Thank you, D for all your help!

Love Bridals by D! I looked at several shops in WNY but this one has the most glitzy, gorgeous, and unique dresses. The best part is that they are customizable. After looking at several shops and trying on a dozen dresses, I ended up saying 'YES' to the very first wedding dress I ever tried on, which was here at Bridals by D. While I was initially perusing the store and also during subsequent dress fittings Betty was a pleasure to work with. She is so sweet and is honest about what will be flattering. D was equally helpful and has a great selection of dresses. I love that I was able to customize my dress and make it into the exact ballgown of my dreams (Demetrios style 1151 with added sequin tulle layer and added shoulder swags/straps). My dress turned out absolutely beautiful and I felt like a princess on my wedding day. I received so many compliments on the dress from my friends and family. My mother also got her MOB dress from here (Rina di Montella style RD2750 in navy) and it is fabulous. She loved the dress and received many compliments too. Thanks Bridals by D!!Also, to those reading reviews I would disregard the negative nancy below me. There is a reason that most designers do NOT put slits in ballgowns: because the tulle would pop out of the slit. Having also worked with Bobby, who completed the alterations on my wedding dress, I know he is very clear about what is possible and I am certain he would have informed of any risk involved. Folks, LISTEN to the advice of your seamstress/tailor!

Omg I don’t even know where to start I really wish I could leave 10 stars! As most brides do, I looked everywhere and anywhere and nothing was catching my eye at all or I wasn’t being listened to at other bridal stores. I’m from NJ and visit Buffalo frequently so I decided to look here and my first stop was D, I was in shock how many beautiful dresses they have to offer especially in such a positive atmosphere! I looked a little more and came back to D one week later and picked my dream dress. Absolutely stunning I’ve never seen a dress like mine before and with such a supportive group of ladies by my side and D and Betty being so great to me made it even better! They helped make it exactly what I wanted raising the back adding more glitter and just really making my dreams come true. I could not be happier!! I wish I could attach photos but it’s not letting me and I just picked up my dress yesterday can’t spoil the surprise yet!! But if you come to D, you’ve come to the right place I promise you that. <3 thank you again D, Betty and Bobby you guys really are amazing and you get me!! I can’t wait for my wedding just because of this dress haha!

I went to every store in Buffalo but none had what I wanted. I went back to D after all others failed because she had told me some of her dresses could be customized. D is very friendly, supportive and a self-esteem boost. She said the designer could make all the alterations I wanted no problem. I based my whole dress around these delicate Pearl straps I wanted and a slit on one side. When the dress came back from the designer the straps and slit hadn’t been added and the Pearl bodice I also wanted was not added. She said it wasn’t a problem, they wanted to add the pearls in person so they knew how many I preferred which I was fine with. She claimed her seamstress could do everything I wanted. The bodice turned out great however, when I went to put my dress on the day of my wedding, both straps popped off and I ended up having to cut off what I based my entire dress on 30 minutes before I walked down the aisle. By the time I left the church, my slit had torn and tulle was poking out the entire reception. My sister had also gone to D for her wedding dress two years ago and similar issues occurred including having the dress cut her back pretty badly and the design not matching what was agreed upon. I didn’t think it’d happen again. Overall, had they told me I couldn’t get what I wanted I would have appreciated that way more then my dress not being what I expected on my big day.Betty is amazing at D’s so if you do go I recommend getting her opinion as she’ll tell you what looks best and is plausible while D seems to just sell the dream.In response to your comments below:I did have a great experience when I was at the shop but at the end of the day, my dress (& my sisters) missed the mark on the day it mattered unfortunately.- Yes, the pearl bodice was lovely.- I asked for the slit and you told me Casablanca would make the change. When they didn't, Bobby said he didn't want to do it because he didn't think it would look good in his opinion (I loved it before it ripped), not because it would cause an issue with the dress or not work.- Yes, I wanted pearl delicate straps. You said you (your seamstress) could create these and you found and recommended the straps we ended up using. Had you thought that they wouldn't hold, then I would have preferred you saying so. I was happy when I left because the straps were attached and the slit was intact. The next time I tried it on (the morning of my wedding) this was no longer the case.

