I had a very nice experience shopping for my wedding gown at this David's Bridal in Naperville. They were very accommodating and really put the bride first. No matter what my concern was, they immediately put my mind at ease and understood where I was coming from. I had a breezy time selecting my dream gown and the alterations was a positive experience where the alterations manager made certain that I was happy with all aspects of the dress fit. I liked David's Bridal because I needed a dress fairly quickly within 3 months. They have some more affordable designer options. My dress was Oleg Cassini, and I was able to stay working my budget and get a designer dress. read more

David's bridal in Naperville has the most unprofessional incompetent sales team. I have yet to work with. Their communication and procedure on how they sell dresses and how they have no accountability for the errors that they make it's just unbelievable. One of the first issues is, how I ordered the dress in store and put down a deposit and it was told the dress will be in in July 2026. My wedding was in October, and after not hearing from them in July, I called the store and was told by another associate that the address was not going to be ordered because it was not paid off in May again poor communication. After paying the dress off and it being shipped two weeks later, the dress that I ordered was not the address that I received. The quality was poor. The length was shorter, and it just looked like an overall different dress. After the continuous disappointment, I chose to go to another David bridal location in Orland Park. When I picked up the dress from Naperville, I did not receive any paperwork. They said nothing was needed to show that I even picked up the dress. I ended up buying a new dress from the Orland Park location and they said they needed the receipt from the Naperville location, but Naperville refuse to email me or fax over a copy of proof of purchase. They wanted me to drive an hour and a half to get something physically printed off.. I would never ever recommend anyone to go there. It has made my dress by an experience a living hell. pic on the left is what I ordered, me wearing the dress. The pic on the right is what I received. The Satin was super thin, a different color and very short no hem needed versus the left picture. The Satin was thicker ..needed to be hemmed a larger train and just overall better quality... read more

I want to sincerely thank Maureen. She knows what great customer service looks like. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and not pressured into buying items or dresses she made me feel very heard. 10 out of 10 would recommend her as a stylist, very kind and thoughtful. I think she's doing a fantastic job. Thank you so much for making me feel so welcomed and helping me to find the vibe I was looking for! read more

To start- I'm aiming my review mostly at their online store / customer service, but there is no option to review that, so it's a combo review. Do not buy anything online! their size charts are off and their customer service is customer service from h**l. Save yourself. if you're buying online, buy from any other place. not here. Just one example - they *unapologetically* charge $15 for a return mailing label for EACH ITEM in your order. So if you bought a few veils to look at for example, you can expect $15 return fee for each veil. They claim that each item needs it's own return mailing label. Never mind that $15 is already double what return labels usually cost in the first place. This is in addition to restocking fees for each item. (Applicable to some items, not all) Also the dress itself was not great quality and fit. I went into the store to try to exchange (probably for a nicer more expensive dress) if they could do a simpler return, no restocking fees, etc. They weren't able to accommodate that, so it is what it is. I'll return, pay the fees and go somewhere else. read more

My review is for my experience with looking at dresses for my bridesmaids. Looking at other previous reviews, I think some reviewers need to have realistic expectations. With bridal shopping, whether David's or elsewhere, it is important to have an appointment. You can book online or call the store. This will ensure you will have a stylist and the store has room. Bridal sizing is notorious for running small. I recommend checking David's website ahead of time for plus size sizing if your party may need that. Not all dresses come in all sizes/colors. Same with if you have petite members in your party. Compared to other locations that I have been to, I felt that this location was organized nicely. Our stylist was Brooke, and she was excellent. She was patient and brought dresses out that would look good on my ladies. She explained when to expect the dresses. Both of my ladies found dresses on sale! Yay! At time of review, bridesmaid dresses are taking about 5 weeks to come in (potentially less). read more

I bought my Wedding Dress at David's Bridal in 1997. I went to David's Bridal to look for a wedding dress for my daughter's wedding. David's Bridal had a huge selection of dresses at affordable prices. The staff were very friendly and helpful! read more

