David’s Bridal

Came in this past Sunday for my appointment and had a wonderful experience! I am on kind of a time crunch because my wedding is in mid August. Desdrith was AWESOME! SO down to earth and friendly. She picked out all kinds of dresses for me and worked really hard to find me the dress of my dreams! She wasn’t at all pushy or trying to get me to buy all kinds of things or spend a fortune on a dress. She respected my budget. She was funny and i felt like i was just hanging out with one of my girlfriends. I found my dream dress and had an amazing day with my girlfriends! Thank you Desdrith and Davids Bridal for making this day so great for me and finding me such a beautiful and perfect wedding dress!

Went in this past Sunday for the first time location. I was immediately greeted by Joanna. Throughout the whole process Joanna and Gabby we very helpful and honest. I have never been to a Davids Bridal where the associate actually consulted me and gave me advice and different options for my circumstances (i am a pregnant bride). I am happy to say I SAID YES TO THE DRESS and it is all due to the help of these two girls!!! You are awesome Joanna and Gabby!
Oh and another plus, there was another bride (i’m assuming) who handed me a $ 50 dollar off coupon while i was there.
Come here if you are looking for a wedding dress!

After going to another store whose initials are A.A. and had really terrible dresses, I stopped by David’s. They had cute styles that were light, airy fabric which is perfect for my best friends hot river wedding. Alyssa hooked us up on more than once occasion. She helped me and the other bridesmaids find dresses. We pretty much just hung out in the dressing room and she kept bringing things to try. We all found our perfect style at David’s and were in & out in a jiff. I’ll be sending all my friends and family to Alyssa from now on!

Had an appointment here last Sunday at 12:30pm. My sister, mom, and I checked in, but we weren’t seen by a stylist until about 30 mins later. I was originally set up with a young lady, but shortly after being taken to my dressing room and giving her my sizes, they set me up with a new stylist. At first, I wasn’t having a good experience, but to be honest, I am so happy that they did set me up with a new stylist, because Rudy G. was just awesome! He made us feel so comfortable and he was so much fun! He made this whole experience for my mom, my sister, and I absolutely wonderful! He showed me many dresses that were the style that I asked and then he showed me dresses that he thought I should try. Thanks to Rudy I found the perfect dress! He was just fabulous and he is the reason why my review is 5 stars!

I just went to my first dress fitting on Tuesday. I cannot remember her name and forgot to get her business card. All I know is that she is the alterations manager and has worked alongside Dolce & Gabanna, Gergio Armani, etc. She was such a sweetheart since the beginning and really tried to work with my budget. Throughout the entire time she spoke to me about various things and made me feel really comfortable but most importantly, made me feel confident that my dress will be fitting perfectly next month for my wedding! She had so many tips and tricks and reassured me that my dress would not slip off and I will not have the worry of picking at it to make sure that it’s in its place. She made my waist look so small! I believe her name was Elena now that I think about it. Elena is so talented and has a huge passion for what she does. She cares so much about her brides. Yes, it is still pricey, but you’re paying for the quality of work and reassurance that you will not be disappointed. She worked very diligently and I felt like I was only standing there for 10 mins before she was done: I have never seen someone move as fast as she does. I am in love with my dress but seeing it fitted to my body perfectly just made it that much better. Thanks to Elena, I will be looking perfect for my wedding day! I can’t wait to pick up my dress on July 13^th! Thank you so much for your wonderful help Elena!

We picked up the wedding dress and it was not steam out as promised. The first time they said they did it but it’s quite obvious it was very wrinkled still. The second time still looks the same. The lady kept arguing that it was fine. We don’t even want to bother. Paid for it to get steam else where. David bridal needs to consider retraining the staff that handles this. I have spoke to other brides and apparently this is a common problem at this location.

Terrible customer service. Gave me attitude when I came in and ignored me the whole time while I waited for them to stop talking so I could get a fitting room. Will not be shopping here every again. I went to David’s Bridal Shops before but this is by far the worst one.

