Budget Bride Finds at David’s Bridal

David’s Bridal is very worthy of a mention when discussing wedding dresses for the budget bride. It’s probably the one bridal store that every newly engaged, bride-to-be has heard of. The nation’s largest wedding retailer has been in the wedding business for over 60 years, from a small family-owned store in Florida to over 300 stores around the USA today. Many brides these days also browse their online store. It’s a good starting point in your search for a wedding dress with its huge selection of gowns, especially when you’re trying to figure out what style of dress could be your dream wedding dress.

What We Love

Wherever you are in the USA, there’s likely to be a store close by for browsing or trying on wedding gowns. If though, you’re very far out of town and rural you can purchase a gown easily online. It’s said that 1 in 3 brides wears a David’s Bridal wedding gown, so you’ll be in good company.

Of course, the prices are phenomenal, you’ll be pushed to get more dress for your $ anywhere else. Shop one store for everything you need; shoes, veil, jewelry, underwear. Done. Bridesmaids too!

If you’re newly engaged and don’t have a clue what type of bridal gown looks good on you, visit one of their stores and try on every different style of gown. This will help you to zone in on what suits you, what feels comfortable, and what style you think will be right for your wedding venue. You can then purchase your dress confidently online knowing what looks good on you, if that’s how you prefer to purchase, can’t make it back to the store, or are waiting for a sale to start.

We especially love inclusive sizing up to a size 30!

Top Tips

If you live in a more urban location, look up all the David’s Bridal stores nearby on Yelp. Read up on each store and see which one has the best reviews. As you know with other chain stores, experiences and customer service can vary by store. Some brides may have had better experiences at some stores rather than others, it’s good to have a heads up. Be guided by what is most important to you regarding your wedding dress search and choose the location that suits.

For brides in a hurry and who need a dress quickly, there may be an option of walking in and buying a dress off the rack that you can take home that day. This is very helpful if you’re in a tight spot and other wedding dress plans have fallen through. Keep this store in mind as a backup plan if you have your dress already or plan to shop your dream dress elsewhere. Call ahead to your local David’s Bridal to enquire about off the rack stock and sizes available before you head over to shop.