I purchased a dress here and when I went to pick it up the staff was extremely unfriendly and just flat out rude. Once they make the sale you're irrelevant to them. Acted like they were inconvenienced by me asking a simple question about my dress. Disgusting behavior! Zero customer service or appreciation. I so regret buying my dress from them. I would recommend shopping elsewhere if you value customer service and will definitely not be doing alterations with them. read more

Dina was FANTASTIC. She was attentive, listened to feedback about what I liked or didn't about a given dress, brought out a variety of options. She was respectful of our budget and made sure to bring dresses that would work on our timeframe. We found the bridesmaid dress selection mediocre and not flexible for a variety of body types and limited colors. I didn't have alterations done there but the woman I spoke with was helpful. Alterations are closed Wednesdays and Thursdays. I couldn't ask for a better experience than what I had with Dina. David's Bridal may get 4 stars but Dina gets 5. read more

Walk-ins are not welcomed if you are trying on wedding dresses. We were told we could not utilize a dressing room without a stylist and that we had to wait for the next available appointment time, 45 minutes. If you're not going to allow Brides to walk in and try on dresses do not advertise "Walk-ins welcomed." read more

Positives: over all friendly staff and very helpful with picking out your wedding dress. They have a good selection in variety of wedding dresses as well. I also purchased my shoes from here and they were beautiful. Their points program was also useful I saved some money buying most of my accessories from them. Negatives: their dress sizing is going to be either two sizes too big or way too small so that you have to get the dress altered either way. In the beginning I had no problem with it getting altered but the problem was that it had to get altered so much that it costed just as much as buying a whole new dress again. I had to go in and get fitted about three times, and what angered me is all the times It took to go in and get fitted should have saved me time and money from getting the dress altered so much in the end. However, I realized it did not matter how many times they measured me with their measuring tape I was going to keep getting charged hundreds of dollars for each little inch they still had to alter on the dress from the 1st fitting. I was 2 weeks away and the dress was still way too loose and they had to rush to get it done. in the end I am grateful that they were able to see the huge inconvenience it was causing and were able to accommodate with the expenses. I told them not to touch the bottom anymore and they still managed to crop the bottom of the dress even more ‍ regardless my dress was still absolutely stunning and you can't even tell that they cropped it a lot from the front. read more

This was my first time wedding dress shopping with my mom and sister, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. We booked an appointment pretty easily the day before. When we first walked in, our stylist Georgina had showed us the dress area and helped us pick up 5 different kind of dress styles to try on. I liked all the dresses, and absolutely loved 3 of the 5 that we tried! Georgina was excellent and chose some styles that I wouldn't have thought I liked (I highly recommend her). She even helped style with various veils. The 90 minutes passed by super quickly. The price point is very reasonable as well. read more

So happy I came here! Karen helped me from the moment I walked in. I explained to her I only had a month left before my sisters wedding and I needed a last minute dress. She picked some styles for me and the FIRST dress I tried on was perfect. They ordered my size and it was there for me 3 days later. I even bought my shoes there too. The store is clean and well organized too. Thank you so much Karen for all your help. I will absolutely be back! read more

My daughter came into David's Bridal in search of a prom dress. She found her size in a few colors and styles for a fraction of the cost! The entire staff were amazing and friendly! She didn't even need any tailoring for her dress. David's Bridal for the win!! read more

Went in today at the Naperville location looking for a maid of honor dress for my sister's wedding. It was supposed to be a fun, happy day. Unfortunately the stylist who we had, Katelin, thought it would be ok to make comments about my body such as me "being busty" and referring to my size as "the bigger sizes" (Not sure when a size 8 become a bigger size?. I found it extremely unprofessional and rude. Also, my mom made a comment to my sister about how her new, handmade face mask was "thick and kind of hard to breathe in" but didn't take it off or anything. To this comment that wasn't even directed to her, Katelin stated "I'm a paramedic and breathe fine in masks while lifting 300lbs." She just seemed very unprofessional and not happy to be there at all. Left the store feeling like crap. read more

