David's Bridal

Has anyone been to the David's Bridal on Route 18? (I think it's in Edison or New Brunswick or that area...) I've been considering going there, but it looks kind of ...how do you say... icky from the outside.

Any experience?

No, its big inside as is the one in Union on Rt. 22.  I went to at first try on dresses but didnt care for the quality but its good to get an idea or to save money.

I went there for my dress. I had a great experience, but I knew what dress I wanted and ended up getting it. The girl there was nice and did pick out the things my mom and FMIL asked to see.

I am NOT getting my alterations there. It's a bright, clean place, with sofas and mirrors as well as a big dressing room with many stalls and extra mirrors if you don't want to parade every dress out.

They were really not helpful with bridesmaid stuff, but I hadn't made an appointment, and really wasn't looking to buy, yet.

I thought it was a decent experience... on the other hand, I got the first dress I ever tried on, so I've never been the bride looking for the dress at any other store.

I went there for my bridesmaid dresses and had made an appointment before hand. Our consultant was never around! The service was nonexistant and I had to do all of the work for her. She even lied to me about the availability of some dresses.

I went to the Freehold location the following day and it was night and day. They were so helpfull . I didnt have an appointment but was treated like I did. I even got the dresses that I was told were discontinued.

Freehold is about half an hour south of the one on 18 but I highly recommend going there instead. Its one route 9 North just south of the raceway mall.

I would go elsewhere for alteration. For a junior bridesmaid, the alterations would cost more than the dress, and they were all simple alterations.

My bridesmaids, mom and FMIL all got their dresses there.  We had appointments both times we went and got decent service but we are take charge kind of girls and probably would've ran over anyone who tried to help us more than they did anyway.  LOL  But overall we had a good experience.  I made sure to get appointments as soon as they opened both times we went and by the time we left it was definitely chaotic so if you are going to go I would definitely recommend going as early as possible.  None of my girls are getting their alterations there though.  Very pricey and they all live in Staten Island so they are going to do it local.

I was thinking of going to that one for my bridesmaid dresses.  Does anyone have any reccomendations for a David's in North Jersey?

The David's in wayne has been very accomodating and helpful - more than Paramus in my opinion.  The one on RT 22 was great until I was debating if I made a mistake and possibly wanted to change my dress - the manager was not helpful at that point and made me feel that I was stuck and that was my problem - but the Wayne store has been extremely understanding and are working with me.  I still dont have it figured out yet but I will tell you having gone from limiting myself to DB because of budget and not expanding my search - in my opinion the consultants at DB are not that helpful with suggestions based on what may look good on you like the boutiques are but if you have an idea of what you like and just want to try on a bunch of different styles it is fine.

I would also recommend the David's Bridal in Wayne, but make sure you make an appointment and if you can, try to make the appointment for a slow time.  I bought my dress there 3 months ago, and when I bought it, it was really busy and the service kinda stunk. However, when the dress came in, I went in during memorial day weekend and it was really quiet, and the ladies were wonderful.

I also recommend the DB in Wayne.  I got my dress, BM dresses, FG dresses and MOB and everything went very smoothly.  I though the ladies there were very helpful when I went to get my dress.  Like someone else said, make an appointment for a slow time, you will get more attention.

I bought my wedding dress from wayne DB too!!! When the flood happened in March my dress has just came in and got distroyed so they had to reorder everything in the store and the store was done over and it looks beatiful!! For the time being I was going to the paramus store because wayne had been closed for a while and I liked Paramus store as well! All my Bridal party got there dresses from the Paramus store because I was told the dress I wanted for them in Lilac was going to be discontinued so I didnt want to wait until wayne opened just incase the color was gone!!!! So basically I got great service in both wayne and paramus and really would recommend going there espiecally if your on a tight budget like I am!!!!!
