The return period is way too short and never clear enough. A week to decide a special occasion dress is a yay or a nay is too quick. Some people need to contact family members to help make important d... See more

Absolute joke

I ordered a pair of shoes, and the quality was so poor I thought I would get hurt if I wore them for my daughter's wedding. When I returned them, I got a refund that was half of what I paid. I expected to pay the return shipping, but I was hit with a restocking fee that was not mentioned anywhere. So, I received a refund of $12.96. The joke was on me because they got the merchandise back and can resell the shoes that I think cost about $12 to manufacture. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless you want to throw away money.

Extremely Poor CS. I still can’t believe it

I still can’t believe it! On 8/30/2023 around 1:00pm we visited David’s Bridal. From the time we entered the Wilmington, NC store until we left we were never greeted. acknowledged or assisted. I helped my granddaughter pick out and try on 6-7 dresses. Zero help from anyone! We were the only customers in the store at the time. The young lady stayed sitting at the front desk. As we were leaving we stopped to look at dress displayed right behind the desk and still no engagement from store employee. We left and went to a bridal boutique near by and had an amazingly positive, happy experience and purchased a dress (as it should be).
Not sure how Davis’s Bridal is staying in business with this lack of customer service!

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE

Good morning

I would like to bring to your attention the fact that i picked my wedding dress from David’s Bridal at Watford on 21st January.

I had pre-booked my wedding alterations for 19th July after picking up my dress in March sometime.

The fact that the store was closing down was not mentioned to me at all between March and my alterations fitting in July is seriously astonishing! I had called and called and at the time, on 19th July 2023, google had shown that the store was OPEN so I made my way to Watford which was over an hour away and had booked the day off work knowing this was a big day and made my two friends come along with me for support.

When I had gotten to David’s Bridal, I was shocked to say the least that the store had a sign indicating that the store was in fact permanently closed! No one called me or emailed me to inform me of this so it would have saved me time, money and effort whilst I could have found someone else to alter my dress for my wedding in September!

The note on the wall stated that I must contact Stratford store - which I did and they had asked me to attend which was over an hour from Watford (I live near Stratford) so I had to go all the way back.

Upon speaking with someone at the stratford store in London, they had asked me to attend however did not mention that the alterations section was not taking any further bookings and they were also closing down!! I was in shock and traumatised to say the least.

I had a dress and a veil from David’s Bridal and yet no one to alter my dress!
I spent £400 on my dress and £400 on my veil and now I have very little time to find someone who can alter it as I have lost weight and May now need a new dress!

I would like to express my feelings as this has really left me appalled and disappointed in David’s Bridal.

I would like this complaint to be acknowledged and the least that could be offered is a full refund on my dress and veil so I can then purchase a dress suitable for me which is already in a suitable size for me.

Thank you.

Great service

Accidentally found myself in the David's Bridal shop in Birmingham, Vaishali and Karen were so helpful and friendly. I hadn't planned on getting my dress that day and was short on time but they were so accommodating. Such a positive experience and I absolutely love my dress.

Horrible customer service, bad return policy.

We were completely ignored the whole time we were there. Found a dress, was trying it on and my friend was harassed while her 6 yr old was in bathroom. She was surrounded and had to rush out while the employees did NOTHING. There was blatant racism during this so I grabbed the dress, paid and left after her. They never said I had 7 days to return. When I realized that I didn’t like it, it took me two weeks to be able to bring myself back the store. They would not accept a return, or give a gift card. The rude manager told me I could shop now and that’s all she could do. When I spoke about the day of purchase, she said I should have come to her (she wasn’t even working that night). The customer service is horrible.

Prom shoes

Excellent service from Amy at David’s bridal Watford. Amy went above and beyond to help us with a particular issue with a pair of shoes we wanted to purchase and showed great initiative. Thank you Amy, you made our day.