If I can give no stars here, I will. I went in as a mother of a bride and got zero help. The staff never left the greeters counter and just told me to sign the email sheet. Then I was told "yeah, go look over there" and was gestured to the bridesmaid side of the store. After wandering around frustrated for about 10 minutes by myself, with no help at all, I left frustrated. The people at the greeter counter just said "have a nice day" as I left. Unbelievable. I was heartbroken and felt ignored and like my business was not worth their time. I will never, ever go here again and would never tell anyone else to either. read more

I have been looking for a grey bridesmaids dress forever and have not found one. At this point, the wedding will be next month on the 21st and I was starting to panic. I just wanted something fitted that was flattering. Hard to believe that there were no stores almost anywhere on earth that carried a nice grey lace dress until I looked online. I needed the dress asap so I decided to go to the David's Bridal location near me (Aurora). Sales associate Kristina L helped me gather dresses in styles I might be interested in (lace and grey) and also helped me when I needed assistance getting in and out of dresses. What was great was that I found what I was looking for-a grey lace dress that was flattering and that it was on clearance for $50 when I even went as far as buying a $109 dress that did not look good on me at all from ASOS. So I was happy spending that $50 already. The dress needed to have its hook and eye re-sewn since it was falling apart, but Kristina L said they could get it done in just a few minutes. I did not wait long at all and the dress was ready to buy. The hook and eye were sewn on just right. Another awesome thing was that I could just buy the dress right then and there. The dress has a simple style that can be used again for other occasions also. When Kristina rung me up, it turned out that the dress was marked for an even lower price than what she originally told me. The dress was $32.46 with tax. How do you beat that?! Kristina L. was nice, helpful, the store's selection and styles were great, they were able to reinforce the hook and eye so that it was secure, and I was able to get my dress that very day without any fuss of measuring or ordering. David's Bridal really saved me from the bridesmaid-dress hunting mess! Thank you so much! I am very happy with my purchase. read more

David's Bridal - Finally found my bridesmaid dress! Awesome help from David's Bridal in Aurora! - Bridal Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

David's Bridal should be a stop on every bride's to-do list, if only to see what's out there and try on a beautiful gown now, now, now! Well...now-ish: you are required to set up an appointment. I'll start by saying the gowns at David's Bridals are gorgeous. Coming from someone who simply cannot fathom spending the exorbitant amount other boutiques and designers demand, I'll say the prices here are reasonable for a dress that's beautiful and of good quality. I still look at the website regularly just to see what's new in the inventory. My experience at this store came earlier this year, as a maid of honor shopping for the bride's dress. As both of us had never done this sort of thing before, we learned the store does not stock every dress nor every size, so she would be trying on the next available size. Sometimes this was not a problem, others she'd have a dress on that was six sizes too small. Our attendant was kind and helpful, however I will say it's a bit disorganized at the check-in stand: it took almost a half hour to go from check-in to actually meet with our consultant. I gotta say though, I don't know how those girls do it: only a few hours of going through the racks and lifting dresses was murder on my arms! read more

I had the worse experience tonight visiting a store in my area. My daughter and I walked in before other patrons, but they were helped first. The ladies were not friendly, I was rushed, and they were not very accommodating or helpful. Needless to say after ordering online and shopping in the store, I will never patronize again. You don't treat people like scum. Learn customer service for everyone. Take some classes! read more

The workers here were extremely rude and judge mental. They were talking bad about me while I was trying on dresses. I would NOT recommend.

I had a fabulous experience finding my wedding dress here with our bridal consultant, Valerie. She was enthusiastic and determined to help me find something I loved. I am a larger plus sized gay bride and came shopping with my fiancée and it made a big difference to us to have a consultant who was so awesome and cared about our experience! read more

