M
argaret Ellen Bridal is a wedding
gown boutique situated on the world-
renowned coastal highway 30A in Inlet
Beach, Florida. Margaret Ellen Bridal
strives to offer the most memorable gown shopping
experience and provide impeccable service for every
girl that enters their wooden door.
A native of Mississippi, Maggie Matthews, always
dreamt of pursuing a career involving wedding
gowns. Although she spent many years as an
elementary school teacher, her dream is now coming
to fruition as she opens her new bridal boutique
with her mother, Barbara Artman.
Margaret Ellen Bridal will be opening its doors to
all brides in early 2018. The boutique will carry a
host of well-known dress designers including Blue
Willow by Anne Barge, Blush by Hayley Paige,
Hayley Paige, Liancarlo, Marchesa Notte, Martina
Liana, and Nouvelle Amsale. Margaret Ellen Bridal
plans to host monthly trunk shows offering each
designer the opportunity to showcase their line
twice a year. Accessories will also be carried in
store and will feature designers La Gartier and Sara
Gabriel.
The team behind Margaret Ellen Bridal is
dedicated to providing old-world customer service
in which store visits are made by appointment only
and will only host one bride at a time to ensure all of
their needs are met.
“We want each bride to feel incredibly special at
their appointment,” says Matthews. “This is the
most important dress you can buy and that alone
warrants a bride to receive the most memorable
wedding dress shopping experience by providing
impeccable customer service and dedication to the
bride.”
Prior to each appointment, the Margaret Ellen
Bridal Consultant will have gathered information
from the bride about her style, vision, price point,
and any other pertinent information. This will
enable the consultant to gather a small selection
of gowns for the bride to try on and eliminates the
bride being overwhelmed with too many dresses to
choose from. Brides may also browse through the
other gowns available if they choose. Throughout
the appointment, the bride’s guests will also enjoy
sweet treats and libations while relaxing in the
comfortable sitting area.
Margaret Ellen Bridal will be located on the
second floor in the premier shops of 30Avenue,
above 30A Olive Oil Company and across from 30A
Smiles. The boutique will be open Tuesday through
Friday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and on Saturday from
9 a.m. – 4 p.m. For more information on Margaret
