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
