Shopping for a perfectly looking outfit for a petite woman with curves, on a limited budget, is stressful enough. Add to the mix the fact that the bride-to-be hates shopping and that it is a wedding dress for a destination wedding only a month away due to change in plans, and that it has to match the groom's suit, plus absolutely no idea what to pick, as all the dresses look good on tall thin models in professional photos... All the family went to David's Bridal Mississauga - third place to visit this weekend, recommended for 'much better variety' than in a traditional boutique, and we walked out with a largely de-stressed bride-to-be with a low-budget off-the-rack dress that looked gorgeous on her, with only a hem to trim. All thanks to Maria, who, in less than an hour (we were late) managed to professionally assess the needs and wants of the future bride and what would look good and gave reasonable and helpful advice on six dresses she tried on to pick the best one. Very professional, with a sharp eye to detail, calming and friendly, we would likely not be in total agreement if she were not there for us and would have spend unreasonably more time to make a decision, time that we didn't have... In our situation it was a blessing, and in-and-out in an hour with a dress that looked great on her, we could not even dream about it - fast and efficient! Of course, there were endless hours online to browse the designs overall, pictures of outfits of other happily wed couples, and I would also recommend going through David's Bridal database, make a profile and pick and save whatever dresses you like - then it would be easier and faster to find them to try them on and find a suitable one. Of course, if you have a year before the event - you could go with your first choice, try something similar, order the dress, which might not be available in the store, it all takes time. All our 'first choice' dresses (sale-priced $300 and under, lol) were not available neither online nor in store, what we picked was her second choice, which was still great, and trying it on beat the expectations. Amazingly, what fit ranged 0 to 6 in sizes, and if not for Maria's help we would not have even thought of trying the dresses on. Must I mention that all of them were off-the-rack sale from $129 to $249 and were visibly made with high quality. Maria also brought the shoes and accessories to try with each dress to see what would be the best final look. She also advised to move around to take the pictures to mitigate the effect of store lighting, which will not be there at the event - markable difference, when actually comparing the photos. Speaking about the store itself, it was full of people on a busy weekend, but nobody interfered with each other, everybody had their own schedule and fitting area, and watching all those fancy dresses being tried around was fun. I absolutely loved some of them and if not on a tight schedule and a mission to get the bride her dress, would just come in to browse having any festive occasion in mind. Lots of large mirrors around, making it easy to see the outfits from all angles and taking pictures to compare. Comfy chairs to sit and wait. Overall, excellent experience fitting all our needs! read more

THIS COMPANY IS AWFUL! Save your money and go elseware . After they filed for Bankruptcy in Canada, another company purchased them and they no longer will honour any credit notes or gift cards. I was told back in June of 2023, that due to the bankruptcy filings, Davids bridal would no longer honour any credits they had after May of 2023. They did not contact anyone, and the only way that you would have found out about this was if you happened to go into the store and saw a very tiny note on their checkout counter. I had purchased a wedding gown in September of 2021. Within days I was not happy with my decision and decided to bring it back. Their return policy mentioned 7 days for a refund, and I had gone back within 9 days. As such, I received a credit for the full amount of $1,600. I was told this credit would NEVER expire. They did not indicate that if there was a bankruptcy this would void this credit. Over the year and a half until their bankruptcy filings, I used some of the credit to purchase a bachelorette dress, shoes, accessories, and some things for my bachelorette. I had about $1,100 left to spend. When I went in this year, in June of 2023 to grab a few items for my wedding, I was given the surprise that my credit notes were no longer valid. I was told to submit a claim to their bankruptcy agency Omni who was overseeing their claims. I was told to send in the receipts and then I would be apart of the claims process. I received an email advising my claim was submitted, but I never heard back after that. Then I recently emailed them to inquire about my claim, and this was the response I received, see below: David's Bridal, LLC filed for bankruptcy and all of its assets were purchased by a new owner during the bankruptcy. After the sale of assets and transfer of ownership, David's Bridal, Inc. was established as a new company on July 21, 2023. We are sorry to inform you that because there were no assets remaining in the former company, claims filed against David's Bridal, LLC will not be paid out. There is no longer an option to file a claim against the former company for claims prior to July 21, 2023. This includes unused gift card and merchandise credits issued prior to July 21, 2023. If you have an issue with a purchase or transaction which occurred on or after July 21, 2023, please contact David's Bridal customer service by texting HELLO to 38201 or calling 1-844-400-3222 Essentially me, along with probably thousands of people are SOL!. I took a look on reddit and I found many people in the same boat. I am SICK AND TIRED of these company's doing this. Filing for bankruptcy, dipping on customers and not providing their money back. This is disgusting behaviour and it needs to end. I saw the bad boys bankruptcy filings and how much people lost over that. I am mortified. I am an extremely hard working person, and I had the faith in this company that eventually I would be able to get my money back in the form of purchases with the company. This is not right ! Don't spend your money on these company's. They don't value their customers. read more

