Yes it’s true, some people love David’s Bridal, and others hate them. Since they have more than 300 stores throughout the country and have aisles of wedding gowns and dresses in just about every style imaginable, David’s Bridal has been labeled as the “The Wal-Mart of Weddings”.Small independent bridal salons aren’t happy with their competitor. Over the past two years many salons were forced to close their doors because they just simply could not compete, whereas, David's Bridal has opened 20 stores over the past year. The brand's budget-friendly reputation appears to be paying off.
Let’s face it, with the economy the way it is, most brides will not spend $2,000 plus on a gown they’re only going to wear once. The salon offers unbeatable prices on a wide selection of gowns, starting at $299. How are they able to sell gowns at this price? Instead of high-end silk, they use fabrics such as satin, chiffon, charmeuse and lace, which equal a huge savings for budget conscientious brides. Not to mention that your bridesmaids, flower girls and mothers will receive a discount on their purchases as well.
If you shop at David’s Bridal, you can get so many of these details taken care of in one fell swoop. They have a nice selection of all the accessories you will need for your big day, from the slip, shoes, veils, gloves, clutches, tiara, and jewelry. Wait! I’m not done. They also offer a line of wedding accessories such as flower baskets, ring pillows, invitations, personalized aisle runners and more.
Their online site offers a “Virtual Dress Rehearsal” where you can dress your wedding party in different dresses and colors until you achieve your desired look.
Don’t knock David’s Bridal until you’ve actually gone inside and have tried on several gowns. You might be surprised and find your dream gown and all the trimmings in one location at a reasonable price.
