The entire appointment felt so special and never rushed. They made what could have been an overwhelming experience so much fun and memorable. The boutique has a beautiful selection of gowns, and every person I interacted with was professional, genuine, and excited for me.

d exactly what I didn’t like about my first dress. The day was full of compliments and understanding. They were by far the best try-on experience I’ve had. I don’t think previous places really understood what I was trying to explain and they got it. Everyone was wonderful and I’ll definitely be recommending them!
I’ll start with saying both of my older sisters got their wedding dresses from Margaret Ellen Bridal. I went in with the same expectations and they did not disappoint!! Both ladies...
who helped during the process were phenomenal!! I expressed my likes and dislikes, and they somehow curated my dream dress! Exactly what I envisioned. I know Andersyn was one of the girls who helped and I feel terrible I can’t remember the other lady’s name. But they were both awesome and I can’t thank them enough!!
Literally had the BEST experience. Took my kids with me, which I was nervous about, but Hannah was amazing with them. She took them back and let them pick out dresses with me and I...
ended up saying yes to dress that one of my kids picked. It was such a nice, intimate, relaxing experience.

I was looking for. The dress I said yes to was the first one I tried on. Maggie, the owner, and Madison were amazing at answering all of my questions. The atmosphere was welcoming and professional. Changing and measurement taking can be stressful, but they made it a calm stress-free environment. I cannot recommend them enough.
There truly aren’t enough great things I could say about Margaret Ellen Bridal! From the moment I walked through the doors the experience felt so luxurious and inviting. Every staf...
f member we met was so kind and helpful. I worked mainly with Andersyn and she made me feel so calm, confident, and every single dress she put me in was perfect! The dress selection was to die for, and every single dress was made of the highest quality. I had been to other bridal shops and none of them came close to the perfect service, atmosphere, and dresses that Margaret Ellen had to offer. Not only did I find my dream dress, and veil; my mom also found her dream Mother of the Bride dress. Thank you so much Maggie, Andersyn, and Madison for everything! Ya’ll make me wish I could wedding dress shop a thousand more times🤍🤍
I truly had the best experience at MEB! This was the fourth bridal shop I visited, and it surpassed every other experience by far. Hannah was incredible!! She was so kind, attentiv...
e, and genuinely invested in making sure I had that magical moment every bride deserves. She was also very mindful of my budget, which I appreciated. I found the PERFECT dress! The entire staff was so helpful throughout the process, from taking my measurements to ensuring everything was ordered correctly. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

d they were all wonderful! Andersyn was very knowledgeable about the gowns, designers, and recent bridal trends. She did an amazing job of selecting gowns that helped me narrow down exactly what kind of dress I wanted and even found me my dream dress! I’m so thankful for Margaret Ellen Bridal and I can not recommend them enough!

e experience so easy and fun! They made me feel so comfortable and they were all so easy to talk too! I felt so welcomed the minute I walked in the door and it was very obvious they truly wanted me to find the perfect dress! They immediately pulled dresses they knew fit my style and sure enough I found the perfect dress not long after being there! They have such a beautiful selection of dresses and I am beyond thankful I chose Margaret Ellen Bridal! They are also opening a mother of the bride, so I’m sure we will be back to look for my mom! I will definitely be recommending Margaret Ellen Bridal to all my friends!
I am so grateful that I booked a last minute appointment to try on wedding dresses here. Before coming here, I was unsure if I even wanted to try dresses on. The thought of it over...
whelmed me and I was considering just ordering something simple online… but I am SO happy that I did not do that. From the moment I walked in I felt that magic and excitement that every bride should feel. It was hands down the best part of our wedding planning experience so far. Maggie went above and beyond to make sure I tried on all the dresses I was interested in and having her there felt like I had a friend helping me throughout the process, she is truly so sweet and genuine. Everything about this experience was perfect and I found my dream dress. I will remember this day forever, thank you Maggie for everything!
Where do I even begin? My daughter and our bridal party (Mother of the Bride, two aunts, and little cousins) had a truly wonderful experience at Margaret Ellen Bridal! From the mo...
ment we walked in until the moment we left, both Andersen and Maggie made us feel as though we were the only bridal group in the boutique. Their attention to detail was unmatched.
My daughter tried on 5–8 dresses, and Andersen was incredibly patient, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the process. She truly listened to what my daughter wanted and offered helpful suggestions along the way, ensuring that she felt confident and satisfied with her decision.
Thanks to their care and expertise, my daughter found the perfect dress! She is beyond excited about her choice, and we are so grateful we chose Margaret Ellen Bridal.
Great to work with! So kind and very professional! Made me feel so special! I highly recommend them!!