I had such an amazing experience here! I had gone to David's Bridal in Mississauga on a Saturday morning. They assigned me a wonderful stylist (Paige), who greeted us and showed me into a changing room. She privately asked me about my preferences and budget and then went off to find some gowns for me to try on. During the whole time, Paige was incredibly helpful, patient, professional and knowledgeable, and it was such a great experience. She even provided a corset bra and shoes so I could get a better idea of how the dress would fit. At one point my entourage was exclaiming over a dress that another girl was trying on. When I went back into the changing room to try on another gown, Paige discreetly told me the price of the other girls gown (a pretty high price) because she knew it was out of my budget, but she said it in a very gentle way so that I wasn't embarrassed, and I really appreciated her letting me know. Before buying, there were a few other stores that I wanted to check out, and I let Paige know this. She wasn't pushy at all, but let me know that they'd keep my dress preferences on file so that they could locate them easily if I decided to come back later. My bridesmaids and I trooped off to about six other stores, and what a difference! The staff at all those stores were downright rude and snobby and utterly ignored me because I didn't have an appointment at some of them (one of them, called Brides Project, even denied me access to look at the dresses! The sales girl literally stood in the doorway and blocked my path until we turned around to leave), while others were so pushy that they kept trying to persuade me to a buy dresses that I stated very clearly were not my style. Finally, I ended up going back to David's Bridal the next day. I didn't have an appointment and they were very busy. I mentioned that I wanted to try on my original favourite again, as well as one other dress. They asked if I could make an appointment and come by later in the week, but since I'm from out of town and was leaving soon, they went out of their way to accommodate me in between bookings. Two wonderful ladies named Chantelle and Lynette took care of me. Just like Paige, they were friendly, helpful, and made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone for a calm, stress-free, enjoyable experience! The fact that they also had the largest selection of dresses (with most in multiple sizes) also makes it much better than any of the boutiques I visited. read more

My bride to be friend passed away four days prior to her wedding. I was to be her maid of honour. My bridesmaid dress was unaltered and unworn. Normally, I am aware that stores can exercise their right to deny a refund or exchange; however, this is a person who passed away before her wedding... this was not a lover's spat. 1) the staff did not offer any condolences - rude and clearly didn't care that someone (the bride) died! 2) they said right away no refunds without listening or caring - I had to reiterate 3 times that the bride died 3) curt and never called back - I had to hound them just for a reply 4) in the end, the manager offered to let me exchange it for something else "to meet me halfway" 5) I arrive there and they said no credit note and I have to "hurry up and select a dress soon" 6) I wanted a credit note so I could give back the dress and no longer look at it as it is painful as the bride-to-be was my best friend. They said too bad 7) I live in Scarborough so I at least asked if I could transact in Scarborough as I the drive is far and I don't want to lug the dress around anymore - they said NO. I don't see the issue with giving me a credit note as I am keeping the funds in the David's Bridal community. Furthermore, I don't know why they wouldn't place a call on my behalf to shop at a store close to me. THE MOST UNSYMPATHETIC AWFUL ROBOT MEAN DISGUSTING PEOPLE ALL IN ONE STORE!!! To all you staff members whom I dealt with in Mississauga: You disgust me! Your practices and services disgust me! You are all such awful horrible people. I will discourage and trash this store as much as I possibly can to any social media and to anyone who will listen; I have several friends who are in relationships and at the brink of engagements. The absolute worst customer service experience I've ever had in my life. You all should be ashamed of yourselves but you're not because you have no scruples morals or values or any empathy in any of your cells. The Scarborough treatment pales in comparison. I wrote a review on that page. Awesome people in that location - contrasted drastically. David's Bridal management - please train your staff to emulate the behaviours and warmth and kindness of the workers and management at the Scarborough location. The Mississauga staff sucks and I hope they are all replaced with people who have warm blood and beating hearts. If I could rate this with ZERO stars I would have. read more

