David’s Bridal

I went through David’s Bridal for my wedding and I must say that on my end everything was ok. The dress amazing, the shoes and veil had to be returned because they sent me worn and torn items, as if both were display items. My Maid of Honor was the most distraught. She was informed that her dress wouldn’t be in in time for her size (only to find out the website had it and for cheaper but the store not gonna tell you that) so she purchased another size and they promised in alterations that it would be right. Well, it wasn’t, her dress kept falling through the wedding and the only thing the Slidell, LA store Manager can say was «well if it stayed up during the fitting we can’t do anything about that» Really? 10 mins compared to over 4 hours. This location needs to do better and I advise anyone if they tell you they don’t have your size or it will take to long go online cause you can get it much faster and most of the time at a better price.

My mom is getting married in August and Ms. Irene helped me find a new dress because the original dress was out of stock. She was courteous and very helpful. It took less than 30 minutes. In and out!

Having just left the Metairie location and having a mini-​breakdown in their parking lot, I was not expecting much when my mom said «Those awful women will not ruin this day! We are going to Slidell.» (There’s a long ass review for the Metairie store, too. Read it. I’m funny.) We got there at around 3:30 on Valentine’s Day. I immediately apologized to the three women at the welcome desk for not having an appointment. One of them jokingly said «No appointment?! Get out!» I’m not going to lie. Witty sarcasm goes a long way with me. They were all immediately laughing and joking. They were all professionally dressed and very friendly. I explained my previous bad experience and they apologized. They began searching their computer for the dress I was looking for and said they didn’t have it but they could order it. Before I do that, they insisted I try on something similar to get an idea of my size. Jessica, the impossibly nice associate, and I find one we think is similar and I try to on. It fits. It looks beautiful. They even agreed to an exchange if I order the dress and it doesn’t fit. THIS is how wedding dress shopping should be. I can’t wait to get my dress in and try it on. I’m so glad I didn’t walk around in spanx all day for nothing!

This was the worst experience for my daughter and myself. My daughter is getting married September 14^th 2016 this is the first place we went to look for dresses, she tried on about five then our attendant tells us we have 15 minutes left for our appointment that’s right they only give you an hour and a half to look for a dress that is crazy, then we take the bridesmaids back to look for their dresses and they give you an hour, then they tell my daughter her dress will be in in April 2016 it showed up two weeks after her appointment and she was forced to pick it up within a week, and I live out of state, so she was forced to go back and get her dress without her mother being present. this is the worst place I have ever shoped at and will never ever go back good luck if you shop at this store.

you guys– my experience with Davids Bridal was great, i found my gown during my first appointment and the staff was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. BUT i feel inclined to warn anyone who is thinking about purchasing the gown preservation kit, — PLEASE DONT DO IT. I sent my gown in July 23^rd 2015– it is now September 23. i called davids bridal a few weeks ago to see what was going on with it and i was told to give it two more weeks and then if i still hadn’t received it I was directed to call the company that cleans the dresses (Davids Bridal does not clean them– they outsource it to a company in Houston). I finally got in touch with that company today, and my dress is GONE. They say when my box that contained my dress arrived, it was extremely damaged, and empty. Being that all the contact info is located on a slip on the inside of the box with the dress, no one could contact me to notify me of this problem. They had my name from the shipping label, and contacted Davids Bridal. They were told that Davids Bridal could not look up my information (which i find hard to believe). So here i am, devastated, without my gown. I am in this horrible process of filing claims with UPS and the cleaning company and it is just horrible– its turning out to be a dead end and no one is willing to help me through this. If i could do it all over again i would NEVER have sent my dress to anyone. I would only trust to physically walk my dress into a dry cleaning company and personally hand it to them and physically go pick it back up.
I will never get back this most sentimental item, my daughter will never have the chance to wear her mother’s dress, and overall this is just extremely sad. I urge anyone and everyone to think twice about sticking such an important item in the mail, i definitely wish that i had. :(

Although this location didn’t have the 2 dresses I wanted my bridesmaids to try on, Gabi (our stylist) was more than helpful with sizing information, measuring, and making my fiancé’s daughter feel very comfortable. Thanks so much for all your help, Gabi!

I’ve been to this David’s bridal multiple times for bridal/​bridesmaids dress shopping. The first time was for my friends wedding. I was the MOH, and we went to David’s bridal to narrow down the style she was interested in for the wedding. We went back the next week with the rest of the bridesmaids and chose the dress for the wedding. Our consultant, I believe her name is Catherine, was so helpful and patient with over 8 ladies/​women laughing and goofing off.
The only draw back to David’s Bridal is they don’t let you put down a deposit. The only way to do that is if you get a credit card. Wasn’t expecting that the first time.
Just recently went there for my bridal gown and had a great experience with my consultant. She was so helpful, very professional, non pushy, and knew her stuff! She knew which dresses I would like and wouldn’t like based off of stuff I had tried and she was 100% right. She told me to try on a dress that I wasn’t even interested in and I ended up falling in love with it. I had a budget for just my dress, and my dress, and veil were way under budget!
Whoever says this place is expensive is INSANE! Please tell me where I can buy a dress and veil for under $ 2000. No where. Unless it’s bridal consignment shop or something. Lol.
And most bridal places come in dresses for an average height women of 5’5″ wearing a 3 inch heal. It’s not just David’s bridal. It’s the standard height everywhere.

I had a great experience at David’s Bridal of Slidell. I had a set budget that I wanted to spend and ended up getting my dress for $ 700 (yes, $ 700!) cheaper than my set amount! I ended up getting my dress, veil, and headband for the wedding for hundreds less than I had allotted. My bridesmaids all picked their dresses the same day and got $ 20 off of their dresses and were pleased with the colors/​selection available. I know that I would have never gotten a dress for the amount of money I spent at a local bridal boutique (believe me I checked.) The girl helping me was named Gabby and was the most patient human I’ve been around as my crew and I were a handful! She waited on me hand and foot. Every single person working in the store that day walked by to see me in my dress and to congratulate me. They were so sweet and helpful. Overall I have zero complaints and would take my business back there anytime.

It’s hard dealing with these people. I’ve been here for several bridesmaid dresses and it’s always a bad experience. My last dress I had to order and I was told I would get a phone call when it arrived. I wasn’t worried about the dress arriving any time soon but about a month before the estimated arrival date I received an email saying if I didn’t pick up my dress it was going to be sent back. When I called the girl told me, «Yeah it has been here 3 weeks. It looks like we never got around to calling you but don’t worry before we actually send it back we would try and call you.» Uhhhh thanks?

I’m not really sure what the hell happens to women when they are getting married but a lot of them sort of lose it and go crazy. It must be that whole fairytale complex starting at the age of 2 or so for girls being fed Disney’s version of weddings and Prince Charming.
David’s Bridal takes advantage of this and charges an insane amount of money for a wedding dress and an insane amount of money for a bridesmaids dress. I’ve been on the unfortunate end of having to purchase a few bridesmaids dresses (and a couple of flower girl dresses) from them and it was never pleasant.
First of all, they only carry dresses for the «average» woman in terms of height. I’m 5’2. I suppose that’s not average. I need to always get their dresses altered, which is an additional and unwelcome expense. Secondly, they are always really snooty here. And let’s not forget the insane prices.
Please ladies, shop local for your wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses. Or better yet, elope. It’ll be so much less stressful. And cheaper.
