| - An update thus far into my wedding gown and bridesmaids gown experience with David's Bridal. Basically this is a downgrade update.
To begin with I did not mind DB's at first and went here as an "option" when I picked out my wedding dress. I just so happened to find my dress here. Therefore my bridesmaids are taking advantage of getting 20% off their dresses and we are coordinating the bridesmaids dresses here.
After my first appointment, however, everything has gone downhill - fast. I am not going to write out a tangent of 14 paragraphs (which I could), but instead bullet point the continued problems:
1. E-mails to me about arrivals of things such as slips, bras, etc. I am emailed when they arrive, then I call to make the appointment to pick them up and then I am called not once, but twice by the inept sales people here asking me when I am going to pick up. Annoying, inconvenient to me, and ridiculous.
2. Seeing my personal "consultant" ONCE during the whole time I have picked out my dress, until now. If you're going to give me a personal consultant why aren't my appointments made to be sure she is there?
3. Bridesmaids dresses have been a nightmare. The styles of the dresses my bridesmaids ordered were NOT put into their system. Therefore when my bridesmaids went back in to actually ORDER the dresses, they had no idea which ones they needed/wanted! Also, one bridesmaid ordered a dress, and it was wrinkly as F&^% when she got it. I get it, sometimes things get wrinkly, but really?
4. All of my interactions with the people here (minus my "consultant" the FIRST time I went) have been forced and impersonal.
5. When I went in to pick up my dress the lady who was helping me seemed incredibly irritated I had forgotten to bring my own slip and bra. Um, sorry lady but I have a lot of shit going on. See the ring on my finger? I'm a BRIDE and I have BRIDE SHIT TO DO. Not to go all "bridezilla" but giving me grief over such a mundane issue should not happen.
Overall I gotta say DB's is not so good and I would probably recommended going somewhere else for your bridal needs. But now I'm stuck with them and I can't wait to be done with them.