David's Bridal Mississauga was the first store I went to to try on dresses for my wedding. I heard mixed reviews but I went in with an open mind. We went in to shop for my dress and my bridesmaids. When we first walked we were welcomed and met with my consultant, Rachel C. I cannot say enough about Rachel C! She was absolutely amazing! I came in with a bit of an idea but nothing set in stone. She asked me how I envisioned my day and suggested some styles of dresses to try on first, but also allowed me to show her what I liked. We started with 3 different styles and from there we began to narrow down a style. Not only was Rachel completely open to what I wanted, I felt she really understood what I wanted and eventually found my dress! Throughout the whole appointment, she was patient, understanding, helpful and very polite! I had a lot of fun during my appointment but Rachel C made it that much more enjoyable! With her suggestions along with mine, I found Rachel really understood what I was looking for. She was never pushy. When I told her I didn't like something, she wasn't offended or rude about it. She completely understood and helpful! I never felt overwhelmed but very comfortable and relaxed and felt her suggestions were very helpful. I came in with a big group and everyone agreed with how amazing Rachel C was. She respected everyone and enjoyed meeting and talking with my bridesmaids. After looking for my dress, we began looking for my 6 bridesmaids (I gave them a colour and they were able to choose whichever dress they felt more comfortable in). Rachel was also very helpful with my girls. She suggested they choose 2-3 dresses they like and was there if they needed any help! Like myself, my girls felt very supportive and comfortable working with Rachel C. She talked to each girl, made some helpful suggestions and answered any questions they had. Overall, I cannot say enough about Rachel C. I highly recommend her to any brides or bridesmaids going in to look for their dresses. She was phenomenal and made my appointment very enjoyable. David's Bridal Mississauga is very lucky to have her! read more

David's Bridal was the first bridal store I went to, and I had an excellent experience! I was anxious at first, because I had read some bad reviews and heard of other's bad experiences, yet I gave it a try and I am so thankful I did. Antoinette was my consultant, and she was incredible. I went in having a few ideas of what I was looking for, and she asked all of the right questions to steer me in the right direction. She listened to what I was looking for. When, half way through the appointment I decided to change directions (as I wasn't happy with any of the dresses I was trying) she was so gracious and just rolled with it. In terms of David's Bridal in general, they're a great place to go if you are looking for beautiful and affordable dresses - my budget was $1000, and the dress I ended up purchasing was well below that budget, and yet it doesn't look inexpensive. This location in particular has all of their gowns on display, so as a bride you can look through the gowns without the bags getting in the way. They have multiple sample sizes for their dresses and multiple different styles. I also found my bridesmaids dresses at David's Bridal - we had another great experience with another consultant. She brought us plenty of options, listened to what we were looking for and was sensitive to what we liked and didn't like. Lastly, I came back to David's Bridal in Mississauga after having a bad experience at another location trying to find out bridesmaids dress. Alison was our consultant and she really turned our experience around. She made my bridesmaid feel much more confident and helped her to love the dress! Overall a great experience at this location. I would absolutely choose David's Bridal if I had to do it all over again. read more

I bought my Wedding dress in January 2015. It was the first dress I tried on and fell in love! The staff was friendly, supportive and efficient. I worked with Linea. She was very good with me and I did not feel pressured into making my purchase. My dress came in very soon after they ordered it (maybe a month and a half). The prices are very reasonable and they have a good selection of dresses and accessories. Lots of mirrors. It can get a bit crowded when they are busy. The reason that I would ALWAYS recommend Davids Bridal is because of the AMAZING experience that I recently had with them. A few days ago, I found out that I am expecting Twins and would be 4.5 months pregnant at my wedding! I naively hoped that I could alter the beautiful dress I bought but that was not to be as they could only let it out 1.5 inches. I was devastated because they were not able to order me a larger size either because the new dress would not come in until after my wedding!!!! David's Bridal staff helped me through this "crisis" every step of the way. The fact that they were willing to exchange my dress and help me pick a new one with advice on how to alter it for the pregnancy was so helpful. I couldn't thank them enough. My sales associate, Reena, went above and beyond my expectations for customer service and support. Not only did she stay with me after hours to try to help me find a dress that I could fit into, she also came in on her day off to help me try on a few more. The whole time she was patient, informative, fun and very stylish so I really respected her opinions. Thank you Reena and David's Bridal for a truly amazing experience! read more

