David’s Bridal

I was looking for a wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses. Yvonette was soo helpful and really patient with me!!!

Lindsey is by far the best when it came to my dress shopping experience. She was the greatest help and knew the style I was going for. I was happy to say yes to the dress. She is highly recommended and doesn’t make you feel forced or uncomfortable.

Jodi from this David’s Bridal is truly amazing! I have dealt with her a few times, always pleasant and very helpful!

So far, I have had 2 visits to David’s Bridal with Christine and she is so fantastic! My first visit was the Sunday after Thanksgiving and I had 17 dresses on my wish list. She helped me narrow down what I was looking for and had great suggestions that I had not seen before. I tried on 7 dresses and fell in love with 2, but walked out that day with 1. Even the veil she brought out was perfect with my style! I hate to shop and she made it very easy.
The second visit was the Sunday after Christmas, even though my dress had already arrived 2 weeks before I really wanted to come back in. After having a crazy month I wanted to have a backup plan in place. Also I am considering having a second dress for the reception. I had a different group with me this time and she handled them and their suggestions wonderfully. Knowing I was on edge she kept me much calmer then I thought was possible!
Any time I am need of a special occasion dress I will make sure to go see her. I am so grateful that she was my stylist!

I had an awesome experience ! Diane Richardson did a fabulous job finding my perfect dream dress ! She found exactly what I was looking for and also stayed within my budget ! I will be making my appointment with her to help pick the bridesmaids dresses ! Thank you Diane Richardson for all your hard work !

My experience with David’s Bridal in Sunrise started off really good, then it was concerning, but then everything ended up going great. Let me explain:
I made an appointment with David’s Bridal to try on different dress silhouettes. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, so I felt I needed to get my feet wet first before I dove in completely. My stylist, Barbie, was amazing and had the best attitude about helping me find what looks great. We ended up with a few styles I wanted to really focus on and made a 2^nd appointment to come back and get serious.
I was really excited about my 2^nd appointment. I had my maid of honor with me. We had champagne to toast. I was ready. When we arrived (1^st appointment of the day), it turned out my stylist Barbie wasn’t working. I was disappointed because I liked her a lot and I wanted to give her my business (they work off commission) and I was confused because the day before I confirmed the appointment and asked if Barbie had any earlier availability, and they never said anything about her not being available at all. I wouldn’t have made the appointment unless it was with her, so I was thinking maybe she had to switch her schedule or something… that was ok, but I was feeling really guilty; my maid of honor was here from out of town and we were there for a purpose, so I wasn’t going to reschedule.
We were paired with Christine J. I explained to Christine that I had met with Barbie before and we picked out some styles, but management couldn’t find anything on file for me. I’m not sure if it was lost or under another name or what, but we basically had to start from scratch. I was beyond annoyed because I have a difficult body type to style and now we had to spend extra time going through which styles would work and what I was looking for… on TOP of that the girl at the front wouldn’t let us bring our champagne in (which is crap because the time I went before, there were TWO bridal parties in there drinking up and having a good time… that’s the only reason I thought it was okay to bring drinks). So you can now imagine… I’m annoyed, I’m trying to stay positive, but now they won’t let me drink so it’s extra hard! haha.
Anyway, Christine was great. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for her to work with me at first. I was upset, I didn’t know what I wanted or had any real vision of what I wanted my wedding dress to look like… but we got right to it. She started to pull different dresses and we narrowed it down. I think it took about 8 – 10 try ons but she was extremely patient and understanding. She has a great attitude and once we started to try on the dresses, everything that happened before was forgotten. The last dress I tried on was the perfect dress for me, and I ended up ringing the bell & purchasing a gorgeous and incredibly affordable gown. I just want to say that I think these girls should get an award. Dealing with crazy brides is not an easy task and things happen. Information gets lost or miscommunicated and it takes a thick skin to keep on going with a smile. Christine was accommodating, friendly, and enthusiastic. Both of the stylists I worked with made me feel special and if you’re making your first appointment here, I’d suggest asking for either of these girls.
*As a side note, on my first visit, I was alone. I only recently moved to South Florida from New York, so all my girlfriends and my mom/​aunts/​siblings are still there. I didn’t have any one to come with me on my first visit. I explained this to Barbie and I felt so pathetic there alone. But Barbie made me feel at ease and we had a great time. She acted as a substitute best friend and I really appreciated that. She’s a real gem. These stylists will forever be part of my «wedding story» and I appreciate them both for giving me some great memories.

