David’s Bridal

I was there last Saturday to dress shop and my consultant was Jean Voss. She made my whole experience a memorable one. From the advice she offered to the words of wisdom she spoke when I made my final decision on a dress. She not only found the dresses that I had picked out from the website she offered a few other options and I ended up choosing one of her picks as it was absolutely beautiful and looked amazing on me. So if you are looking at David’s Bridal make an appointment with Jean you won’t be disappointed. Looking forward to going back for the bridesmaid dresses.

I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding. She went with David’s Bridal because she lives in a small town, and so must of her wedding party so she went with a chain to make life easier on people. She gave me the color and the pin number. I went to the store, gave the women my friend’s name, pulled up the info and it matched mine.
A saleswoman went to the floor with me to find the dress. They didn’t have the exact color but they did have the dress in a different color. I tried in on, it fit perfect as is. The saleswoman didn’t push for alterations. She pulled on the straps a bit and had me twirl, she agreed that I should straight order the size 4. Filled out the paperwork, paid the money. Came back when they said it would be in. It was in way earlier actually. Tried it on, no problems. Left the store, and moved on with my life.
Again I didn’t need alterations so my experience was totally fine. I felt the dress was overpriced for the quality but its a national chain you’re paying for the convenience. I gave it away for one of those high school prom dress donation businesses.
The other women in the bridal party had shoes dyed to match the dress. Everyone is the bridal party showed up with different colored shoes, and none of them matched the dress. I’m assuming its some kind of formula for dying, and apparently no one at david’s knows what it is. Of course their stores made them pay for it anyway even though they couldn’t fix it, but those were different stores than this one in Hamburg.
Overall: I wouldn’t recommend getting alterations or shoes done at a David’s. Otherwise you’ll be fine!

I hate, hate, hate David’s Bridal.
I’ve been there several times for bridesmaid’s dresses, and each time, the staff seems rushed and and act as though the customer is a nuisance. I had my dress altered recently, and while the seamstress wasn’t rude, she didn’t go out of her way to be friendly either. Conversation with her was non-​existent.
And the quality of dresses is poor for what you pay. I spilled a drop of water on mine once… and it left a water mark!

Ok, so I have to amend my last complaint. There was a personnel shift in between the times I was at the store, and it was a completely different experience the second time I was there. The staff was absolutely amazing, and I didn’t even buy an expensive dress.
The woman who helped me around the second time helped me with every single thing I could have thought to ask for. The alteration seamstress was upfront and honest about sizing and what she could and could not do.
The manager even helped out with finding me a dress size that fit (which is a whole ‘nother rant, letmetellyou. I’m a size 12 in wedding dresses but…6 in NYC. Wtf.) and made sure that I got the dress I wanted before the sale ended so I could get the price.
On the whole, helpful and pleasant. Just, watch out for the couple ladies that work at night that could care less about your experience.