I've visited this David's Bridal two times and each and every single time was a great experience. My first visit was with Telma. She was amazing, sweet and very patient. She listened to my needs and wants and came forward with very beautiful dresses. My first visit I found my wedding dress and said "yes to the dress". The dress was extremely beautiful, ornate and was not a heavy fabric at all (great for dancing). It was also a great price! To be honest I found the prices of all the dresses I tried on to be very reasonable. However, upon over analyzing it over the weekend I began to feel self conscious about my choice in dress. I'm a size 16 and I was thinking about an assortment of horrible things because my dress was strapless. I visited David's Bridal again and had the pleasure of being helped by Bindu AND Lynette. They continued to be helpful and patient with me. They understood my concerns and wanted to do nothing more than make sure I was happy with my choice. At my request they even brought me more dresses to try on even though I had already purchased my dress and were willing to come up with a solution for me. In the end I kept my original dress and decided to add cap sleeves, for added support and coverage. They made me feel beautiful, helped me realize I had picked a beautiful dress and helped me find a solution for what turned out to be a very silly insecurity. Thank you so much! I look forward to visiting for my alternations appointment once my dress comes in and to bring my bridesmaids for their dresses. Thank you again to Telma, Lynette and Bindu for a fabulous experience. read more

I had already bought a wedding dress from another store but had seen a very specific dress online that I wanted to try on and David's Bridal on Argentia was the only location that had it in my size. I tried on the dress I had gone for and then tried on a few more that were similar and then tried on THE DRESS. It was amazing as soon as I put it on and I knew I had to walk down the aisle in it. When it was time to ring my bell (note: I think this is THE BEST THING EVER and it definitely adds to the whole experience of saying yes!) Lynette Bair was the one to do the ceremony. I knew she was amazing from that first day. I have been back to the store for alterations 3 times and she is always there greeting me with a hug and a huge smile and she makes every visit AMAZING. She even came in on her day off on my very last visit when I picked up my dress from alterations. Since we had so many visits I was able to bring my mom, my aunt and my grandmother to the store. When I went with my mom we met Lindsay Black who was absolutely phenomenal. She helped my mom find her perfect Mother of the Bride dress and was honest with her opinions which is super rare to find in a saleswoman as normally you are pushed to buy something - Lindsay never pushed and always ensured that my mom was happy. As said, I then brought my aunt and my gramma who were both helped by Lindsay. I am sad that we don't have any more dresses to buy and that my dress is complete because it means I don't get to see Lynette and Lindsay once a week anymore! But I will 100% be back for every occasion after this one. THE BEST TEAM EVER!!! read more

I had a wonderful experience at this location! I purchased my wedding gown just yesterday!! I previously purchased a maid of honour dress from this location and was treated with such attention and detail, even being set up for the fitting in a bridal dressing room that I knew this would be the first place I went for my bridal gown. Telma was my bridal consultant at my first visit and I requested her for my second too. She was so attentive, kind and complimentary, she truly made me feel special. I was so reluctant to begin my gown search because of the experiences I've had with family and friends at other stores, but all my fears were quelled by Telma. She provided me with the correct shaping garments I required, as well as shoes. Also, she understood my vision for the dress, bringing me those I requested, those she chose based upon her sense of what I would like, and helping me in and out of each one! She made me feel extremely comfortable and beautiful. In addition, Telma, allowed me to try on each dress I wished and didn't pressure me to buy anything, or adhere to an appointment time limit. I also received great attention from other consultants, including Janice, the manager, and seamstresses. I loved having access to the ipad showing the store's entire collection. My mother appreciated that none of their dresses are higher than $2000 and the beautiful quality of their collection. I have already recommended this location to friends and I will continue to do so. I cannot speak highly enough for the wonderful experience I had at this David's Bridal location in Mississauga. read more

I purchased my wedding dress from another store, and decided to have my bridesmaids choose their dresses from David's Bridal. We were greeted at the Hamilton location, shown where the dresses were, and where our dressing rooms were, and then were on our own until the end. Shortly after this appointment, I decided to sell my wedding dress and look for a new one . I went to the location in Hamilton again. This time we were greeted, but waiting for a while before the stylist came around. We weren't told we were able to look around, so I didn't get to search all the dresses for myself- the stylist pulled 4 dresses for me and told me to head to the room to try them on. I left that day having seen some dresses I liked, but was not sold. I didn't have the best experience with David's Bridal Hamilton. I decided to go to Davids Bridal with my mom in Mississauga, hoping they had some more styles to try. Nancy happily greeted us, showed us where the dresses were and let me pull some dresses that I liked. While I was looking, she pulled some for me to try as well and set them up into the changing room for me. Everytime I came out of the change room Nancy was there and ready for me to come out. She got me shoes to wear while trying on dresses, as well as different belts to change up the looks of each dress. She was friendly, attentive, and everything I could have asked for when it came to choosing my dress. I left with a dress that I truly loved, and with an experience that I will be happy to remember forever! Thank you Nancy and David's Bridal Mississauga. read more

