it would be okay if I took a look at the bridal gowns before booking an appointment, just to narrow down where I’d like to try on dresses. The girl stared at me like I was a huge nuisance and, with a snotty tone, asked me «So, you ARE the bride?» and I told her yes… she asked «When’s the wedding?» and I gave her the date and she hesitantly said «I guess that’s fine. Just don’t take any thing out of the bag.»
I understand that these kinds of stores probably do get teenagers and non-​buyers in all the time, who waste their time trying on gowns. But… I imagine most of those people come in groups and aren’t wearing engagement rings and carrying a wedding planner with them. I came in and told her that I specifically WASN’T looking to waste someone’s time that day and that I was hoping to schedule an appointment in the near future with officially try on dresses. I was treated like I didn’t count…
I looked around for another fifteen minutes… truthfully, I didn’t like more than one dress in their inventory. Every thing felt cheap and lacked quality (just like my friends said they would). The girls in the shop never even followed up with me, or asked if I’d like to book an appointment as I purposely slow-​walked out of there, hoping someone would ask.
It was a poor experience that I’ve shared countless times since. They’ve created another anti-David’s Bridal bride.
