David’s Bridal

I had a wonderful time Monday afternoon usual appointment times run about ninety mins. I however, was there for 4.5 hours not because I didn’t like anything but I had found a huge selection of discounted gowns in my size and something I’d actually wear. I am a sur of the moment bride I needed something decent in a short time frame. I indeed found that today and Sara was a real treat. She didn’t look down on me for looking threw the «clearance» gowns. She in fact made me feel very special since I had no one to bounce ideas off of because my family is in the lower forty eight. She was a photographer for every gown I put on as well as help me sort threw the massive pile I collected. I think it was about thirty gowns I picked out and with her help I vetoed threw them down to about twenty or so. Yeah I really didn’t know what I wanted nor what would look good on. Anyway, Sara was great with me as well as taking care of her prom squad that came threw. After two face time calls to my mom and best friend we settled on the gown. Now the fun part paying and alterations. All in all I got in and out with a dress on budget and alterations made in time for my very upcoming wedding. Thanks again anchorage David’s bridal and especially thanks to Sara she made the experience and a great memory.

I do not recommend shopping or getting alterations done here. I bought a formal gown and was basically ignored while I shopped and treated like I was an inconvenience to them when I needed the dress altered. I really regret not taking the dress elsewhere as I don’t believe the seamstress knew how to alter a dress professionally. The hem is crooked and too short, and curls up in spots since they don’t know how to sew the fabric. The manager came out and measured it, claimed it was straight and that the curls were normal. Only when I made a fuss did they offer to iron the hem to see if that would help, which it did a bit. But the rest of the dress was still completely wrinkled and they just gave it to me like that to take home and rushed me out. It was so unprofessional. I paid quite a bit of money for the dress and alterations to have them give me a wrinkled messed up dress. I would never shop there again.

My daughter scheduled an appointment weeks ago. When we walked in the salesladies were trying to pawn her off on each other. During the appointment the saleslady was unattentive. My friend and I were the ones that were helping her with the train and fit of the gowns. We do not blame the saleslady, or should we say salesgirl? (She looked like she was 10) We truly think she just isn’t trained properly. Wedding gown shopping should be a memory making time, this was a terrible experience. From the lack of preparation, to getting her name wrong on the door, to slapping a random veil on her head without even stopping to help her with it. Literally just ploppled it on her head!
Dear David’s Bridal,
Please make sure you have the right people out on your salesfloor. Please make sure that when they are out there selling your gowns, they look the part. You are in the business of selling a lifetime experience, do it right.

They didn’t have much in stock and the workers just stood behind the front desk gossiping. I literally was standing there waiting to ask where the bridal belts are and no one said anything to me. No one said anything to me the rest of the time I was in the store and I noticed nobody else in the store was being helped either but the 3 – 4 employees were too busy standing behind the front counter gossiping. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

I would like to say a special «Thank you» to Julie, Heather, Malia, Frosty, Kayla, and Courtney.
I went into the store several times and they were all so very patient and kind with me. These ladies at times had their hands full and were very busy, but they were polite and took the time to answer my questions.
The dress needed alterations and then needed to be sent to Palm Springs, California. Everything was on a time crunch and they took care of everything! The alterations were perfect and the dress was shipped properly and taken care of.
I thank those girls for such a wonderful experience and for helping me find that perfect wedding dress. The wedding day turned out to be wonderful and the dress was perfect. I will always recommend people their direction and I will be back to shop for dresses for future events… just this time I won’t be as indecisive! ;)

I had an amazing experience at David’s Bridal this weekend. First, I worked with Malia who was wonderful, she was friendly, knowledgable, patient, and sweet. At first I gave her my 3 must haves, she brought out 3 dresses, I told her the pieces I liked and didn’t like out of those three. She brought out 2 more. Both were absolutely perfect! So perfect that I agonized over which was right for like an hour. She and the other workers checked in with me often but no one pressured me. I asked if it was ok for me to leave to clear my head. Not once did anyone make me feel like an inconvenience (even though I felt like I was being one!) i went home and thought on it over night. After talking with my mom and going over the pros and cons we realized what one I truly loved but that there was one thing missing. We decided to go back and to ask if there was anything that could possibly be done. I went in and spoke with another girl who was super friendly and helpful. She put me in touch with Frostie who is the alterations manager. I told her my vision, she was honest with me, patient and kind, and she assured me we can make it happen! I am so happy I chose David’s Bridal, this experience could not have been more pleasant and overall rewarding! Thank you so much ladies! I can’t wait to see you at my fitting appointment!

My fiancé and I went in to look for wedding dresses, the gal at the front was polite and told us they were busy and that we could look for dresses in one little area. We found a few we liked and were told someone would be right with us. This continued on for an hour always being told «be right with you» and finally we asked if realistically anyone would be with us and we were told probably not. We asked if we really needed a «stylist» as we wanted to check on size and just get a feel for what we liked. We were told they really want us to have the «full experience» and that we may damage the dress without help.
We ended up ordering online and called to make an appointment to get the dresses fitted/​altered. The whole time the gal referred to me in third person pronouns because apparently it is really hard to figure out the gender of someone trying on a dress. I’m not sure if we were being treated this way because we are queer or if they just suck. Seemed like the other straight couples there had no problem getting help.