Maybe it's because I found my wedding dress here. Orrrrrrrr, maybe it's because I totally don't buy into the idea that buying your dress should be a quasi-religious experience where your mom / future mother-in-law / stylists / posse of 12 bridesmaids cry tears of rapture into their champagne glasses when you've found (all-caps) "THE DRESS." It's a dress, you guys. I mean, it's going to be beautiful, but It's not offering you eternal salvation. Everyone just calm down. This David's Bridal has a nice selection of wedding dresses in a variety of styles, from "Beach Bride" to "I'm Pretending To Be Kate Middleton." There's a lot of variety. And, from what I've seen, most the dresses are of good quality and under $1,500. Score! I found the two consultants I worked with to be very helpful, and my dress is the most effing gorgeous thing I've ever put on my body. So there's that. If you're looking for a few hours of boozy enchantment where you ogle yourself in $$$$ designer gowns like the princess you think you are...David's Bridal is not for you. But otherwise? I recommend stopping here. Even if you don't find your dress (or hate the idea of buying your dress at a Big Bridal Store), the wide selection of styles will at least help you narrow down what KIND of dress you want. And that's half the battle. read more

Two words: PROM HELL. There's one section of the store that's dedicated to prom dresses. My mom and I came at the wrong time, because this place was chock full of teenage girls and their mothers picking through those dresses and talking loudly. The whole store seemed very disorganized and... dirty. But that's not why I decided to award this place a measly one star. As someone who considers most strapless dresses the butt bows of the 90s and the poofy shoulders of the 80s (in other words, they'll look so outdated in 20 years), I was not particularly impressed with the selection of bridal dresses here. Not only that, but most of the dresses looked so cheap and tacky. I was gunning for a timeless look, and this store did not offer anything remotely resembling that at all. In fact, when I think about it, most of the bridal dresses here looked like super gaudy prom dresses. Barf. However, we still decided to stick around until our consultant was available to meet with us in case they had more dresses hidden in the back room or something. That was not the case. My fellow brides, I don't recommend making an appointment. Just walk in and sort through the dresses on the sales floor. That's all they have available. Our consultant seemed to have no idea what she was doing. When I told her what I was looking for, she went, "Ummm... I don't know." then she proceeded to lead us around the store, pointing out tacky strapless dress after tacky strapless dress. (A few ugly old-ladyish dresses with sleeves were thrown into the mix, but they didn't fit my criteria at all). She did exactly what we were doing 10 minutes prior -- she sorted through every single dress there. She seemed to have no idea where to find certain dresses. If we didn't know any better, we'd assume that she was just another customer. Our trip there was a huge waste of time. You might find your dream dress there, though. Just don't count on them giving you the kind of service you're looking for. read more

Don't go here if you are a bride. Or at least, do NOT give them your phone number on the registration sheet. I've gotten non-stop "unknown" and unrecognizeable phone calls from area vendors, soliciting their services for my wedding, saying they got my number from David's Bridal. I also got a call from an unknown number saying I won some kind of bridal package. If I had known this would happen, I would've never filled out that sheet! read more

DO NOT GET YOUR DRESS ALTERED HERE!!!!!! Incredibly unprofessional. They are completely insulting and don't take ownership for mistakes they made. Absolutely terrible. read more

