Our wedding was absolutely wonderful -- we're still in awe of just how smoothly and beautifully it went. No complaints, no regrets, and we are MARRIED! It doesn't get much better than that.
However, quick little word of caution of David Bridal's alterations that I wanted to share with future brides. All of my bridesmaids had DB dresses - we did "I pick the color, you pick the style" and for the most part, it was awesome. I had BMs in another state (all in different cities) while I lived and planned the wedding in a different one, and at the time, DB made perfect sense.
On the wedding day, five minutes before the ceremony, my MOH's zipper ripped. We thankfully had safety pins and an emergency sewing kit, plus my BM cousin's quick, creative thinking come to the rescue -- but this wasn't just a silly fluke! Turns out my MOH had actually decided to order a different dress two months prior, and when it came in, she noticed the zipper seemed faulty, so she asked a DB employee to zip her up. Sure enough, the zipper ripped in store, and they offered an alteration, no charge. Well, they finished the alteration just two days before the ceremony (MOH didn't tell me this, because she was freaking out and didn't want me to), and it clearly wasn't up to code, since it ripped again. She's currently working with them to get a full refund, but so far, they haven't been too helpful. My other BMs didn't have such a drastic issue, but none of us enjoyed our DB experience, even if it was less tramautic than the MOH's.
Basically, even though it seemed like a good idea, between my experience and many others I've now heard about -- I suggest staying away from DB. Try to find something else, if you can. This is the one and only thing we'd do over!
Other than that, it's a hilarious story now that MOH and I will be laughing about for years, and we had an amazing day!
