I truly feel like I hit the jackpot being paired with Gisella at David's Bridal in Brea. I had already visited multiple bridal stores, and I decided to try David's Bridal because I heard they had beautiful, affordable options. From the moment I met Gisella, I knew I was in the right hands. I explained the vision I had for my wedding dress--what I was picturing myself in, the vibe, the details I loved--and she immediately understood. She pulled about four dresses for me, and the order she chose for me to try them on was exactly right. You can tell she's a true expert. The way she explained each dress--the fabric, the structure, the color, the details, and even what might or might not suit my body--was so thoughtful and so knowledgeable. I felt completely guided and supported, never pressured. And then, at the very end, she brought out the dress. The one that was everything I was looking for and so much more. It fit my budget perfectly, it fit my vision perfectly, and looking back now, I honestly cannot imagine wearing anything else. I received so many compliments on the dress and all its little details--and I owe so much of that to her eye and her expertise. Beyond her talent, Gisella is just one of the sweetest, calmest, warmest people you'll ever meet. She has this bright, infectious smile, and every time I came back into the store--whether for fittings or questions--she remembered me and my mom and always asked how we were doing. It truly felt like a match made in heaven to have her as my stylist. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to work with her. I also used David's Bridal for alterations, and I had a great experience. I had some issues with my bustle, and the manager took the time to listen to my concerns and made sure the alterations team addressed them correctly. I brought my dress in just five days before the wedding, and they fixed everything within about two days. I was so relieved and so grateful for their help. Overall, I would absolutely recommend David's Bridal to anyone on a budget. They have a huge selection, great sales throughout the year, and--if you're lucky--you'll get a stylist like Gisella, who turns the entire experience into something truly special. read more

I visited the DB in Brea with a friend to find my wedding dress. I had an appointment, and my stylist, Gisela, assisted me. I showed her a few dresses I found online, and I ended up finding the perfect dress and a veil to go with it. Gisela asked if I planned on getting the dress altered there, and when I asked about the cost, she had one of the alteration ladies come over. I was told that hemming the dress would be about $75, which I agreed to. (For the record, Gisela was very sweet, patient, and helpful!) Before leaving that night, I made an appointment to return for alterations once my dress arrived. The dress came in earlier than expected, so I scheduled my appointment and went in. During the fitting, the alteration lady pinned my dress and mentioned that the sleeves should be taken in as well, which I agreed to. However, when she quoted me the total for the hemming, it was more than double what I had originally been told. I kindly asked to speak with a manager. When she came over, I explained the situation. She said the original amount I was quoted was for bridesmaid dresses--though it was very clear that I was not wearing a bridesmaid dress. She gave me a lower price due to the mix-up, which I appreciated, but I still feel it should have been honored at the original quoted amount. They did listen and attempted to make it right, but if the staff is unsure of pricing, they should not be giving out inaccurate quotes. It creates confusion and unnecessary frustration during what should be an enjoyable experience. The people are friendly but this situation caused unnecessary frustration and if you shop here just make sure the prices you are quoted are correct. read more

I had an appointment at David's bridal and my whole appointment was rushed and I was left wandering and confused as to what to do and where to go. To be clear, my appointment was later in the day and I had availability earlier so I called and asked if they had an earlier time slot and they said yes, to come in, so I did. If they wouldn't have had time or couldn't fit in a bridal trial I would have understood and waited for my original appointment. I explained to my stylist that this was my first time dress shopping for my wedding dress and she asked me what I was looking for in a dress and I was explaining that I was hoping for a certain style but I was open to trying on a bunch of stuff because I didn't know what I would like. She told me they only had a couple things in that style and was hurriedly checking the dresses around her and then disappeared. I didn't know what to do so I just kept looking at their selection and then when I wandered back to the fitting rooms I didn't know who to talk to or where to go so my sister and I walked back out onto the floor to ask what to do and where our stylist is. The stylist appeared behind us to let us know she was pulling stuff from the back and then said she would be right back. When it came to trying on the dresses I hardly got any help from the stylist when I was putting the dresses on and she couldn't find anything close to my size (16/18 ) and so a lot of the dresses just looked very poorly or I couldn't get them on. I even called ahead asking if they would have plus sizes so I don't end up there and not finding anything flattering. When I didn't like the style she was bringing I asked to try a different style of dress and so she brought out 1 dress and that was it. I didn't like the dress and just wanted to be out of there because more than anything it felt like I was a bother and my spirits were getting pretty low. Towards the tail end of the appointment she was helping other customers and I don't know how spread thin the stylist are at David's but it just didn't feel very personal, it didn't feel very special, and I just wouldn't recommend this experience to anyone else starting their journey looking for a wedding dress. read more