I am going to rate this based on first impressions and the service I received with no affiliations to any bridal stores. I think I've been watching too many "Say Yes to the Dress" on TLC, but my VERY FIRST BRIDAL EXPERIENCE was sooooo not what I expected. Being newly engaged (almost 3 weeks yay), I was so eager to step into a bridal store and try on dresses. I picked this DB because it was close to my aunt's home and I was in the area. Let's say, this was NOT what I pictured at all. First impression of the store: badly lit Marshalls. It did not showcase the dresses nicely, the store was really florescently lit, so I don't know... the dresses had a funny tint on it. Given on the manequins they had some beautiful dresses, If the decorations were nicer and it didn't look so chaotic, then it'd have made it better. Second: it took at least 20 minutes until my consultant acknowledged I was there. Her name was Mel. I came in on the dot for my appointment, registered checked in etc. Then I was standing there. With my sister (MOH). My mom and aunt came late. They stood with us. For a very very long time. Even when the consultant came, she spoke to us for less than 5 minutes then went to see her other client. Given it was a Saturday and it was busy, I understand that she was serving more than 1 customer. But literally, we sat on chairs. Correction, my sister was standing because she didn't even bother to bring another chair over! Third: Man, I came prepared! I had 8 dresses all printed out with their style numbers ready for the consultant to pull out for me! I handed her the packet, and immediately she said "We do not carry the Vera Wang collection. Only 2 stores in the Chicago land area do, and we're not one of them". Bummer for me, that was one that I really wanted to try. But it's ok because I had like 7 more. WELL, ha I got to try on the dresses, one at a time in like 15 minute intervals.... I would literally go in and change, and the dresses are HUGE on me because they were floor samples. My impression was that the consultant would be there to help lace me in clip the extra fabric, right? NO. She disappeared. For like 10 minutes because she was helping the other customer.So i stood there in a huge suit trying to hold the dress up and not flash the room. Fourth: Did I forget to mention the "dressing room" is no bigger than a walk in linen closet with no mirror? WTF man? What if i wanted to preview the dress before showing my family? I guess everyone got to see the dress (ugly or not) together in front of everyone in the store! Fifth: Finally after my awesome aunt complained to the store manager, she miraculously switched my consultant to attend me fully, and things got better. She started pulling out more dresses from my list so that i got to try on one after another. In the end: I did find something that was potential, but I found something that was EVEN BETTER... next door at House of Brides. My conclusion is that for some of the prices of the dresses, it's affordable for many people! There are various designs, fabrics, and styles, but what you pay for is what you get. I tried on some $1000+ dresses, and they were beautifully made and cut. I also tried on some $500 dresses that felt and looked cheap. DB overall carries a highly varied sample, so kudos for that. HOWEVER, based on my FIRST EVER bridal shopping experience, how the store was laid out, how my service was terrible (however I expected that on a Saturday, but not standing there trying to hold myself up for 10 minutes!), I am quite disappointed in this location and would definitely not go back there! read more

It always seems difficult for them to find wedding party info in their computer from different states. making an appointment to try things on gets spotty service, the consultants should be more willing to help you find items in the racks rather than just different sizes. Pretty much the only thing i got from the consultant was her standing around complimenting the dress, no offers to get different styles etc. often the times to receive the dress after ordering are super fast. ie: they'll say 6-8 weeks and i'll get a call in 7 days. i've found that if you don't have the dress in 6 weeks it's more likely that they order didn't go through. check back in with them read more

I had a horrible experience with them 9 years ago with my wedding but yanno, stuff changes management turns over etc.... So, i'm the MOH in a wedding. YAY! happy dance! I order my dress, and am told i need an 18. Now, I am familiar with bridal "bizzaro world sizing" and i asked to see the size chart. I argued with the consultant that I needed a 14 instead. He argued back that since i'm pregnant bla bla blah. The dress i selected was stretchy and had an open hip area- no WAY that this would not fit me! I finally freaking concede to the 18 to just get out of there as my husband was waiting with the kids in the car. I also double check that its possible to add sleeves to the gown. (as pregnant ladies need support and i'm gonna need an actual bra with straps) I am assured it is not only possible but will not cost me more than about $30 the 18 comes. I try it on. Its HUGE. Like, i don't even have to zip it up huge. "oh we can do alterations" Sure SURE ya can, for like another $150 right? And then they deliver the bomb shell. Its too big and we CAN do those alterations, but we can't do the other ones you wanted, its just SIMPLY not POSSIBLE. and i must be mistaking them for you know an actual "bridal salon. How about we just sell you a strapless bra instead". Now, I sew. If the bride had been OK with it i would have made my own stinkin dress. Not only do I know the sleeve alterations are possible, they're at MAX like a 1-2 hour job. And furthermore, i'm going to be about 8 months pregnant at this wedding. What possible feat of engineering could you possibly have in stock that would hold up "the girls" at that juncture that doesn't have straps. (answer: IT DOESNT EXIST) WHich is why i wanted the sleeve addition in the first place! They then suggest i buy a jacket to go over. I tell them tersely, "no. We are ordering a different style dress that i can wear a proper bra with and i'll either make or purchase a jacket for that one" And then i have to pick a different color because their "time" frame is like 14 weeks out for all the colors. Its a REALLY good thing the bride doesn't care what color we wear. I'm told the dress will come in JUST before the wedding. The dress came in 2 days ago. i could have ordered my original color. and 14 weeks? really? like, sometimes people get added to weddings or things change... and I hate to say this, the dresses, are not that high quality to begin with. Mine came in, i tried it on today (fits great, whaddya know, in a 14) and .... there are loose threads and stuff all over it. O_o Honestly, if i presented something that not so great finished to a client, i'd lose the client. All in all this was an exceptionally frustrating experience. read more

