I had an unexpected great experience at David's Bridal in Dublin yesterday. It was my first time even looking at wedding dresses, and I had no intentions of buying - I just wanted to get an idea of what I liked (and take that idea to other bridal shops that I thought would have more unique/original designs). Much to my surprise, I found the dress. I'm not one to make impulse decisions, but this was just it for me. \r

I can't say enough about the help I received while at David's for three hours. Laura was my consultant, and she was very honest and helpful (giving personal advice, and reminding me to imagine my fiance and his reaction). She put me at ease, and was oh-so patient with me. I highly recommend going on a weekday, too. I was the only bride trying on dresses, so I had full range to the entire place (and they encouraged me to walk around, look in all the mirrors, etc.). I wasn't overwhelmed, and I got the attention of not only my consultant, but also the manager, Karolyn (who was great), and other consultants who also commented/offered suggestions.\r

My mom and I probably hugged Laura five times while we were there. Plus, she told me to call her anytime, even if I have a ""dumb"" question. I would highly recommend David's in Dublin to anyone looking (even if you think you aren't ready to buy, like I was!). And definitely plan to go on a weekday!