I made an appointment online to check out some dresses. And headed out to Brea. For some reason, my GPS did not want to find this store lol It took me awhile to find it. I arrived early. And walked around a bit on my own. When it was my time, the sales lady came over. She was very nice and friendly. She asked what I was looking for, and I told her. I feel bad for the lady lol I'm a non-traditional bride and I could see the panic in her eyes when I told her I wanted a black dress. She said they had two options for me. But they only had them in white in-store. So, I could try them on in white and order it in black if I wanted one of those dresses. Neither were the style I wanted. But I tried them both on just to see. And didn't like them. The sales lady did her best, I do believe that. I'm just a problem everywhere I go hehe :) read more

Wow!!!! It was been at least 3 years since I've been in a David's and I must say... WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I'm unsure if the new location has anything to do with it but the vibe alone was great!!! Now, I tend to be a little more self serving then most, so I went to the counter and let them know we were there to get a dress for my sisters baby shower. With it only being a month away, my prego sis didn't have many options so I told her to start looking. The hostess took way longer then I cared for to find us a "stylist" so I went up to another associate and let them know I needed a changing room for my sister. She instantly said sure! No problem and got us a room. We had lots of options which I thought was cool (plus size soon to be momma's tend to have a hard time finding cute dresses for a good price). My sister tried on a total for 4 dresses, all which were beautiful however Joyce was finally assigned to us and it was like the clouds parted! She such a lovely person with great style and choice of dresses for all body shapes. She found two dresses that were PERFECT for my sister to show off her baby bump and was flattering to her shape as well. We instantly loved them both and couldn't decide which one would be best. Joyce mentioned they were on sale so we thought "Wow! Even better!" When we gathered up to pay for the dress Joyce told us the total which was $62!!! We asked her which dress was $62 and she said, BOTH as in the total for both dresses was only $62!!!! For two full length gowns this was a total steal so of course we bought them both! We were in and out of the store in less than 45 min and it was such a great experience! If you plan on coming here, ask about the sales and clearance items! You never know what you might find!!!! read more

Ashley was super helpful!!! Picked out tons of styles for me to try and helped me narrow down my options:)

This review is for the alterations department. Vahideh and Nick were so kind throughout the whole process and was very helpful with all my questions. I did not feel rushed and they went out of their way to constantly check if all my needs were met as well! If you're hesitant about alterations, give it a try like me. They will be honest with you and transparent with pricing also. Can't wait to see the final product! read more

Yzzy was absolutely incredible! From the moment I walked in, she made the entire experience so special. I made an appointment and she spent nearly two hours with me--so patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right dress. I went on a weekday evening after work thinking it would be quieter, and it was the perfect choice. The selection was huge, I never felt rushed, and the whole experience was amazing. I cannot recommend this place (and Yzzy!) enough--especially if you're in the wedding dress shopping process! read more

I was blessed to meet Cielo. She was very kind and patient, and knew how to help me choose my dress. I was very happy with her help. Thank you so much, Cielo. read more

I had an amazing experience here! I made an appointment days before and compiled a collage of inspo dresses for a smooth visit. Gisela was genuinely SO sweet and truly listened to what I wanted. She took my inspo pics and brought them to life! I told her I already purchased my veil but it hadn't arrived yet so her and another stylist found one so similar that I was able to get the complete look -- and I felt beautiful! I was in between two dress choices and Gisela did not pressure me to purchase the more expensive dress...she made sure I chose the dress I loved most. I'm so happy I was able to say YES to my perfect dress! read more

I just wanted to give a kudos shout out to the staff and management at David's Bridal in Brea, CA. They helped me from start to finish with all my needs, they were so accommodating and gave great customer service. Very understanding and professional staff. Ashley the lead was so helpful and knowledgeable, and all the other staff were too, but I don't remember their names. Vahiteh and Mabi were amazing from the alterations department; great quality work, kind customer service, and expertise in what they do. You can tell they've been doing this for years. Definitely recommend this location for a stress-free pleasant experience! read more

