Demetrios Bride

I had a great experience here. Their seamstress Nazzi is fantastic. She really made my dress one of a kind. And her work is excellent!

My bridesmaids went with me (the bride) to try on dresses in October of 2015 for my May 26^th wedding that just passed. At this time, we found a Bill Levkoff dress for all the girls and one of my bridesmaids placed her order/​paid for her dress right then. Apparently there was miscommunication about how many bridesmaids would be purchasing the dress from them, possibly on my part which I take responsibility for. Only one of my bridesmaids was going to order from Demetrios, and it was the girl who paid for her dress in October. They contacted her at the end of November to tell her that her dress had not been ordered since they were waiting on the other bridesmaids to call in their info, to which she said her dress was the only one being ordered from them. They said they placed the official order then, and her dress was scheduled to arrive in March.
In March, within the order window, my bridesmaid called to get an update on the dress. It hadn’t shipped from the manufacturer, and they’d update her at a later date. She called again in April and was told the dress still hadn’t shipped. As we got further into April, she continued to call on a regular basis to speak to a manager about the whereabouts of the dress, and she was not called back on several occasions when she was told she would be. She was also told several times that the problem was at the designer/​manufacturer level, even though EVERY SINGLE OTHER bridesmaid received her dress from different sources. When May rolled around, we were finally communicated with, and her dress was to arrive two weeks and two days before my wedding date. The dress didn’t arrive on this day, but came two days later, forcing my bridesmaid to go in for her alterations one day before she had to leave for vacation to NY. Due to the EXTREME amount of stress this caused us, they comped her alterations. That’s where the one star is given.
All in all, the lack of communication and follow-​through from this company, paired with the fact that several excuses were given rather than someone accepting responsibility for why the dress was ordered in November but couldn’t arrive until May, are extremely disappointing. I’m sure this isn’t the norm for this company, but you would think that they would have taken this situation more seriously. Maybe future brides/​bridesmaids would have better luck than we had, but I wouldn’t risk it if I was you.

I absolutely loved my dress from Demetrios and the consultants were helpful. They were also very respectful of my budget which I didn’t experience elsewhere, but! WOW it took forever for my dress to come in. Thank goodness I purchased my most perfect gown in August and my wedding wasn’t until April because it didn’t arrive until late February. I barely had enough time to get it altered! (By the way, their alteration quote was outrageous, I hear they have amazing seamstresses, but I couldn’t stomach the price!) Also, I purchased a veil from them in Feb, got an amazing deal, but it didn’t arrive until 3 days before we left for my wedding. Talk about anxiety! So just a heads up on that. Otherwise I had a very special experience, just leave yourself enough time. OH! and bring your own cups for your champagne, we weren’t able to toast because we weren’t told to do so!

I visited the store today for my final fitting and Nazzi was amazing! Her work is impeccable and she is a real perfectionist. I was worried about the neckline of my dress being to low and Nazzi created a beautiful new lace neckline that is perfect. She was so patient listening to all my concerns, thanks so much!

I got my wedding gown at the Demetrios Bride in Michigan. The reason why I am writing this review because I want to compliment its professionalism and its customer service. Even though i got my bridal show from the Demetrios in Michigan, they were willing to steam my wedding gown for me at free of charge as I had my wedding in California. I was amazed on how nice this bridal shop is when I first walked in. it has a great selection of wedding gowns. and there are stages with so many mirror around the stages… I would totally feel like a celebrity or one of bride at «say yes to the dress» TV show… this bridal shop is so nice!

We purchased our Maid of Honor dresses in January. At this time we were told that we had to pay a rush fee of $ 50 but there was no problem having them in plenty of time for my May wedding. We were given a delivery date of the first week in April. We called numerous times and were told in a very cold manner that they had no information and to keep waiting. There was absolutely no follow up on any of my calls, even when I was promised one by the manager. We finally received the dresses 10 days before the wedding with almost no time for alterations. When I requested the $ 50 rush fee be refunded I was told that since the dresses arrived before the wedding they could not offer a credit for the rush fee. A wedding day is supposed to be one of the most important days of your life. Demetriios Bride has made this a very stressful experience and I would not recommend using them

I’ve been to Spectrum hundreds of times but just recently discovered this place. I’ve already been married for a year, but a friend of mine just got engaged and was looking for a dress.
We called on a Saturday morning and were able to get an appt for 1pm. Sweet! The girls here are so nice and very professional. They have a large selection of dresses. The off the rack section is VERY extensive, and they also have a lot in their catalogue and from their quick order section if you’re a last minute gal. Although my friend didn’t end up liking any of their dresses, I still had a great experience here with the staff. They have a lot of dresses with long trains, very nice ball gowns, and I would say a lot of their dresses have a magical and royal look. They have less flowy simple dresses which was what my friend was looking for. The majority of their dresses seemed to run about 1.5K — 5K.
Would definitely recommend for anyone within this budget looking for a pleasant wedding dress shopping experience!