Debbie

my stylist, Debbie, was genuinely interested in helping me find something off the rack that would suit my particular tastes and budget. I am a 70 year old first time Mother of the bride and I want to look nice for my daughter. Debbie found two nice outfits that I tried on. I chose one I felt most comfortable in although both were lovely. Thank you Debbie for your help. Much appreciated.

Princess for the day

I was helped to find my dream wedding dress in David’s Bridal Birmingham, and I cannot recommend it enough. The shop itself is overwhelming in the sense that it has everything you could ever want as a bride to be. They cover everything from the dress to veils, shoes, hair accessories, pyjamas, tiaras and bridesmaid dresses.
I cannot overstate how beautiful the wedding dresses are in the store and how many stunning style there are. I had a style advisor called Vaishali who was fantastic at her job. She made me feel completely at ease and nothing was too much trouble. She went out of her way to establish my style and was able to absolutely smash it out of the park with the accessories she brought for me to try on with the dresses. She involved me with every part of the process. She explained the pros and cons of the dresses I was looking at and gave me invaluable advice. I feel so lucky that I was able to spend the day with her as she made it all feel so effortless. However, all of the staff were amazing and accommodating and made me feel like I was with a friend. They make choosing your wedding dress a very special experience.

David’s Bridal online is HORRIBLE

My goal was to buy a prom dress, and that I did, with great difficulty. I went to my local David’s Bridal to try on some dresses a few months ago, and they were wonderful! They just didn’t have the size I needed, so I turned to David’s Bridal online. I had a Visa gift card for a certain amount of money, and I was going to pay the rest with my card. The rest ended up only being $6, and David’s Bridal online doesn’t let you use two different cards, for some weird reason. The catch was that I couldn’t get to my local shop to pay in-person because I don’t have a car. I tried everything to be able to pay for this dress- tried to see if I could put more money on my gift card, I asked if there was any more deals I could add on to drop the price down just six more dollars, called my local shop to see if I could give the cards over the phone, I even asked if my sister could come in to pay (because it was an online gift card that I could just send to her, she lives near that David’s Bridal, and she could just pay the extra $6 on her card) but they said no to all of it. I was baffled- I am a paying customer, and they wanted to make this extremely difficult for me. Anyways, my work around was getting that gift card mailed to me as an actual card that I could use for other expenses, and just used my money to pay for the dress after my next paycheck. So my next paycheck comes, I buy the dress (which came very fast!) but I go out onto my porch, and the dress was in a plastic David’s Bridal bag, A PLASTIC BAG and it had a bunch of rips in both layers of the plastic. Why would such an expensive dress come in such terrible packaging? Luckily the dress wasn’t ruined, but I took pictures just in case it was. And here’s the icing on the cake: they sent me the wrong size that they said was out of stock. I ordered an 8, they sent me a 10. Luckily, it ended up fitting perfectly, and I looked absolutely gorgeous! Until David’s Bridal online has a way to pay with more cards and has better packaging for such expensive merchandise, I will not be ordering from them again. I’m a very nice, happy person, and hate having to write reviews like this, but there was just too much that went wrong for me not to share.

Julie at David's Bridal in Braehead…

Julie at David's Bridal in Braehead Glasgow was amazing. We could not have had a better experience and nothing was too much trouble for her. We were not rushed and she even got the seamstress out on two occasions to give us advice. We found the perfect dress and can't thank Julie enough. Would definitely recommend David's Bridal Braehead.

trust them!

I just came from a different horrific experience ordering bridesmaids' dresses from a different website. I figured I would leave a positive review. David's bridal shipped my dress in a weeks time and it was perfect. loved my dress and the quality was worth it.

A big shout out to Tuhina a

A big shout out to Tuhina at David’s Bridal At Birmingham. She was absolute ⭐️ Nothing was too much for her. She genuinely wanted to help us find a perfect prom dress for my daughter. It was close to 6 n time for her to be off, but still she stayed back n helped my daughter try out dresses and even brought heels for us to gauge the correct length. An asset to the team.