I'm only giving David's Bridal 2 stars because this was my first time at their new location & it's better HOWEVER don't go here if friendly service is important to you. I didn't have an appointment but I just wanted to look around but the selection wasnt great. My biggest issue (and I wish I would have gotten her name) an older Asian woman was at their front desk and she was very rude! She was not welcoming whatsoever and very judgemental. I will not go back here. read more

This is a brand new location! Now you don't find many guys going to a David's Bridal. However the staff here were phenomenal and made me feel super welcomed! While it's limited, they do offer a small selection of men's suits. Overall this is a fantastic choice for alterations, buying a new dress, or browse some new options. While they do not have many options for men, they do offer comfortable places to sit and wait. They also offer amazing service to the ladies wanting to buy a new dress. I greatly appreciate how much this staff made me feel welcomed and it was truly special! read more

BEWARE!! EMPLOYEES PURPOSELY SELL YOU DIRTY DRESSES AND DONT REFUND YOU David's bridal purposely sold me a USED/DIRTY off the rack dress. The employee JUANA urged me to buy the dress stating that I would be able to return it within 7 days. I ended up going with a different dress and did not even OPEN the dress. When I came back CYLYSCE DIAZ (manager) refused to refund me and said it was used. Keep in mind this woman was not even present during the purchase and refused to bring out the employee/manager that helped us day of. I read other reviews and it seems like this is a common TACTIC they use on their customers. Extremely disappointed that they have to stoop to these measures to get business read more

Ashley and her team were amazing!! I needed to find someone to steam my wedding dress in short notice and they were able to make it happen. I was able to take my dress home same day. They did an amazing job and am so happy with how it turned out! read more

We had a great experience at the Brea store. Lina and Serenity were amazing and picked several beautiful dress choices for us. They helped my daughter choose the perfect accessories and jewelry and alterations- read more

Don't know what's so hard about doing your job. Ordered something and went to the store to pick up, i ask the girl for a receipt or if she could email me a copy in case it doesn't fit. She said i should have gotten a receipt. I wouldn't be asking if i had a receipt and she wouldn't do it, nor would the girl on a knee scooter they didn't have any customers in the store but just wouldn't do it. So i walked out pissed off and they never said a word like if they could help. Doesn't matter how much money you spend there they just don't want to work. Won't go back, read more

Well organized by color and style of dresses. The staff was cordial and helpful, not overly friendly. There are a good variety of priced dresses for all types of budgets, including a clearance section with a current additional 40%off. read more

We had a nice time trying on bridesmaid dresses. Anna was the one who helped us and she was great!!

I brought my gown here along with my mother in laws gown from the 90s to create a custom gown for myself. Azita was very helpful and professional. I had two fittings with her to make my dream wedding dress and the she was able to bring my vision to life. They also steamed my dress for me when I had my final fitting. read more

Still no response from upper management on my issue. Customer service is the worst, if you go in without issues and then suddenly have an issue good luck ! read more

This is the second time I've tried on dresses at David's Bridal and this experience was even better than the last. My stylist Perlita was extremely kind and helpful. She told me exactly what to expect and brought over different styles of veils for each dress so I could really get the full look. I ended up purchasing my wedding dress for an amazing price! Only 215$!! The dress is perfect for me and my venue and she made me feel so wonderful in it! read more

I made the mistake of eating a little too much over the holiday break LOL so now I don't fit into a formal dress that I bought for an upcoming event in the new year! I was so concerned when I found that the two DB stores didn't have it in store in a size up, so I went ahead and decided to risk an alteration, if that's what was needed. And boy oh boy were my worries put to rest. Yes, it's always easier to take IN a dress for a size down than to let OUT, but thankfully, the girlies at the alteration counter 1) didn't have to let too much out, about an inch or so on each side, and 2) are freaking pros at their job! I was so worried that the dress was not mendable and they figured it out. Azita was SO lovely and so patient with me as I tried on the dress and let her try and zip me in it. Love her! And can't wait to pick up my dress just in time for my event ... Also I will be hitting the treadmill with more seriousness every day until I pick it up. Lol! Thanks DB! read more

I took a look around because I went with a friend processing a return. Things were definitely pricier than I recall. They did have red tag items that were reasonable. No one greeted me or spoke to me the whole time I was there, maybe 30 minutes. I did walk by at minimum 5 employees. Apparently my friend is a bridesmaid in a wedding and ordered a dress here the associate said she would order it the next day for her. The next day called her and said she couldn't because it wouldn't arrive on time and she ordered a different dress for her and charged it to her?!!! Who does that? That's wild. And get this. They wouldn't reverse or cancel.or return without her driving down to the store. Which is why we went. Thats so presumptuous. read more