being overwhelmed by looking around the whole store. She helped me narrow down all types of styles, textures, and colors to find the perfect dress. The seating area for guests is a very private experience so you don't have to show your dress with other brides in the room. This is a different way to shop for dresses that every bride should experience!
I had such a wonderful experience at Margaret Ellen Bridal this past weekend! From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed and comfortable. My consultant, Anderson, was truly am...
azing to work with — she was so kind, patient, and attentive throughout the whole appointment. I didn’t go in with a specific vision for what I wanted, and she did such a great job pulling a variety of styles for me to try on. To my surprise, the very first dress she had me try ended up being the one! It was such a special moment, and I felt so beautiful in it. Finding my dress at Margaret Ellen Bridal was such a joyful and memorable experience, and I am so thankful for Anderson and the entire team for making it so special. I would recommend them to any bride-to-be!

ncredible and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to work with this incredible group of women.
Went in just to look around for my first time wedding dress shopping ever.. was nervous about prices and staying on the lower side while still loving a dress, but Hannah did an AMA...
ZING job at helping me find what I loved and what fit me best. I felt comfortable saying what I liked and didn’t like and she quickly accommodated to that. She held intentional conversation. She wasn’t pushy, but she stayed helpful and made sure I found something I loved. I also was worried in this kind of business would force a dress on you, but Hannah made sure it was what I loved before I walked out with it. AND i got a great deal!! Couldn’t have been happier with my experience. I would recommend Margaret Ellen to ANYONE! I left feeling so seen and special 🤍🤍
I truly don’t even have the right words for how incredible my experience was at Margaret Ellen Bridal. I had my appointment yesterday, and Maggie and Anderson made what felt imposs...
ible, possible — they found my dream dress in such a short timeframe and made the entire process feel easy and completely stress-free.
From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable, understood, and never once felt pressured or judged. Anderson asked me what I liked and didn’t like about each dress and somehow pulled options that matched my notes perfectly — but the best part is that the second dress I tried on was the one. She pulled it in the very first round, just from the photos I had sent beforehand. It blew me away how she knew exactly what I was looking for before ever meeting me.
Both Maggie and Anderson were so kind, professional, and genuinely excited for me — I honestly didn’t want to leave! I would recommend Margaret Ellen Bridal to anyone looking for their gown. If you want an experience that feels special, relaxed, and truly tailored to you, this is the place.

erience was the professionalism shown by her. Not once did I feel like I was pressured to buy something, and she made me feel like she truly cared that I find the perfect dress for me.
I received so many compliments and “where did you get your dress from?” on the day of my wedding. Ladies, wedding planning can be stressful, so avoid those boutiques who have a reputation of pressuring you and go to MEB.

ime to understand your vision and shows you a small selection at a time to ensure the process is efficient and effective. She took the time with each dress to find out what I did or did not love and made adjustments for the next try on based on that conversation. I truly thought this would be a long experience but somehow I found my dress within four try-ons! If you're getting married in the 30a, Santa Rosa beach area, I would highly recommend booking an exclusive appointment!
Margaret Ellen Bridal is an absolutely beautiful store, with even more gorgeous associates who made dress shopping a stress free, and fun experience. I was very nervous walking int...
o my first ever bridal appointment - worried I would feel uncomfortable or pressured, and my experience was the exact opposite.
Maggie, my stylist, was the kindest soul, who made me feel right at home, listened to me regarding style/budget, and was able to understand the exact vision I had. To my disbelief (since I consider myself picky), Maggie was able to find me the most perfect and unique dress. I had nothing but the best experience with Margaret Ellen Bridal and would 100% recommend it to anyone shopping for their special day!!
Thank you again Maggie and the rest of the team, I am so grateful to have had such an exceptional experience. You are sincere, dedicated, and genuine professionals who excel at making wedding dreams come true!

de me feel at ease and helped with the overwhelming feeling. I went in with a vision of exactly what I wanted and ended up with a completely different dress. She had such a great selection! I had the absolute best experience surrounded by my family and friends and am so thankful Maggie was able to provide that. I hate all the attention on me and she made the experience so perfect that I genuinely enjoyed wedding dress shopping. You should absolutely buy your dress here!!!! I wish I could go wedding dress shopping here every week.

My wedding dress is so beautiful.
When our family went to 30-A for vacation shortly after our daughter got engaged, it seemed a perfect opportunity for her to shop for her gown since we were all together. I was hap...
pily surprised that we were able to easily book an appointment, and we felt warmly welcomed when we met our stylist, Hannah. Hannah had asked great questions before our appointment to learn about what the bride was looking for, as well as to understand the whole vision for the wedding itself. She had thoughtfully curated a few dresses to help the bride really narrow down what she wanted, all of them within our price range. Within an hour, we were celebrating with champagne because she found "the" dress! We were all so relieved and happy for her to have found her dress on her first shopping experience, and thankful that we (mom and sister) got to be a part of it, since we don't live in the same city. Hannah was a joy and made the entire experience so relaxing and fun! No one else was in the boutique, so it was very intimate and nothing about it was stressful. I would highly recommend Margaret Ellen Bridal to any brides to be and their families who might be vacationing in the 30-A area!