Awful experience the alterations department is a joke! Was on hold or 15 min to make complaint. My whole experience has been a nightmare! The whole staff very unprofessional they try and nuclear and dime you! Be smart and go somewhere else. They also will rush you even when you have an appointment. Go to Alfred Angelo instead.

I don’t have any words to express my gratitude and appreciation that Elena (Alterations Manager) has bestowed upon my family and I. She has done 3 generations of my families alterations and every one of them were superb. I first had the pleasure of meeting Elena at my sisters bridal alterations and fittings back in 2010, and now for my wedding she has done my alterations a mere 6 years later… Her undying kindness and unending concern for how every bride should feel on her wedding day in her gown is impeccable. I truly am sincerely fortunate that Elena was able to do her magic on my dress. I’m in between 2 sizes. Up top a bigger size and down below a smaller size; She was able to adjust it according to my bodies needs and my personal concerns.
I personally feel and believe that David’s Bridal Brea is fortunate enough to have her (This store is a mess! Would not come to this location if not for Elena!) Not only is she flawless at her career (she loves doing alterations, has been in alterations for years and years!), she is that much more of an asset to the David’s Bridal Company as her bubbly personality attracts brides to the store and her charming personality keeps them coming back for more all the while providing references.
Thank you, Elena Alarcon for boosting my self-​image and truly believe that I am as beautiful as you’ve made me in that gown on my special day.

I went recently to David’s Bridal with my sister to get her Bridal Gown and Bridesmaid dresses. The first time we went to try on bridesmaid dresses and Alexis help she was super friendly and patient with us. The second time we went my sister tried on wedding gowns and Kim and the Kristy helped us both super nice and helpful. She actually picked a picked the dress she wanted. When we came back to get the dress, Kristy the manger was amazing making the bride feel special totally helpful and offering extra options. I can tell that she works extra hard running around helping everyone. Also shout out to the in house seamstress/​tailor she was also very helpfully, I am sorry I forgot her name.

There are no words that can express the experience I had with Elena. She was absolutely amazing!
She made me feel so amazing. She was so sweet and made sure to listen to my needs. I will follow her wherever she goes. I hope she never leaves David’s bridal. She is a huge part of my wedding and I feel so blessed to have her part of my life. Thank you thank you for all you’ve done. I can’t wait to put my dress on.

This is some kind of joke.
This store literally failed me.
Get your lazy ass together.
When we went to pick up our dress and etc we purchased, which was about 1000, we were 5 min late and they made us wait 20 min.
This part was okay…
NOT okay part was,
1) They just handed the stuffs and asked us if we needed to try them on because they were already helping others and we were 5 min late with appointment!!! WTF.
Duh… Final fitting? Right?
2) Wrinkly Dress? Dress wasn’t ironed.
Bottom part was the worst.
They literally handed me go home with this wrinkly dress? We asked where do we get this done?! and they said they would do it and we need to come back.
Then, Why didnt you do it already?
How could me make me go home with this?
Unbelievable. Horrible.
3) Wrong size Slip, Large instead of XS.
Hahahaha
4) Corset was missing Hooks on top?
I wonder if it was even new.
Total disaster.
They almost ruined the whole thing.
Literally the worst ever.