I made an appointment here for my bridesmaids online which was very easy and convenient to set up. I confirmed my appointment through phone the day before. Unfortunately when we arrived, the online booking had given us a previous address and the bridal shop was relocated. No biggie though, the new location was only a few minutes away. When we arrived we were set up in a large dressing room to accommodate my party. We were not checked up on throughout our appointment, but I was helped when I requested. It was not our stylist's fault, she was helping all the parties there and she was incredibly busy. Our stylist was very kind, I just wish more staff was there to help us throughout our experience. We got the dresses which were great! I would just recommend they have more stylists there to assist, especially if they know there will be large parties read more

Thank you to Karen and Dulce for your service and support! We went in without an appointment to get our bridesmaids dresses. This was our second go around so we had an idea of what we wanted but because the wedding is about 2 months away a lot of what we wanted wouldn't arrive on time. Karen helped us find different dresses in the right color and was very patient. read more

I've never left a review before but I just can't get over how bad the whole experience has made me and the whole family feel. My daughter and I made an appt for my future daughter in law to try on wedding dresses 12/26/25. My son is in the military so we thought it would be nice to take his bride dress shopping while they were in town for the holidays They both were so happy. We told her stylist the budget and she told us which racks to look on. She said take pictures of the tags and she would get the dresses. We told her three didn't have tags but we only want to try on dresses in her budget. My future daughter in law loved one of the dresses she tried on The stylist let her try it on twice letting her think it was in budget we were going to get it we were all super happy. We knew the budget was clear so at the end when the stylist showed my Future DIL the tablet I thought it was strange she didn't order the dress It wasn't until we got outside and she started crying and said the dress was more than three times our budget. But the stylist didn't say a word the entire time letting her get excited about the dress. We all felt rotten about the experience every one we've told can't believe how what was supposed to be super fun and exciting ended up being really sad for all of us read more

THEY SOLD ME A DIRTY DRESS AND REFUSED TO REFUND ME. I had bought a wedding dress in-store. I had ANOTHER dress that was getting shipped to my house but hadn't yet tried on yet. I suggested that I just come tomorrow to pick up this dress if it didn't come in time. They urged that I just buy it today bc of their lenient return policy and that I could just return the dress if I didn't need it. When they sell you the dress, they don't even bat an eye and bag it up. But upon return, they inspect for the smallest imperfection and will prevent you from doing a return. Next day comes, I hadn't even taken it out of the bag. They refuse to let me return it because it looks "used". Same with the mesh undergarment. Are they fucking for real? People come into the stores and try things on all the time. I bought the dress as is without alterations straight from the rack. A bunch of the dresses I tried on in that store had broken zippers and dirty dresses. THEY sold me a dirty dress and I didn't take it out of the bag. I returned the original dress a day later with all the tags in place and they refused to refund me for a dress that CAME dirty. They are absolute thieves. If you expect to get a refund for something you NEVER used, say good bye to your money. read more

I had such a great experience, mostly because of Andrew's exceptional service. Definitely ask for him if you want everything to be perfect. I got so many compliments on my dress, it was worth every penny! And when I picked up the cleaning/preserving kit 3 weeks after I got married, Andrew remembered me! David's Bridal is the way to go when you want to look great at your wedding. read more

For someone who has been in many weddings and has never gotten a dress from David's bridal or gotten one altered before, I really enjoyed my experience with Vahida. She was so kind and helpful and did a great job altering my dress to fit my 6 month pregnant belly. read more

