27 Feb Celebrating International Women’s Day 2020
The team of women behind the scenes who make dreams come true
At David’s Bridal, we celebrate women every day, and on International Women’s Day, we want to introduce you to the ones who make it all happen here. These women spearhead the work that turns special events into magical moments for our customers. In fact, 96% of our workforce is women. We are a team of friends, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, wives, aunts, and mentors. When our leaders make a decision—from digital experience to marketing to merchandising—we’re making a decision for ourselves, because we are our customer!
we are innovators
changing the game every single day through industry-leading technology, like conversational commerce and our cutting-edge color center

“Life is a journey; enjoy all of the twists and turns. There will be ups and downs. Celebrate your wins and learn from the mistakes along the way.” —Amy K., Director of Customer Experience & Product Management
we are friendly experts
dedicated to making every experience the best it can possibly be, no matter where, when, or how you connect with us

“My role model is my daughter. She’s 9, and she’s not afraid to speak up for what she wants, she doesn’t care what other people think of her, and she takes joy in little moments every day, especially if there’s sparkle involved.” —Jennifer H., Director of Total Rewards
“Do not be afraid to make mistakes; mistakes are what shape you. They make you who you are.” —Angie R, Procedure Designer, Store Operations
