I'm a bridesmaid in a fairly large wedding. One of my best friends is getting married to her girlfriend, so basically doubling the amount of bridesmaids (around 14). We went in to try on dresses last week, and I was expecting it to be complete chaos as we had SO MANY girls. Our consultant (pretty sure her name was Carly) was wonderful, and the process was super painless, especially for having so many women with different body-types and tastes.
I've heard a lot of negative experiences about David's Bridal, but I've been in multiple times in the last year as a bridesmaid and always had a good experience. I think they're really listening to reviews and constructive criticism and trying to make their store better. We had a great experience.