If you're looking for friendly service for starters, this is NOT the place to go. One of the associates was actually helpful, but everyone else, INCLUDING the manager was rude. They originally gave me one date for the projected receipt date, but the date was later AFTER we paid for the dresses. They knew we needed the dress for a June wedding, and all they told us was that they couldn't do the alterations because it would arrive too late. There was no apology, no offer for a work-around...only "if you return the items, it'll be a $10 restocking fee per item." So, David's Bridal, you're going to order dresses, give us a later date, you won't alter it due to that later date, and if we return it, it's $10/item to restock it? So you made $30 for absolutely nothing. Nice. With that later date in mind, I bought other dresses from Nordstrom. The Nordstrom dresses were received and altered BEFORE the David's Bridals dresses arrived at the store. Yes, David's Bridal wouldn't send their dresses to our house. I called to ask David's Bridal to simply cancel the order or return the dresses because the dresses were at their store, which is 30 minutes away. They said we had to come in to have the dresses returned AND we had to bring in the credit card that we used. That meant I had to pick up my elderly mother who lives 30 minutes in a different direction because it's her card, then drive 45 minutes to Brea, then drive her back home and come home. That's a minimum of 2.5 hours of driving because they couldn't simply cancel or return this order. So my sister decided to take my mom and her card to the store, and they wouldn't process the return. They told her that they would process the return the next day or the day after that (what store does that?), BUT they took down the credit card number. If they could take the credit card number to process the return 2 days later, why couldn't they take the credit card number over the phone? It just sounds like a lot of lame and quite frankly, dated excuses. Most companies have the credit card on file and when you return items, it automatically goes directly to the card that was used to purchase the items. These employees act like this is a high-end store, and it's part of their job to be smug and rude. The quality is poor, the prices are high for what it is, they charge restocking fees and the service is the absolute worst. They do nothing to help and everything to hinder. It's so ridiculous they don't know how sub-par their merchandise and service is. You work at a retail store, but even if you were POTUS, you should always lead with kindness and be helpful. If you act like you don't want my business, I have no problem not giving you my business. My daughters are in their late 20's. They and all of their friends are getting engaged and married. They were in sororities and played sports. I'll make sure to relay my experience to them. You should really be careful how you treat your customers. This was my first time at a David's Bridal, and I guarantee it's also my last time. We bought our dresses at Nordstrom, which were not that much more than these David's Bridal dresses, and the alterations were free. All of it was done with a smile, and the altered dresses came 2 weeks before the projected finish date. Save yourselves the trouble and shop somewhere else. read more

The customer service is TOP TIER!!!! Weddings can be so stressful but it's nice to have staff who are so nice, patient, and HELPFUL! I was amazed! I had to make some last minute changes and the manager, Ashley was the best!!!

I was so amazed by the wonderful service, I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! read more

This is a specialty store and when I returned my dress because the color just didn't match the wedding. They tried to give me a store credit. Finally, after arguing with the manager, she credited my card. But why should I have to go through that? Plus, they've already closed a couple stores. Why would I want to store credit that I probably won't need for maybe another 10 or 15 years read more

Drove from several cities away to look for a formal dress, but this location closed an hour and a half before their posted closing hours. One extra star for the kind associate that was cleaning the windows when we arrived. read more

When we were planning my wedding last year, my bridesmaids ended up buying their dresses from DB because it was easy for them to find matching colors and styles while living in different cities. I'm not a huge fan of most wedding corporate chain stores, but I was glad that they found dresses they all liked. A few of us were helping my bridesman shop for his suit, and we read online that DB offered suits in matching colors through a partnership with Men's Wearhouse. We were in the area and stopped by this store. When our group walked into the nearly-empty store, a few associates were hanging out behind the cash register, but no one approached the host stand or acknowledged us. Finally, when a woman came over and said "do you have an appointment?" we asked about whether they could help us with menswear. "We don't partner with Mens Wearhouse anymore," she said, and then walked away! Didn't offer suggestions, didn't mention whether they do any matching menswear with outside vendors, didn't ask if we needed anything else for our wedding party. I was really turned off by how dismissed we were, and my 4-year-old niece/ flower girl saw a pair of shoes we wanted. A group of associates were standing around and talking (what looked to be a casual, non-work conversation) when we came back to the register, and no one offered to check us out or even acknowledged us. Finally, someone else walked over, but during our whole time in the store, we were treated like an annoyance just for being there and interrupting conversations. Maybe they treat customers with appointments a little better? I regretted coming here at all and after my girls had a difficult time with their alterations, they did too. read more

Worst Customer Experience. The shopping assistant didn't listen to what the bride was actually looking for, and her recommendations were completely misleading and a waste of time. At checkout, all the salespeople got involved, making the process unnecessarily long and stressful. I would not recommend this place, brides are already nervous and need someone who listens, guides them with the right recommendations, and makes the checkout smooth and easy. read more

They moved to a new location!! Still in brea but much nicer set up. If you're wedding planning or plan to be a wedding guest, I recommend stopping by here to check out dresses, jewelry, shoes. The people are nice. Some are more experts on the wedding stuff than others. I got some wedding heels cheaper here than at macys. read more