Tried on dresses today and I was so happy! I ended up getting two dresses, a veil, a crown, and another headpiece. Prices were amazing. I was expecting to pay 10k a dress but got everything for that price. The girls were so patient with me and trying on almost every dress. They made this so easy for me. I will definitely recommend them to all my Friends!

I recently purchased my wedding gown at Demetrio’s in Irvine and it was a wonderful experience. The store is big but not overwhelming and they have a great selection. They have many different styles and price ranges to fit everyone budget. I was trying to find a dress under $ 1000 and I had plenty to choose from. Minette was my stylist and she was very friendly, knowledgable and made the experience just as amazing as I had imagined. They do not overcrowd this salon or pressure you with add ons or push you to a dress you can not afford. Minette listed to everything I wanted and I would definitely recommend any friend to check out this store to anyone looking for a wedding gown or a bridesmaid dress.

Let me just say this is a wonderful place! I had such a wonderful consultant, her name was Iman. I went here as my first appointment not really interested in finding my dress here but as fate would have it I found the one! When I arrived Iman picked out a few dresses for me after finding out my style. I then let my family and friends pick out a few dresses which may have not been the best choice because we had at least 20 dresses to try on so we narrowed it down to about 7 and I loved every single one. If you are going to go here please ask for Iman and enjoy your experience!

I felt very brushed off. When I described my dream dress and budget, I was told they didn’t really carry that style but they could try to gather a few. The woman helping me, who turned out to be the assistant manager, grew impatient quickly and informed me that I should look at another shop that was clearly beyond my budget. To really put the nail in the coffin, my mother requested some water towards the end of our appointment and this woman told us that we couldn’t have any, that this was a weekday and they only offered drinks on weekends. Really? Just ridiculous. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

My best friend (the bride) and I were dress shopping and found Demetrios on Unilocal.I called them immediately and they were able to fit us in for an appointment the same day. When you walk in, they ask you what types of styles you want and if you have a price range. Then they point you to the exact area with all your options so you can browse around. While you’re browsing, they also go to the back to check for extra designs that fit your price range and style. That’s exactly what Minette did for us. She was truly spectacular and I could tell she really wanted to help the bride find the exact dress she wanted for the right price. They also have a selection of veils that come in a variety of designs and prices. Upon trying on each dress, the bride comes out into the main area for all the guests to see. They also have tissues in case you get overwhelmed with pride and emotions.
They also have a selection of bridesmaids dresses as well that come in variety of shades and designs. We didn’t have enough time allotted in our appointment to try on any bridesmaid dresses so we plan to come back another time for that. Minette offered the best service and really paid attention to exactly what we were looking for. Parking can be tough on the weekends so make sure to plan for that!

Nazee did an absolutely beautiful job altering my dress to fit me perfectly! She is very thorough and incredibly kind aiming to please you on your important day! I would highly recommend getting your dress from Demetrios as well as doing in house alterations through Nazee! Thank you Nazee! I added some pictures from the day so you can see your beautiful work Nazee — it was a perfect day, thanks to Nazee, Kiki, and the entire staff for all the help and love!

I did not end up buying a dress here, so my rating is only based on my trying on experience.
I had Shannon as my consultant and she was very patient and sweet to me. I had no idea what I wanted, and the whole idea of even trying on dresses was kinda a strange concept for me since it was my first time. Shannon deserves all the credit in making me comfortable. I cannot stress enough how kind, personable, and patient she was with me. I really wish I had found the dress here because she deserves it. I will recommend her to any friends that may get engaged in the future. I hope Shannon is recognized for her outstanding service.

This review is seriously. seriously overdue. My wedding was about 2 years ago, but I was just reminded if this place since I began a new job at the spectrum.
My experience here was wonderful. My consultant was so sweet and helpful. She really tried her best to find me something that I loved. All of the other girls working there were suoer nice and did not hesitate to flatter me! I really felt special.
I had shopped at many boutiques and was so happy to finally find my dress here. My consultant gave me options and stayed well under my budget. I was able to make changes to a certain dress.
I didn’t have my aha moment, I’ve found that I’m not a terribly emotional person when it comes to these kinds of things. I mean more towards awkwardness. So I really didn’t know when I had found my DRESS because I didn’t have that moment that so many women talk about. But my consultant helped me in having a vision for my wedding and when they put the veil on and gave me that bouquet I knew it was meant to be.
My dress came in on time and the alterations were perfect. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is because my bridesmaid dresses were a bit of a disaster. They came very late and none of them fit! They were actually all too tight. I don’t know of this is because my ladies gained weight or if they got the measurements wrong but it seems a little weird that 4 girls would be able to fit into their dresses.
Anyways overall I am happy with this place and I do recommend them.