Bought the dress. It was ready within days. So that was nice. But they signed me up for their damn junk mail service. Even after I put a big, fat X next to the box that said "No, don't sign me up for all your sh*t from third parties." I now get bombarded with junk email from wedding shows, photographers, videographers, tux places, etc. etc. etc. Not OK, David's Bridal. Not OK. read more

I was so incredibly disappointed in this David's Bridal. I had an amazing experience at the David's Bridal in Bucktown but this location was awful. In fairness, I think the shop overbooked the bridal consultants because they all seemed stressed out and running around. When we arrived, we waited a while at the front for someone to help us, but nobody did. So, we gave up and started looking at the gowns. Eventually, through accosting three bridal consultants, we found ours. Our bridal consultant sucked. She was unfriendly and acted as though we were annoying her. She did ONE thing: bring us a few initial gowns. That was it. Also, she brought my friend gowns that were much too small despite the fact that we told her our sizes. We were so desperate that we caught another consultant to help. To her credit, the other consultant was really nice and more or less "took us on" as her own. I caught her giving a quizzical look to our initial consultant, who just kind of shrugged. I liked some of the gowns here, but wouldn't buy any at this location. read more

I am adding to my additional review. I cannot sing Elene's praises enough. Like I said before her tips were helpful and creative! I could not be more impressed. Today was the final dress fitting and the dress impressed everyone who saw it. It is unbelievable! I am beyond happy!!!! thank you times a million! Please take a look at the photos of my sterling silver Vera Wang Dress before and after! Everyone at David's Bridal in Naperville rocks, but of course a million thank you's to the alterations dept for making my dress look haute couture!!!!! :) read more

Compared to House of Brides next door, this place is a godsend. I got a great dress for $450. I was a walk-in but was not at all treated that way. The girl who helped me was bubbly and sweet and I felt that she was genuinely interested in helping me find the dress of my dreams. The only weird thing is that they reaaaallllyyy wanted me to take the dress that I tried on. I wanted to order a brand new dress, and they finally said ok. They left it up to me, but not without trying to get me to take the one in the store. My new dress came in 3 weeks. In my opinion, you shouldn't spend too much on a dress anyway, you only wear it one day. My dress was $450 and my bridesmaids dresses were $80 after a discount. Their accessories are kinda pricey. But you save a bunch on the dress. read more

I didn't buy my dress from here, but I had a fantastic experience shopping for one. I had scheduled an appointment online, which I am a huge fan of and came at my scheduled time. When I arrived I was introduced with Bethanny, who was my salesperson for the day. She asked me some questions about what I was looking for and then went to pull dresses for me that met that criteria. She set me up in a dressing room and I went to town trying on dresses Bethanny was really friendly and super helpful. She didn't have a problem at all when I tried on dresses that I had picked and ended up hating. She didn't mind that I couldn't make up my mind. In the end, I had narrowed it down to two dresses that I liked and I had decided to look around more before committing to a purchase. She urged me to set up an appointment for a couple of days later to take advantage of the sale that seems to always be going on when you are looking for a dress. I did shop around some more and I did find a dress I liked way better than anything I tried on here for half the price, so I bought it. But I would recommend Bethanny if you are shopping here for a dress. read more

