Bridal Mart Factory Outlet & Wedding Mall Of Sacramento

I was totally impressed with the service provided. My daughter and I went to look for a prom dress for her and a wedding dress for myself. I stressed that I wanted the prom dress to also be worn for the wedding. The service we both received was above and beyond what any other bridal store in the area could offer, and we both felt that the staff was caring and personal. We ended up buying the prom dress and I will go back to look for more wedding dresses for myself at a later date due to prices and also the importance of that special prom dress as my wedding is not until October and I do have some time. I have decided that I will not go to any other bridal store because of the outstanding service I received. I also want to mention that I told the woman who was assisting me with trying on wedding dresses that I was on a tight budget and I was still treated with the utmost level of service as compared to other over-priced places in town. It was nice for once to have a consultant listen to what I wanted and to stay within those realms. more

After reading almost a chapter's worth of warnings about Bridal Mart in the book Bridal Bargains, I was weary of shopping there, but I still wanted to give it a try since they had cheaper gowns (i.e. off-the-rack/tried on my 100's of brides, last years styles or older) in a good selection of plus sizes --and since my mom was buying my gown I didn't want to put her out. So, for our very first store in our bridal gown exploration, we arrived at Bridal Mart in Rancho Cordova without an appointment on a Saturday (I know, a major no-no) -- and we were escorted right in for service! It appears that the plus-sized dresses and staff have a dedicated section of the store, so I had Danielle (her service was superb!!) all to myself. Danielle took my measurements and directed me to the section where I should begin browsing. I picked out about 10 dresses and Danielle helped me in and out of all of them. I couldn't believe that on my first shopping trip ever I found three dresses that were stylish and fit my form beautifully (slimming too) -- hard to choose! I didn't buy that day because I wanted to explore further. After visiting other stores it soon became apparent that I couldn't find the same selection and service as I had at Bridal Mart. David's Bridal had cheaper dresses, but a smaller selection of plus sizes and lousy service. So, my advice to other brides: if you are a bargain bride who is plus-sized, go to Bridal Mart for sure (and try on those strapless dresses -- you will be surprised!!). If you are looking for couture for a deal, and go to Bridal Mart expecting to find it -- shame on you for not doing your research. My advice about Bridal Mart: only buy off the rack and pay in full that day (you get a 10% discount for paying in full). After you get your dress cleaned by a cleaner you trust, get all alterations done by an independent seamstress you trust (it will be worth paying for). Pain in the ass things about Bridal Mart: no photography allowed (who are they kidding? All the dresses are knock-offs already); each dress has two prices (one is twice the other) - you have to buy a dorky membership for $30 to buy at the cheaper price (jeez, the cheap price is inflated already). Really bad thing about Bridal Mart: it is the Wal-Mart of bridal gown stores. All Bridal Mart dresses are made in China. This means that a poor underpaid Chinese laborer made your dress in horrible sweat shop working conditions for an inconceivably low low low how-can-they-survive-on-that wage. more

When I was searching for my wedding dress, I received fantastic service from Bridal Mart. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond trying to help me find the perfect dress. Unfortunately, they did not have the "perfect" dress fthat I had in my mind and I had to go somewhere else. more

The store is very spacious, and a lot of people ask you if you've gone there, but I haven't found anyone who's actually gotten their dress there yet. There's a large selection, and the prices are fair. They even have wedding accessories. If they can't find what you want/need, they are more than happy to order it. If you do have to get it ordered though, it doesn't come cheap. It's worth a look! more

This store advertises themselves as a factory/discount bridal shop. So first when you come in, they ask you about your budget for a dress. Then they ask you if you want to see the factory outlet and discount dresses or start in the boutique of dresses. If you start in the discount area, they look down on you, even though this is what they advertise as being. In the discount area, no one helps you. It is dirty. The dressing rooms are tiny. But, up in the boutique, everything is big and spacious and the sales people won't leave you alone. The prices are highly inflated and this store is a waste of time for any busy bride. more