It was my first time going dress shopping and I found my dress that day. I got there earlier than my appointment and they were able to see me before. My consultant Barbie V. was awesome!!! I gave her an idea of what I was looking for and what my budget was and she did an excellent job and finding dresses that looked great on me! In fact the first dress she put on me was the one I choose! And I LOVED the bell ritual they do when you say yes to the dress! It was really a great experience!

So my mother in law and I went into Davids bridal just to see what they had and to have some type of service. We received the worst service ever! The person who was supposed to help us just kept leaving to gossip with someone else. My mother in law kept asking questions and this person was just very rude about the whole experience

Found the perfect dress for my bf wedding! I was close to giving up on my search and Victoria was able to find me a bridesmaid dress that flatters my body! They didn’t have the color In the size I needed in the store but Victoria helped me to order it online and get it on time! Thank you so much for your patience! Highly recommend it!

I’m giving this store a 2 and not a 1 because I believe my experience was based on THIS store and not David’s Bridal as a company! I wasn’t even going to leave a review until I heard a 3^rd story about the service in this store. I’m only going to speak of MY experience!
I made an appt for a Friday when I had off work and my mom and cousin, who was visiting from out of town could come with me. I was called on the previous Wednesday to confirm for Thursday. When I explained I had scheduled for Friday with Barbra I was told «No, you scheduled for Thursday» not, «I’m sorry there must have been an error!» Not, «oh, let me see what I can do», just flat out attitude and a very uninterested in helping associate! I Would have just hung up and ended it there but, I had family coming with me who had made plans to be there and THEY were looking forward to it. I asked if it were a possibility to make a NEW appt for Friday (since she insisted I scheduled it for Thursday) after a brief hold I was told that we could be accommodated and We’d be meeting with Barbra. Well, Barbra was off that Friday and we had Julissa who was on the phone when we arrived. She acknowledged me and I said I have an appt with Barbra. She pointed to a dress area to her left and said go look around. We were confused as most of the dresses were in bags. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to pull them out or off the rack or where to even begin looking for what I wanted. It was all very overwhelming! After about 15 minutes we just went and stood back by the front desk. I didn’t feel like we knew what we were doing and wanted to get some guidance. Julissa came back and asked me what I was looking for. I asked if Barbra would be helping us she said, «why, did you request Barbra?» I said no, that’s just who we were told we had the appt with. She said, «well, Barbra’s not here today. If you want to come back tomorrow, Barbra can help you». I let that roll off my back in the interest of staying optimistic! I explained what I was looking for and she said «ok, I got you». She walked us to the dressing area, sat us down and plopped a book with some post its in my hand. She told me to start marking some pages, don’t look at price or color (I did have a budget and I was specifically looking at Ivory). She wanted me to just pick what I liked. We went through the entire book before she came back. She took the book and flipped through the pages I had marked and said, «you know all of these are out of your price range right?!!» I said yes, but you told me to just mark what I liked! She said she’d be back with some dresses but, before she disappeared again I asked about the $ 99 sale. It was as if I had smacked her in the head! She was very quick to say we really don’t have much left and directed me to a rack with 7 – 9 dresses. There were only 3 styles and different sizes of those 3. I pulled one off and she asked «who is that for?» I replied «me, I’m thinking for the rehearsal dinner» she quickly informed me that was NOT my size! In fact, she said «girl, you are not a 12. Your more like a 16 in these dresses.» I don’t recall her actually taking any measurements and NOW, I know wedding dresses run very small but, If I were not with my family, there would have been nothing stopping me from walking out! I entertained them and fought back tears. (Not happy tears). I tried on 3 dresses. None of which I picked in the book. None of which matched my criteria but, I WAS pleasantly surprised at how I looked in what she had selected for me so, I felt like things were turning around AND THEN… My mom commented to Julissa on how young she looked and being that I’m an esthetician, I said she must have great skin care products! She replied with something so vial about how and why she got pregnant (linking it to skin care), I can’t and won’t even repeat it in text! That was the end, I’d had enough. I thanked her for showing us what they had. She gave me her card and that is the last I will ever see of the sawgrass David’s Bridal! It really ruined the whole dress shopping experience for me.

