Springs Bridal — Local services in Colorado Springs

SADLY this was an experience from hell! Our group of 7 woke up with excitement early in the morning to head to Colorado springs for our appointment with Springs Bridal. IMMEDIATELY upon arrival when we walked in we were greeted by Karina and an elderly lady, BOTH with total Sour Faces and RUDENESS. Erica immediately did go into how their rooms are small, they won't be able to accommodate all of us back there etc etc, this was FINE, we TOTALLY understood this. So half of us went into the dressing area to watch my daughter try on her dresses and the other half were going to look at bridesmaid dresses, however, When one of the girls asked the elderly lady, "is it okay if we take a look at these ones," the elderly lady replied back, " I can't stop you," and still never assisted any of the girls with looking at any of the dresses.. then when my daughter was trying on her dresses she did fall in love with one dress so several of us switched out with the other girls so that they can come back and look at my daughter in her dress and Karina was so rude that she walked by and shrug the Girls never said excuse me etc etc ... It was awful just awful We were all like little kids in the principal's office or something like we all felt like we were in trouble for something that we hadn't even done We were trying to be so quiet trying not to smile trying not to aggravate them or upset them... And the ONLY reason I did not express anything of how we were being treated at this time because my daughter did like one of the dresses, so, as ALL The bridesmaids refused to purchase anything from this establishment due to the way we were all being treated they went to the parking lot and started making some phone calls to some other bridal shops, LUCKILY, by the grace of God, We were able to get in with another shop, Bridal Elegance. My daughter told Karina we did have another appointment somewhere else And if she didn't find anything at the other shop he would come back for the one with her shop. We All left that shop in TOTAL AWE and disbelief and how we were all just treated!!! We then walked into Bridal Elegance and greeted with SMILES, KINDNESS AND PROFESSIONALISM!!! IT WAS LIKE SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!! And as we were expressing how relieved we were to be in their shop and greeted by all their kindness that ANOTHER group had walked in and told the other girl of their terrible experience from Springs Bridal, how ironic is that that we just left Springs Bridal with the most horrible experience and shortly after came another group with the same experience! It's a shame that this is a special day for the bride and this shop would even think to make it so bad for the bride and everyone! I told my daughter I was going to call Springs Bridal and express my discuss, my daughter's such a kind soul did not want me to do that but I told her I am going to do that and did and spoke with Karina and all Karina could say is that she can't make excuses for her face that their bridal shop is small and accommodations are limited and what I told Karina was it is not about the accommodations it was about the treatment The downright rude and disgusting treatment from the time we walked in! And obviously it wasn't just us in one day They chased out two groups within an hour of each other. I thank God we were accommodated and we were able to have a good day after all and my daughter was able to find her perfect dress. I will never refer anybody to Springs Bridal and I would hope that if you are not happy in this type of work that you find your happiness because you both ooze...

My wedding is going to be in August. And, I should mention it's a wedding on a budget! I made an appointment with both Springs Bridal and David's Bridal. I went to my Springs Bridal appointment first. They are a smaller-size store (almost like a cute little boutique), and all the women who worked there were so so so nice. The lady who helped me personally was so sweet and she seemed to really know what she was talking about, as far as wedding gowns. We picked out 2 dresses to try on first, and they were just GORGEOUS dresses, all for under 400 bucks! I was in love with one dress, but the saleslady said we should try on a "Cinderella" type of dress that she thought I would look good in. I had never thought I'd want a big ballgown princess dress, but when I tried it on, I fell head over heels for it! And the dress was under 400 dollars, and I didn't need a huge amount of alterations either (good to mention here that they have a seamstress in store, and she offers stupendous prices!!). A similar princess dress at David's Bridal sold for around 1500 bucks! I'm not about that life!! I had found the dress of my dreams for so much less! Needless to say, I cancelled my appointment at David's Bridal!

Additionally, they also had a variety of veils on sale in the store, the ones I saw ranged around at 100 bucks. I bought my mantilla veil (which normally costs a loooott more than the price I paid), and I couldn't be happier! I knew I wanted a mantilla veil since the first time I saw a picture of it on Pinterest, and I was so lucky they had one left at the store, for 80 dollars!

All in all, my purchase of my dress and veil and alterations to be done is going to value about 500 dollars. What a steal! I am absolutely in love with my dress and I couldn't have had a better bridal session with the ladies at Springs Bridal! I highly recommend this place for all brides who don't want to spend a fortune on their wedding!! They sell a variety of other types of dresses too (Prom, evening gowns, etc), plus they offer military discounts for all our service members! Couldn't say more positive things about this place, Beautiful gowns, veils, accessories...and the salespeople were patient, nice, and did not pressure you into anything! I...

Absolutely LOVE the dress I got. I'm very self-conscious, and going in to try dresses on, I thought that I was about two sizes bigger than I actually was in the end. Kali helped me figure it out and was very kind to me when i mentioned some of my insecurities in certain dresses. They stayed within my price range (which was under $500) and never tried to sell me anything outside of my price range. My dress ended up being around $300 and I was so happy! They were very pleasant and kind and welcoming, answered all of my questions, and found a great tux for my husband to wear at our wedding as well, hes never worn a Tux and was unaure how it would look as well, but he looked so good (as always :-)). I had to do very minimal alterations to my dress, and I'm so pleased with the way it looked on me. I was very confident on our special day and I love the pictures that we ended up with!! Thank you Springs bridal! 1000000% recommend to anyone! Kali (pronounced kaylee) was so understanding and professional during the trying on process, and absolutely validated how I felt and what I wanted and felt pretty in. The owner/manager of the store and Kali ordered my dress on short notice, and it was ready for me to pick up the day it came into the store. They did everything they could to rush it so that I could do my alterations in time, which took a week and put me about 4 days before my wedding.... so yeah, really short notice....