I’d give them 100 starts if I could! I wrote their corporate a letter thanking them! They are realistic, practical, and feasible. More than once for my wedding they went above and beyond to make my perfect day perfect! I had 6 bridesmaids, my dress, my mother of the bride dress, along with all alterations. I had lost a lot of weight for the wedding and 3 weeks before when I went in for alterations– I had to get a new dress! They not only exchanged it– but gave me the difference for in store credit (the second dress was cheaper!). They found a dress that would work for all of my bridesmaids– all very different bodies. I think everyone should shop around for the perfect dress– but make David’s bridal one of the places you go! I recommend that to all my friends getting married– 2 of them just bought their dresses a their bridesmaid dresses there– I’m a matron on honor in one of them, and they remember me from my wedding a year ago and say hello to me by name! 100% satisfied with them in every interaction I’ve had with them! In particular Julie and Vera (who’s not there any more) from alterations– we’re particularly amazing! And the manager (I think her name is Gia) has been wonderful! Thank you David’s bridal!

I had an appointment to try on wedding gowns at the Davids Bridal in Anchorage. The sales associate had three other brides she was «trying» to tend to as well as me. I had to shop and gather as well as put on all the dresses by my self with no assistance from the associate. That in itself is ridiculous! With no help from the associate I did find the dress of my dreams… And my dreams were then CRUSHED as they GAVE MY GOWN TO SOMEONE ELSE!!!(at least that is their story) Really??? Yes really after I paid for and ordered my dress veil and headpiece. I now have no wedding dress and am waiting to see of they can even get a new one. I will never suggest this store to ANYONE! They are doing nothing to help a stressed out bride but give her dress away!
Well after many hours of telephone calls and appointments (I had to post on their FB page to even get there corporate office to respond to me) …they do not have my dress, cannot get another like it, and will not refund my money, I am forced to pick out another dress from this same store, rush to alter it AND PAY THE DIFFERENCE… If I could give zero stars I would!

If I could leave ZERO STARS I WOULD
Terrible service all around!!!
Sorry I tried and I even came back but I just couldn’t spend my money there! First time came in with an appointment and the sales lady was ok but VERY pushy! Even when I said I was not going to purchase no matter what she continued to be pushy about making a purchase that day! Also knew little about what was in stock. I was also upset because I went online to their website and picked several dresses out online to be told to find the dresses I wanted… Everything was white and wrapped up I had no idea how to locate the dresses I had picked online…
Then the second time I went in I planned on purchasing a dress that day… BUT once I was pushed aside while teenagers tried on lower costing prom dresses and treated rudely by the staff I could not bring myself to drop 2000 on a dress at that store.
I had a few issues specific to me. I had a tattoo I wanted covered by my dress and I wanted a modest dress… the sales rep did not seem to understand this and continued to show me dresses I was not interested in.
GO TO ANDERSONS BRIDAL… you might spend a little more but the quality is better and the service is better make an appointment
Talk to Star shes the best or email her
SHE WAS AMAZING and not pushy at all… Tell her Christina said hello!!!

Love my experience! First time shopper n didnt know where n how to start. Had no idea what I wanted. I left the store after closing time. All the gals that helped me were friendly and helpful.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. I just went down there this weekend to look for my wedding dress and the woman who was supposed to help me did not help at all. I had to go find the dresses to try on, bring them over to the fitting room and get into them myself. Any questions I asked she was completely uninterested in and would answer with a yes or no. Worst customer service, although the women at the front were very friendly. The dresses that I tried on had really cheap fabric and looked like they’d been tried on and worn way too many times.

Not sure why everyone gave them 2 stars, but I had a pleasant experience here! I was running 30 mins late for my appointment and they still greeted me with a smile and was super friendly. Upon arrival, I received a bag of goodies and was notified about promotions and offers they currently had. I had an appointment schedule with Gia and she was so sweet and helpful. Prior to coming here, I printed out a few dresses that I wanted to try on. They had all of them in store! Yay!
Gia was super informative and even gave me some insight on the designers. I fell in love with a Vera Wang dress and learned that even though the collection is named «White», she doesn’t have a single white dress in the line!
I loved how Gia also went through every little single detail from bridesmaid dresses and color swatches, down to jewelry and shoes!
It does take more than a few weeks to get your dress altered to the way that fits you best. Some dresses are even made to order! Perhaps that’s why the other reviewers reflected that as poor service. Even if you order the dress online, it’s not going to arrive and fit you perfectly. You’re gonna have to get it altered people!
Remember to ask for Gia if you’re ever shopping here. She was great and will take care of you! She helped me say «Yes to the dress!»

If you go here, I would recommend asking for an appointment with someone other than Desree. She was not pleasant to work with. Also, I had a specific dress in mind and just wanted to check what size I should order and she said «good luck getting it,» (the dress I wanted, if I bought it online). She said if she ordered it, it wouldn’t get here in time (even though the wedding is over a month away) so I bought another dress they had in the store. However, I just looked online and the dress in my color and size says I would receive it in next week. I feel like she just wanted her commission… if the dress I bought wasn’t final sale, I’d return it and order the one I originally wanted.