Bridals by D was amazing! I went to a lot of bridal shops to find the perfect dress, and from the moment I entered, I felt like I was being heard! I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but somehow, D knew exactly what I meant. I tried on several dresses, but the very first one was always THE dress. Throughout the whole experience, they made me feel like a princess, making sure everything fit perfectly. Last night, I received SO many compliments on my beautiful dress, and people were saying that “they felt like the dress was made for me!” I would recommend Bridals by D to any bride looking for her perfect dress!

This shop is amazing!!! We went here and instantly fell in love with D. She can hear and see the vision of what you want on your wedding day and finds the perfect dress for YOU. She is so talented and made the whole process effortless. Her dresses are extremely elegant, one of a kind, and unique. She helped me find my perfect dress, and we loved it so much that we went back for my sister. My sister found her dress and it was PERFECT, and now my mom wants to get her MOB dresses from here too.Thank you D! We love you!

Bridal by D is a fantastic store with a stunning collection.Denise was intuitive and quickly grasped the look I was aiming for. What I appreciated most was her honest feedback based on her styling experience. While every dress she chose for me made me feel beautiful, she offered valuable advice on which ones truly matched my vision or looked better, instead of generalizing how I looked in all the dresses.I was so impressed with the store that I insisted my mom check out their MOB collection before making any purchases elsewhere. They were incredibly accommodating in scheduling a quick appointment for her. She visited today, filled with anticipation! Highly recommended!

My MA didn't get reimbursed (after being promised multiple times), and she wasn't able to pay her car payment. The car got repo'd and she lost her job. We are loving under the thruway pass in Williamsville by the red roof inn. I'm at the library using the wifi to post this. Sad and homeless ex-customer. Do not recommend Dee.

I would love to say our entire experience here was terrific. We worked with Betty and D at the initial visit in June of 2022. Bobby, the seamster was also in the shop that day. My daughter tried on several dresses and then picked "the one". At that we were told "that is her dress" meaning it could no longer be ordered and obviously fit her. It was paid for, in full, and we took it home with us. April 24, 2023 we met with Bobby again, at the dress shop, for her first fitting.. My daughter had lost several pounds at this point. the dress needed to be taken in in the front and hemmed. May 8 , we went back and the dress wasnt ready. May 17 we went back and the dress no longer closed in the back, to which we were told "Bobby will fix it." I had every confidence that he would come through. We returned May 22 to see a piece of material with pearls that did not match the dress design or color was added. when I expressed my dislike in what he had done I was told, "thats all I had" When i expressed my dislike to D, I was told i was obsessing and overthinking. I left the bridal shop that day in tears caused by frustration. We purchased 3 gowns for this wedding from Bridals by D, the bride's dress and the 2 mothers. The 650.00 we paid to Bobby, for the bridal dress to no longer have the same look was obscene, and no one cared. We have since reached out and have spoken to both D and Bobby and neither will take responsibility for the dress. They blamed me and said the dress never fit in the first place which is a complete lie. It is a shame that I cannot recommend Bridals By D. My daughter looked stunning at her wedding because we took the dress to a seamtress who corrected his errors and charged me NOTHING to do so.

Bridals by D is the only place close to Toronto that carries a large selection of dresses by Demetrios. It's the only reason I had gone there go get my dress initially, but then I met Betty. She was the most lovely person. She was sweet, kind, and let me try on all the dresses that she felt matched my style. Weeks later I had the pleasure of meeting D and Bobby. They were both spectacular and Bobby did exceptional alterations to my dress!

I went shopping for a mother of the groom dress and went to Bridal by D because of recommendations from family and friends. I was not disappointed. After shopping at a few other stores before going to Bridal by D, I realized the difference in selection and quality. It was a wonderful experience. In fact, at my final fitting my girlfriend went to shop for her own mother of the bride dress. She was just as happy and found her dress that day. Happy shopping !!!!
