The girl who helped me did not show me how to bustle my dress, so when it came time for the wedding we had no clue how to bring my dress's train up for the reception. The girl who helped me didn't seem like she knew what she was doing at all. She told me I could get sleeves on my dress, but none of the tailors that I went to were able to do what she said was possible...so I bought extra fabric for no reason. Way too expensive and not worth it at all. Everyone should buy used wedding dresses.

Called on a Monday to…read moreinquire about services and asked if a certain date was available (over 2 months away) and was directed to book appointment online and date was available. Went online to book, and couldn't book VIP service online because it requires calling in. So...called in to book vip appointment and was told to email someone which I did right then. Tuesday rolls around and no response to email. Called and was told that only one person handling VIP appointments and she is off on Tuesday (not sure why she didn't respond to email on Monday.). Anyway, on Wednesday she responded to say appointment date and time wasn't available. I called to express my disappointment and everyone was very kind. However, they did say that even though they said date was available they can't see VIP calendar. That needs to be addressed.

I had pretty low expectations as I've always considered David's Bridal to be like the fast…read morefood/Walmart of dress shops and their reviews aren't so hot. Also, being plus sized (women's size 22), I was cautiously optimistic that they would have anything remotely cute in store that actually fit me. This may be pretty long, but I'll start at the beginning. Or maybe even before the beginning. I had invited my best friend, my mother, and my teenage step-daughter to-be for my appointment. When they called the day before to confirm, they said they could only welcome a party of 3 including the bride. Naturally, I started crying. Who could I possibly dis-invite?!? My future husband (sweetheart that he is) called the store to ask if we could get an exception and they granted our request. They didn't have to. And I felt like a Karen. But first wedding planning crisis averted by David's Bridal and staff! They had requested that I pick a few favorites from their website to get an idea of what I had in mind. We walked in and were greeted with a compliment and then met our stylist, Haydee. I mentioned my size concern and she quickly assured me that she had pulled several of my favorites in my size though she did want to clarify my budget since I had indicated my budget was "under $200" but had favorited dresses up to $900, so naturally that was confusing. Haydee showed me what she had pulled and we started. Then my mom said she might like to see me in a color other than white/ivory, so Haydee grabbed a champagne colored gown and a pale pink in my style for me to try on, adjusting her picks based on what I did/didn't like about the previous gowns. Honestly, I expected to walk out having a better idea of what I liked, but I walked out with three budget friendly favorites in my size to choose from. It really couldn't have gone any better.

My SIL was with me and did a much better job at asking what I liked and didn't like. The consultant didn't try to sell a thing. I did end up finding a dress I really liked and purchased it. I went today to pick up my dress and it was like picking up a darn grocery order. Gail greeted me and my partner and grabbed my dress without asking if I wanted to try it on or take it out of the bag or anything. I asked to try it on and she gave me a fitting room and walked away. She said I could purchase a garment bad up front. For a $1000 purchase, she could have at least pretended to care a little. There's a reason that David's bridal is considered the Walmart of wedding dress stores.

The shop is absolutely adorable, with the right amount of variety to find something perfect without feeling overwhelmed or feel like a factory. You can tell the dresses and designers are carefully selected. Beyond the stunning, quality dresses, the service is what will stay with me. Amy was so thoughtful in her approach, asking the right questions and creating a comfortable, focused experience for me and my mom. She was kind, patient, and genuinely supportive, even as I navigated all the emotions and anxieties that come with throwing a wedding - to put it lightly :) I live in San Francisco, and after trying several shops there, I'm 100% confident about purchasing my dress at Wedding Belles. They are truly a calm and fun stop in the craziness that is wedding planning. Highly recommend!

The owner met me at arrival to my first fitting and could not have been more warm and welcoming. My seamstress Estrella was FANTASTIC. I am one of those brides who took forever to pick her dress, and I didn't love it going into my alterations. I bought my dress out of state, and was really worried about taking it to a "random" alteration studio. Now, it feels like it was made for me. Estrella was tireless in her attention to detail and getting the bust just right. These gals are fantastic and made me feel so special from my first visit to my last! I also felt the pricing was commensurate with the service. I won't have the chance to wear my dress for a while due to the coronavirus pandemic, so if any additional alterations are needed in a year or two, I know just where I'm heading.

The owner and the salesperson are probably two of the worst people I've dealt with in retail. They sold my mother a broken shoe, did not say it was clearance, but instead claimed it was a $100 shoe and was being given a discount. When I looked at the shoe closely, it was broken but was altered so that we would not know until it was tried on. So, of course, I stopped at the store to see what they could do. I was told that they would not be able to help. Not only that, my mother purchased a dress from them for my destination wedding. The owner told my mom it would be ready today. It was not. So, I said I no longer want to do business here and requested to pick up the unaltered dress and bring it somewhere else. She told me she did not have it. I reminded her about my wedding being destination but she started to point her finger in my face. Me, already upset about the shoe, told her to get her finger out of my face. My mom being the calm one, rushed me out before things escalated further. We left with no dress and no refund on the damaged shoe but on the way out, she said "I've dealt with people like you before, it's ok." I'm so happy that there are organizations like the Better Business Bureau. Two words: shop elsewhere.