Applause. I am overwhelmed by the customer service attention we received at David's Bridal - Meadowvale. Brittany Lawer was our hands on consultant for two visits we made to the salon. Her level of professionalism and attention was greatly needed and appreciated by my girls. She dealt with each of their fitting issues and calmed their concerns. She literally restored their self confidence with her positive approach. She gave us the right amount of time alone to ponder our choices mixed with hands on attention. I found that she quietly listened to what the concerns were and would then return with another choice. Nothing was a problem for her. Let me say that everyone from the front door to the front desk was warm and welcoming. The selections are abundant, sizes of every style to try, colour options to at least try up to your palette or slip on and have pinned into place. Brides, maids and mom's can get a clear idea of how the final product will look - and in some cases find the exact size/colour you want. My sweet flower girl had her princess moment and tried on a few styles. Brittany was so helpful with information on measurements for other sizes - and important factor with a growing girl months before the wedding. I discovered that there are many styles of dresses - short and long, that will work for other events I will be attending. The bonus is you can wander around the web to pre-shop for dresses, shoes, accessories. Thank you Brittany for your help and attention. read more

We had an amazing experience at the David's Bridal Argentia. Appointments were on time, and there were a few chairs set up for those with the bride. My "stylist" Telma, asked me my style, colour and budget preferences. She brought about 4 dresses, two were a little over the budget but not by much. She was really kind and didn't rush us at all. It was perfectly ok to go and try the same dress on a few times. After I had found the dress I loved, she even brought me a few extra just to make sure that it was really the one. When I decided, she was able to show us a veil that went beautifully and again, didn't pressure us into getting it then and there. Then the alterations department came straight away to set up an appointment and the manager Lynette came over to congratulate me and to do a bell ceremony. While it wasn't something that I really wanted to do, my mother was insistent. Lynette was very patient (as there were some tears) and explained why they do it. A cute tradition at the store in my opinion. We were taken to the front desk with all of the information and when we asked about accessories, they took us over, explained that we did not have to purchase anything right now, and that it is never a bad idea to look elsewhere to make sure that you are most comfortable on the big day. We will be going back to look at Bridesmaid dresses as it was a such a great experience! read more

I had such a great experience at David's bridal! My stylist was Laura G and she was amazing. My first appointment was my first time trying on dresses, and I wanted to try on a few different styles to find out what I liked best. I showed Laura a couple of different options I had seen online and she also made a few suggestions. I didn't want anything super traditional and she was able to find some good options. Laura was so patient and kind and made me feel super comfortable! I did not feel rushed or pressured at all. I ended up falling in love with the very first dress I tried but there were other dresses I also liked and because it was my first time I felt a little over whelmed. Laura could see I wasn't sure and told me to go home look at some of the pictures we had taken and then make a decision. After a couple of weeks and one horrible visit to another shop, I couldn't get my dress out of my head. I called in and made another appointment and requested Laura. I brought my god mother to the second appointment and since she has no daughters I asked Laura to pull a few options so she could have the full experience, again she as super helpful pulled great options. I would 100% recommend checking out David's bridal, they have a lot of good options at reasonable prices. Thank you again Laura! read more

I got MY DRESS!!! I was here yesterday with my future sister in law. As we walked into the store Taylor welcomed us with bright smile that made me feel very welcoming. And then one of the stylists came and she said she would help me with my wedding gown. But the way she talks and her attitude were cold that almost made me wanted to leave the store right away. But I came here all the way from Richmond Hill in the rain. So I decided to just try different sizes in the store and then just order online without the stylist's help. While I was putting the first dress another stylist came and asked me if she can help. Her name is Karla. She was really warm and made me really comfortable and also made me actually feel I am a happy bridal. And when i said I would like to try another one after the first dress, she grabbed one and that was my dress! She found exactly what I wanted and I would love. I even didn't try other dresses at all, and I bought my dress on my first visit! Lynette, the store manager, she helped me with my order and my questions. She gave me her professional opinions and that was really helpful for my order. I also was worry about the time frame but that also she made me to trust her for my dress and not to be worried. I would like to say big thanks to Taylor, Karla and Lynette! read more