Where should I begin? A few weeks before my wedding I stumbled upon a Buzzfeed article containing the wedding dress of my dreams. I scrolled through the comments anxiously to try to find out who made the dress. Turns out it was actually a specialty dress in the prom category from David’s. I looked online, took a screenshot and went to the Brea location. Alyssa was so incredible in assisting me. She found the dress — however, there were no locations found in California. She called the closest store with my size — Tulsa, Oklahoma, and had them send it directly to my house.
I received it express delivery and had them hem the dress for me. Elena from the alterations department did an AMAZING job with the dress.
I picked it up two days before my wedding. I’ve never received more compliments in my entire life. I didn’t want to take it off! It was perfect for our Malibu wedding and pictures.
A huge thank you to the entire team at the Brea location for literally making my dreams come true. Your kindness and willingness to go above and beyond means the world to me. #foreverthankful

This is the only David’s bridal I have been to so, hopefully they are not all this bad…
I had no appointment my first time there, I’m a very simple person on a budget and I arrived with my maid of honor to purchase my wedding dress and her bridesmaid dress. When we walked in, none of the 3 employees chatting at the front check-​in counter greeted us or even looked away from the conversation they were having to acknowledge us so, we Just start looking at the clearance section of dresses to get a few ideas going. About 10 mins later an employee approached us asking if we had an appointment and what we were looking for. We told her we didn’t, and she responded that to look for a wedding dress we would need an employee to assists us. She said they were completely booked for that evening so she didn’t think she could get anyone to help us. Then we ask if we can just look around for a few ideas and help ourselves. She said ok. So we do and then when I had 4 dresses to try on, we ask to use a fitting room and got the run around again that we need an associate to help us if we want to try on the dresses. She said the best she could do is send over a girl who just started working there and was in training. I responded that that was perfect as we didn’t need much assistance because I am a simple person and wanted to just pick a dress and get out. I try on the 4 dresses, ended up picking the 1^st one I tried on. My maid of honor did the same and chose her dress as well. We checked out at the front and bought garment bags for our dresses and I made an appointment for my fitting directly with the lady who does the fittings there. We leave, then I get a call the next day from the lady who does the fittings saying she wasn’t available for the time I booked. OK? So we adjusted the time and made a new appt.
I arrive the day of my fitting on time with my mother, and the lady who was supposed to help me was busy with a previous customer. So she said another lady would help me until she had to go to her lunch break (which they argued about for a minute in front of us, as the lady wanted her lunch break right then and there instead of after assisting me for 20 mins until the original lady was ready to help me) and then I would finish off being helped by the original lady we made our appt with. I get assigned a changing room and first off, there are pins from previous fittings all over the floor, and I am sure most women trying on dresses have to be shoeless at some point… that seemed very careless of them not to check after each fitting is they would have ended up inside my foot if I didn’t notice them. Anyways, the fitting went OK, other than having to hear the lady boast about her experience in dress fittings her entire life, and we got out of there as soon as we could. I don’t know what it is about your staff there but the one and only person who actually treated me nicely and like she cared for my business was the new girl in training that helped me my first time there. It’s too bad I didn’t care to want to know all of these ladies’ names. Then I could have been more specific in my review. Anyways, STAY AWAY!

To the staff at David’s Bridal. Over the weekend my daughter had a poor experience at Alfred Angel Bridal and left in tears.
After I drove them to your shop it was a complete 180. Thank you for treating them with respect and providing them with the proper customer service.

This review is for the initial wedding dress buying experience only, but I have high hopes for alternations/​fittings to come. I am major type A so of course I wanted to know what to expect at my first wedding-​dress search. I read reviews here on Unilocal,I googled «what to expect at David’s Bridal» and… I had really low expectations. Being on a very tight budget meant I couldn’t go to fancy boutiques and play the Clueless soundtrack while I sashayed out of a fitting room in ball gown after ball gown. David’s Bridal is one of the only (though not THE only) places to find wedding dresses under $ 500 and so I had picked my favorites online, made a Saturday appointment and prepared for the worst?
Here’s what I was told to expect:
— it’s a weekend appointment so it will be a madhouse
— I’d have to wait 20 – 30 minutes after my set appointment time to get into a fitting room
— my consultant would disappear and I’d have to fend for myself
Here’s what I actually experienced:
— I got to my appointment 15 minutes early, checked in, and was introduced to my consultant 5 minutes later and led to a fitting room
— It was a really quiet afternoon in the store. Maybe major city locations are crazier?
— My consultant «disappeared» but only to get a print out of the wedding dresses I had favorited online. Unfortunately many of the dresses were not in the store (hence –1 star) :(
— But he quickly brought in dresses he thought were similar based on what I explained that I wanted
— He left me to try things on with my mom and show my aunt and cousin but checked in frequently to make sure I had enough dresses to look at and didn’t grumble at all when I asked for more
— I wasn’t pressured at all into buying a dress! Which led me to buy a dress.
Hats off to Rudy and thanks for letting me turn into a bridezilla for 10 minutes while you figured out what I meant when I said «i HATE this dress [and I’m really looking for this other kind of dress]». So fear not, fellow brides, shopping in a chain store doesn’t have to be terrible, which is good news for you and your wedding budget.