I've been to this DB several times. As a bridesmaid, as a guest looking for a nice dress, and now as I begin my foray into bridedom. I've had mostly good experiences here. The people who caused my (really big) bad experiences are now gone. But the current manager still apologized. My first time here was looking for a bridesmaid dress for my brother's wedding in 2008. I was in a wheelchair, and from proposal to wedding was only 2 months. They accomodated me with the handicap dressing room and helped me find style (got to pick our own style), size and color. Thankfully, I didn't need any alterations that time. Another bridesmaid who went to Schaumburg DB was not so lucky. They also helped me with shoes and purse. My mom (Mother of the Groom) got her dress at Lombard, but found shoes here. A few days before the wedding, she went to pick up her shoes and found they had not been dyed because the color was discontinued, and no one bothered to tell her that. I went in, talked to the mgr, got the dying refunded, and the shoes were done the next day. I got a bridesmaid dress for a 2009 wedding in Schaumburg, but had my alterations done here. Since the woman who messed up my alterations no longer works there, I'll skip the detail. Let's just say I was safety-pinning my own hem at the bride's mom's house 5 min before pictures. The mgr at the time never called me back when I called to complain. But when I went in summer of 2010 for another bridesmaid dress, I mentioned it to the current mgr and she was very apologetic. I'll be shopping at this DB for my own wedding gown. I love that the bridesmaids (i refuse to call them BM's... it's just wrong!) get a discount on their dresses if I get mine here! read more

I was a little skeptical coming here, as I have not heard good things about the chain in general. But let me say I was pleasantly surprised. We were shopping for bridesmaid dresses but they bridal gowns looked really pretty. And they have a Vera Wang line with some very pretty dresses. We did have to wait about 15 minutes for an sales person to start working with us, but we did walk in without an appointment on a Saturday. Sarah is the person who helped us and she was great. She was very busy but always took time and answered our questions and was very friendly. I was also surprised by the quality of the dresses. They were really nice and I found several that I am happy with. Although I have not ordered yet, I likely will. read more

I do not know where to begin. I had always told myself that if I had a negative review to share, I would share it directly with the store or business. However, after several attempts to have David's Bridal see the reality of the situation and their unprofessional behavior, I give up. I'm petite and expecting. I found out a few months before my best friends wedding and immediately, and I mean immediately, began to the process of contacting David's Bridal to see my options for the dress and weight gain as I am the Maid of Honor in the wedding. They assured me several times the dresses we picked out would not be an issue to alter or order a size up in. After not gaining much weight in my stomach area, I figured I was in the clear. I DID order a second dress in a size 6 just in case the dress I had would not fit. Sure enough, two weeks prior it did not. I contacted the store multiple times..after several attempts on their end to not pick up the phone..only to be told 1. They could not find my order (they had the wedding date wrong and my name wrong in their system) and 2. The dresses we had for the wedding were discontinued & it's not their responsibility to let a wedding party know. (That baffles me!) They quickly encouraged an alteration..however had no guarantees of it being completed on time for the wedding and could not fit me in until a few days before the ceremony. No, thanks. The bride decided it would be best to just have me wear a different dress all together. Oddly enough, and magically enough during our appointment to exchange the dress it became a "guarantee" to find the dress at a different store location or have the alterations be done on time.. I was told several times on the phone that neither of these options were doable. I even had the associate look at a store nearly 3 hours away for me for a size 6 dress and she told me none were to be found. So, which associate is lying? It honestly seemed like the associates didn't want to deal with an exchange of the dress...which considering the circumstances is so strange. We chose the easier option that does not hold them accountable to any more errors after they made several. WHO on earth would trust a store or company to alter a dress on time after being told they don't even take accountability for inventory at a BRIDAL SHOP? I would have had to pick the altered dress up the MORNING of the Wedding with no guarentee as to how it would look, feel or fit...which we said was not an option SEVERAL times. Unprofessional and quite frankly, not accommodating for expecting mother's or any brides needs whatsoever. read more

An update to the horrible experience my son's fiancé had picking up her wedding dress for a NY wedding: I would like to thank David's Bridal for reaching out, apologizing for the delays and inconvenience they put her through. As a token of wanting to make things right, and the inability to change the past, they have refunded the cost of alterations. Thank you David Bridal for caring enough to do that. By the way, it was shared with me by the bride that everyone in the shop was very pleasant. read more