I was there this past weekend with my sister-in-law to be, the two Moms and the bridal party. Walking into this store you immediately felt overwhelmed by racks and racks of dresses. I thought to myself, how the heck are we going to find anything, there is way too much selection. Well, I'm glad to say I was very wrong! Brittany L. was our stylist, she was absolutely amazing!! She took the bride-to-be and they came back with four potential bridesmaid dresses to try based on the style that the bride wanted for her wedding party. Amazingly enough, the first one that we all tried on ended up being the winner and we ordered that same day! Next, the bride, Brittany was awesome, once the bride gave her some ideas of what she was looking for she tried on a few and with each dress Brittany was taking mental notes as to what the bride was liking and what she wasn't. She also took the brides Mom out to help and presto, "The Dress" was found and purchased! It was a great day all around, with the ringing of the bell once the bride said "Yes to the dress". Brittany went above and beyond for the wedding party and never stopped the whole time, running around grabbing sizes, clipping us in, and just being supportive. We could not have asked for a better stylist. Great job Brittany! read more

After visiting 5 different bridal stores in Toronto in search of an appropriate and flattering mother of the groom dress, I went to David's Bridal. I didn't realize an appointment was recommended. Luckily for me, I was able to wait and used the time to look and select dresses I thought might be suitable. Within one half hour a consultant named Nancy came to meet me. Nancy was very enthusiastic, personable and helpful in finding the right dress. While I was trying on dresses another consultant, Brittany noticed me trying on dresses and suggested a dress that I might like. Nancy brought the dress, I tried it on and it was perfect for my son's wedding. Nancy took extra care to help select the appropriate shoes and accessories to compliment the dress. My outfit looked classic and sophisticated. I left with the dress only. The next day I went back to David's Bridal to purchase the purse and shoes that complimented the dress. Nancy was off, so Brittany helped with ensuring I had exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend David's Bridal for their selection of dresses and for their very helpful and enthusiastic staff. Nancy and Brittany made my shopping experience most enjoyable and stress free. Both ladies are excellent in providing customer service. Thank you ladies. read more

I had a great experience with stylist Liliana on October 2. She was patient, didn't mind that I had brought my mom, mother-in-law to be, and my bridal party with me, and was so obliging working with everyone's different opinions and requests. She wasn't pushy, and didn't make us feel rushed when we went over our allotted appointment time. I would give 5 stars, but the dressing rooms are quite small, and there don't seem to be enough seats (if we hadn't been a later appointment, I'm not sure there would have been space for everyone!). I ended up getting my wedding dress, which is even better! Edit: i am now making this a 5 star review, as we just went on Sunday to look for bridesmaids dresses and had a wonderful experience. We had tried another bridal shop first that was closer to us, but were horrified by the store and left. We didn't want to waste the day, so we thought we'd drive to David's and just look at dresses (we didn't have an appointment on a Sunday - we thought it was hopeless!). Somehow, the amazing and friendly people at David's squeezed us in, and my bridesmaids found (beautiful, reasonably priced and perfect) dresses. Truc was our associate for the day, and she was very helpful and fun to work with. Thanks, David's, for saving the day! read more

I was 20 days away from my wedding when I walked into David's Bridal. I was on a budget and super time constricted as I was between coming off of work on a Saturday evening and my Bachelorette party was that same night. I didn't do much dress shopping before I went there and I was reluctant to go to a 'Bridal Store' thinking that it was going to be super expensive. I went with my mom only and we started picking dresses off the racks when someone approached us and set us up with an appointment for an associate. Our associates name was Strelka and she was A-MaZinG. She had me set up with the dress, the shoes, the accessories on budget (because I'm really cheap) and ON TIME. I was in and out with Wedding outfit done from head to toe in about an hour. She was knowledgeable and knew how to complete the dress which saved me a lot of time because I did not need to try on a whole bunch of stuff. Only the pieces that she knew would work. Saving time, money, and unneccessary headaches is definately a bonus with all the other wedding stuff to do, so if you're like me then you would appreciate shopping here and with Strelka on your side. I have no negatives. It was literally as good as it gets for me. read more