I give this location a ⁴⁄₅ due to Candice Johnson. She was my original stylist who was assigned to help me find a wedding dress as well as bridesmaid dresses. She was patient and kind and asked many questions to see what I wanted. I was oblivious to everything dress related, so she really went above and beyond. With her help I was able to make a choice for my wedding dress.
Honestly, I don’t think I would have made the purchase if it wasn’t for Candice helping me. The other girls then and afterwards weren’t as friendly or helpful.
I just want to thank you again, Candice!

I like David’s bridal and the convenience of them being located EVERYWHERE since all of my bridesmaids are out of state. I just do not recommend this particular location.
I already had my wedding dress. My sister had bought it for herself from David’s and ended up using a different one. So when I went in looking just for bridesmaid dresses it was very different. They said someone would be with me shortly, it took more than 30 minutes. When they finally did come help we had already picked out all of the dresses to try on.
She introduced herself quickly, led us to the dressing room and disappeared, never to be seen again. I’m sorry that $ 700 in bridesmaid dresses isn’t important enough to get help from people who are paid to do that. I was with my mom, sister, and best friend. We were there for an hour. At one point the girl walked past us and completely ignored us.
Thanks David’s Bridal for the most amazing experience a girl could ask for
Won’t be coming back here

I would recommend going to a David’s first. They are everywhere and for the most part, they all have the same stock. This is a place that has every style and fit that you could possibly imagine. The quality isn’t as top notch as some of the fancier or boutique stores, but the styles are similar and the prices may pull you in. It’s definitely easy to find a great dress under $ 1500 (actually, most of their dresses are under $ 1500) so this is a great place to start. David’s Bridal is also great if you don’t have your mind made up 100% on a dress style. They are great not only at making you feel like a bride and take you through their styles, but also recommending cuts for your specific body type.
Definitely come here first and to see what trends are available. It’s a one-​stop shop that will give you a good idea of what you want!

Came here, with an appointment, with one of my bridesmaids for her to try on dresses. Service was ehh throughout. She was polite, but it was kind of an arrogant polite, if that makes any sense. My BM tried on about 5 or 6 dresses and the woman helping us didn’t help her get in or out of the dresses or really offer any help/​suggestions with anything. She just kind of stood off to the side and stared at us… awkward. As for the dresses themselves, they were okay, but my BM felt she could find comparable dresses (styles) in better quality elsewhere. It did help us get an idea of styles we both liked, though.
When we left, I asked for the associate to write down the style numbers of the dresses we tried on. She said she would add them to my account instead. I specifically confirmed with her that she was talking about the DB account I could sign into online (same as I’d made the appointment reservation through) and she said yes. That was Thursday, and now it’s Sunday, and there are no dresses in my account. Not sure if it takes them a while, or she’s talking about another account, or if she just didn’t do it. The SA at the other location I went to when I tried on wedding gowns had no problem writing down the style numbers for me, so… I don’t know.
Another disappointing experience with David’s Bridal. I really much prefer the quality of service (and follow through) with smaller boutiques, and honestly, I have found prices comparable to DB’s.