After going to a smaller boutique and being a little disappointed with my experience, my experience here was so nice!! Kristen was so sweet and helpful and listened to me as well as my guests, and found a dress that fit me so perfectly even though it was different than what I planned to get. I was also really happy with the variety and quality of dresses. read more

Please keep being sweet and friendly! Wedding planning it's so stressful and it's refreshing to have someone kind to help! read more

Getting married, and decided to visit David's Bridal in Aurora, Illinois. The receptionist Hailey greeted me with an amazing smile and made me feel very welcomed. I was met by my amazing Stylist Jennifer! She was simply incredible, she was very professional, courteous, friendly and outgoing. She asked all the right questions to find the perfect dress! I walked in overwhelmed by the amount of dresses there feeling it would be difficult to find "THE DRESS" from such an incredible collection. I gave her as much information as I could as to what my budget, color, look, and style I was looking for. Jennifer said to me "I know exactly what you are looking for, and shockingly the first dress she showed me was the one I fell in love with! I tried other dresses and styles, but I just knew the first one she found for me was the one! Talking about being incredible at your job! She was awesome! I tried The Dress again on another size and the Manager came over and introduced her self, her name is Lindsay Labelle, they both made me feel very special, and treated me like loyalty. It's because of incredible customer service like that, that I decided to take the time to write a review. I highly recommend Davids Bridal and go see Jennifer as your stylist, and Lindsay they will make you feel as amazing as they made me feel. I truly had a great experience! Thank you! read more

I'm a very odd chick; I'm simple, easy to please, and I hate shopping. That being said, David's was the first and only place I went to try on wedding dresses. I planned on buying my dress on my first trip, as I'm not one to go to multiple places to try and find "THE ONE." Ladies, let's be real here: you wear the dress for one day, and let's be honest, your future daughter (if you decide to have children) will most likely NOT want to wear your dress for her big day. I know I wouldn't have (no offense, mom). I booked my appointment two weeks ago, added three dresses to my "favorites" that they could print out and find for me when I arrived, and then waited for my day to arrive. Finally, it was the day. I battled construction traffic but made it with time to spare. I arrived about 15 minutes prior to my set appointment time, and was greeted immediately and "checked in." I was given a goody bag, several bridal magazines, and other tidbits. I sat down at my designated dressing room and waited for my mother, step mother, future MIL, and my sister/matron of honor to show up. My consultant was Nelly, who was friendly and fun to work with. She found two of my three choices immediately but informed me that the third was on clearance and only available in a size 16. That definitely wasn't going to work. I told her I was open to trying on a few others that she happened to find. The first dress I tried on was my initial first pick. I loved, loved, loved it! I did try on about 3 or 4 others, but I didn't like them as much. My group all agreed with the first dress as well. When I had said "yes to the dress", I was given a bell to ring and make a wish... which was kind of weird, but it was kind of fun, too. We ended up taking a group photo; one serious and one "sassy" one, which included all of us wearing tiaras, veils, and posed with our hands on our hips. It was a fun way to end the appointment. This place is ideal for ladies with a limited budget, like myself. I'm pleased to say that I bought my dress (strapless, sweetheart charmeuse trumpet style in soft white), accent sash, slip, bracelet, and a necklace and earrings set all for about $510. Yeah, that's a cheap date! I haven't decided whether I'm going to do a veil or headpiece yet, but there's time to figure that out. I mainly didn't want to buy a veil for $200. Yes, you heard me- I had no idea that's the going rate for veils these days. I could make my own for wayyyyy less (and I probably will, too). Some of the jewelry/accessories are expensive as others have said, but my pieces were all reasonable. I highly recommend David'd Bridal if you're on a limited budget, or aren't hellbent on buying a dress that costs thousands. Also, if possible, book your appointment for a weekday. I came in on Friday at 2:00 p.m. and it was perfect. read more