I had such an amazing experience with Demetrios!
Over my several visits, I had multiple women help me find my perfect dress; they were so patient, and kind. I never felt rushed and truly appreciated their honest feedback. They were there when I needed them and stepped aside when appropriate.
As for alterations… Nazzi is amazing! She really knows her stuff! She made it better than I could ever have imagined. It may have taken an extra fitting to get it right, but in my opinion, she can take as many as she wants. I appreciated the fact that she wanted to keep it longer and make more adjustments, so that it truly fit perfectly!
Thank you Demetrios Staff!!!

It’s September now, two months have passed since my wedding and I’m still so happy for the decision I made buying my dress!
This review is about my experience with the fittings and alterations.
Since I received my dress 4 weeks before my wedding I couldn’t find anywhere else to have my alterations and I honestly didn’t want to even look since I was so worried I might not have it on time so I decided to have alterations done here at Demetrios.
Nazzi is the lady in charge of alterations and I must say that my experience with here was awesome!
On my first fitting, I honestly didn’t see anything wrong with my dress other than the straps were a little loose and that I wanted it puffier but once Nazzi took a look she let me know all that could be fixed
— the straps were too lose
— dress was too long
— the waist was way too big for me
— everything could be tighten up to fit my body shape
So she showed everything that could be fixed and once I saw it I was even happier! I mean for me my dress look perfectly fine at the first fitting so when I saw what Nazzi could do I was even more excited to see the final results.
She began explaining what she was gonna do, the charges for it and how long it would take, I agree and S
she started to pin all the excess fabric from my dress and cut some of it, I had a little panic attack hahaha but it was Ok, it had to be done. She took more measurements. The final fitting was just 4 days before my trip to Mexico (where I was gonna get married) so I freaked out a little but honestly I had no option, I was less than a month away from my wedding.
Two more fittings were needed for my dress but every fitting was more awesome than the previous one, I could see all the different details that were altered and started to look even more perfect! Once I had my final fitting I took my bouquet and my veil with me so that I could see the final result and I remember I saw this little piece from straps of my wedding dress laying on a table and Nazzi told she could sew it in my bouquet so that I could keep it and she even offered to do it which I found very kind of her! She did it in less than 10 min and wow! It made such a huge difference I loved it!
I tried on my wedding dress for the last time and oh my! It was just perfect!!! I couldn’t imagine something more beautiful it was such a magical moment! :)
Overall my experience with Demetrios was amazing
Great customer service, so many dresses! Alterations were done on time and in such a short period of time.
I recommend this to every bride looking for a unique dress and amazing experience :)

Kiki, Diane, & Nazzi were AMAZING! I just got married August 15, few weeks ago actually. & I was more than happy with my dress. It needed some alterations to fit me nice & tight on my curves and Nazzi made sure to make my dream dress fit me well! I was so HAPPY! They are a little pricey but SOO SOO WORTH IT! If I could give them 10 stars i would, I was overly pleased, thank you thank you so much!

My wedding gown came home with me today. It fit like a glove, the finished product was absolutely beautiful! Thanks again to Kiki and Nazi for working so hard to turn my vision into reality. I can’t wait to walk down the aisle in my beautiful Demetrios gown.
Wedding dress shopping and altering was a fun, sometimes stressful but a cherished once in a lifetime experience.
Brides go in there with a price point, an idea of what you want and with plenty of time to choose and buy your gown. Leave at least 3 months for alterations and communicate your needs and expectations clearly! Kiki won’t let you walk out of that store unless you’re a satisfied bride to be and I am. Great overall experience!

Demetrios was one of the first bridal shops I tried on dresses at. Brandi was super patient and they were able to take walk-​ins without an appointment on a weekend. Their
show room is very large and they let you try on an unlimited number of dresses!
I scheduled another appointment a few months later to revisit dresses that I previously liked, but nothing screamed that it is the one.
I was very close to getting a style that I wasn’t normally fond of, but had a change of heart when we visited one more bridal shop.
One thing that made me hesitant about purchasing at Demetrios was that you have to pay for the dress in full during a promotion trunk show.