Christine J. Was extremely helpful! I had a great experience picking out my wedding gown. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience with these ladies helping my wife with her dress
Please ask for Diane Richardson and her assistant
You will get all the attention in the world

Barbie is amazing! If I were getting married she would be the one to ask for help with the dress!
I’m a guest and needed a dress. Long and formal. Also a plus size. I told Barbie what I thought I wanted she found me a wow dress. I hate shopping Barbie made me feel so comfortable. Had me on my way with a beautiful dress. Thank you again Barbie for making my experience fun and easy!

Awesome selection and super helpful and friendly staff! Would have never imagined I would be able to go in, pick a bridesmaid dress and walk out with it in 20 minutes!

Con:
It’s not my first time being at David’s Bridal, usually there are several employers assisting their customers, but yesterday it seemed as though there was only one person helping the customers to try their dresses, which happens to be the day I did not book an appointment. Therefore this is not too much of a big deal.
Pros:
I’m an event planner, and I brought in my client to take a look at dresses yesterday. It started off with not finding anything she liked. When Barbie finally got started with us, after a bit of a wait, she turned what was boring and slow into a time of boos, oohs, and ahhs. She was patient and was able to make my client very happy with her selections. My client did ring the bell, something we were not expecting of just yet. Not only was Barbie very good with my client, she remembered me from previous visits, which I don’t recall of ever seeing her, but that’s good, that means she has very good memory and sense of detail.

It’s funny David’s Bridal was the last place I thought I’d find my, «perfect dress». I don’t know why they have such a bad reputation. I was very reluctant to go but my consultant Barbi made it worth the while and I left saying «YES TO THE DRESS».
Check them out. you never know.

We loved the dress we found for the bridesmaids, however, the staff was arguing over who would take us. We made an appointment and basically that entailed the staff to just open a fitting room for us. We could hear them in the back saying they didn’t want to help us and trying to figure out who had to. We had no help finding the sizes we needed, or the dress we were looking for. About 15 minutes after our «appointment» started a woman came up and said she would help us and instead went to help someone else. Another staff member opened the room for us and we picked the dress and left. Very disappointing. We ordered our dresses online because we didn’t want to give the staff our commision. I will never go into the store again. If we could find a similar dress at a similar price, we absolutely would’ve have our business elsewhere.

Barbie was absolutely incredible! She listened to what I was looking for, showed me new styles, stayed happy, stress free, and professional, all while keeping my family calm and informed of what was going on. I felt comfortable with her in the dressing room and never felt rushed. She truly cares about her clients and wants them to be happy. She’s amazing at her job, and I wish her all the very best in the future. I can’t wait to see her for my fitting!!!

This is going to sound so cliché, but I said «yes to the dress yesterday»! I don’t consider myself to be a traditional bride and absolutely did not think that i would be buying a wedding dress yesterday.
I didn’t have an appointment because I wanted to just look around and get an idea of what they had in stock. We were greeted «Hello»… and we responded with a «hello» back. As I continued to look around on my own, I ended up finding 1 wedding dress and a short rehearsal dress that I wanted to try on. So I went back up to the girl at the reception desk to see if I can get a room. I was immediately given ATTITUDE. She said «I asked you if you had an appointment… there’s nobody available to help you». She quickly turned me away and wasn’t going to let me try on the dresses. She then called for the store mgr to see if she can assist me.
Jody the mgr ended up coming to the desk and the girl continued with her rude tone and comments. I had 1 dress to try on and at least 3 rooms available. I was seconds from walking out because of the bad attitude of the girl at the desk when Jody said that she would help me.
Jody quickly turned the experience around. She was very helpful and attentive. She also had Julissa assisting when she had to walk away. The both of them were amazing!
I tried on 1 dress and that was it for me… if it wasn’t for Jody, I would’ve walked out because of the attitude I received from the girl at the desk.

I worked with Maryann yesterday and I loooooved her. She was on point, pushed me to try things I didn’t want to and she was 100% right. I bought a dress I would have never had tried on if it weren’t for Maryann. I felt beautiful, which doesn’t happen too often…
