David's Bridal is running an extra 40% off formal and semi-formal dresses as its current headline sale, which applies automatically at checkout. This works well if you are shopping for occasion wear and want a straightforward discount without hunting for a code. Two other sales are also active: a clearance event with up to 85% off selected styles, and a selection of wedding dresses under $500.
Extra 40% off formal and semi-formal dresses. This discount applies to formal and semi-formal pieces across the site. On a $300 formal dress, for example, you save $120 and pay $180. If you are choosing between the 40% sale and the clearance event, compare the prices of the specific dresses you want; the clearance prices may be lower on some styles, but the 40% discount applies to a wider range of occasion wear.
Up to 85% off selected styles in clearance. This sale offers the deepest discount available, but only on a limited selection. The "up to" means not every item in clearance carries the full 85% reduction; work out the final price for the dress you want before deciding. If a clearance style you like is cheaper than the same dress under the 40% sale, go for clearance. Because this is a clearance event, stock is limited and sizes may be restricted.
Wedding dresses under $500. This offer picks out completed wedding gowns at David's Bridal that fall below the $500 threshold, with no additional percentage discount applied. Use this if you have found a specific dress you like and want to check whether it qualifies for this pricing, but do not expect it to save more than the 40% or clearance sales.
First time shopping at David's Bridal. If you are a new customer, signing up to the David's Bridal newsletter may unlock additional special offers and promotions beyond what is listed here.
Choose the option that brings the final price of your dress lowest. The 40% sale and clearance event do not stack; you get whichever gives you the better discount on the items in your cart. The biggest sale David's Bridal has offered in the 12 months to November 2026 was up to 85% off, which is the clearance event running now, so the current lineup represents strong value if you find your style in stock.
Apply the sale that cuts your final total most and proceed to checkout.
