5 Stars – Absolutely Exceptional!
From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing. The professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every interaction. My daughter's wedding dress exceeded all expectations. She felt truly special and supported throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for elegance, expertise, and a team that genuinely cares, this is the place. Highly recommend!
Loved loved loved my dress from Margaret Ellen Bridal. I do not know how I lucked out with Margaret, herself, helping me pick out my dream dress. What I loved most about this experience 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.
Margaret Ellen Bridal boutique store was stylish and they had a wonderful selection of beautiful and high quality dresses. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The associate took time to understand what I was looking for and helped pull some amazing options. I found, purchased, and walked out with an amazing dress all within an hour during their sample sale.
Truly cannot recommend Margaret Ellen enough for finding my dress as a Bride! Maggie and her team were beyond helpful and made it feel like I was the only bride in the world. This needs to be every brides first stop and it is WORTH THE TRIP! We traveled out of state to come and find my dress here and I am so beyond thankful that we did!! 10/10 and we will be recommending this place to every Bride we know in the future!
Where to begin, I could not recommend Margaret Ellen Bridal more !! This day was absolutely the best day of my life thus far, and if I could relive it forever, I would. Andersyn was the sweetest and so knowledgeable, she had dresses picked out for me that were all stunning and completely my style! She made me feel so comfortable, cared for, and was such a joy to be around I could not stop smiling ( & happy crying). My family and I got to share this experience together and it was so special ! I highly highly recommend MEB to anyone in the area 🤍
Maggie, The girls & Shop completely blew my Expectations out of the water!! From the moment we entered to the time we left!! Im a person with alot of anxiety and had ZERO clue with what I wanted. Maggie made sure I felt comfortable and gave me all the options. She was patient, kind and loved to laugh with you! You can tell they all loved helping brides find their dream wedding dress. I cant say enough nice things about this shop and the experience I had. I will remember it forever.
THIS MUST BE THE PLACE! WOW what an incredible experience as a bride, this bridal store absolutely made this experience so special! Maggie and her staff are amazing at taking the time 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 into 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!
Margaret Ellen is the best bridal experience in the Florida panhandle by far. If you’re looking for a “needle-in-a-haystack” kind of dress and want dedicated, hands-on consultants look no further! Maggie personally went above and beyond to ensure I found the dress of my dreams and created the most amazing experience possible. Everything about this store is magical and I have no doubt they can help any girl find the perfect gown for her big day. Make Margaret Ellen your FIRST stop!
I had such a great experience at Margaret Ellen Bridal! Maggie and her team were awesome and so helpful throughout my appointment. I was unsure of what I wanted prior to my appointment and Maggie did a great job of pulling a variety of dresses, all while being very respectful of my price range. I highly recommend going to MEB to find your dream dress!
Maggie is the best!!!! My family and friends were all home for Christmas break last year and she squeezed us in so that we could all do it together. From the very beginning, she made 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.
If you are thinking about booking an appointment here, do it!! While on vacation, I last minute made an appointment and I couldn't be happier that I did. Maggie and Hannah made my experience of saying yes to the dress absolutely amazing!
Maggie and Hannah are the BEST!!!!! I just found my perfect dress this past weekend and Maggie did an incredible job, we tried on a lot of different styles just to see what I was wanting and she did an amazing job picking out dresses before hand. The dress I ended up picking was one that she chose based on the Pinterest board that I sent and they knocked it out of the park. They are not only so talented are their job but they are the sweetest people, I couldn’t recommend them enough!
This was the most fun experience that I got to bring my family along for and the girls at MEB made it feel like I was trying on dresses in my own living room! This was the one and only bridal salon I went to and they exceeded my expectations!
Maggie was AMAZING!! It was my first time trying on dresses, so she used my Pinterest board as a starting point & got me into every style I was considering. Maggie listened to everything I had to say about each dress so we could narrow it down, & she even offered ideas for customizations to make the dress exactly what I envisioned. I am so grateful for her kindness & dedication, & I am so happy I said yes to the dress!!
I had a wonderful experience at Margaret Ellen Bridal. From the second I walked in the door, I was greeted warmly and had personalized attention. Maggie, in particular, was a very gracious attendant and patiently helped me fit into the same dress three times so I could include my family on FaceTime in the decision. I never felt rushed. The selection of dresses were perfect with a wide variety of styles and prices. Highly recommend a wedding dress experience with MEB.
I loved Hannah so much she was the sweetest and made me feel so comfortable. She was so helpful and patient because I knew I was going to be indecisive. I walked out with my dream dress! Such a beautiful place and their sample sale is awesome. Totally recommend every bride in the area try Margaret Ellen Bridal 🤍
Margaret Ellen Bridal was the best choice I could make for finding the wedding dress of my dreams! Their staff is highly responsive, gracious, and always professional. There wasn't a question that seemed too silly. I sincerely felt welcome and that they were truly interested in helping me find the dress. I wholeheartedly recommend Margaret Ellen Bridal to any bride!
First, this bridal shop is stunning! Maggie helped me find the perfect dress as someone who had no idea what they were looking for she really spent the time to narrow down the right option for me and consider the way my body is. Making me feel like the most special bride!! Thank you so much Maggie!! I will definitely recommend this place to EVERYONE!! 🤍
I had such a wonderful experience with Hannah. She was so kind and helpful, and showed me such beautiful options. I was so indecisive about what I wanted in the beginning, but she found me my DREAM wedding dress and I couldn’t be more grateful! Definitely recommend to anyone <3
Had a wonderful experience at this salon. It was very clean and beautiful and many gowns to choose from. The girls were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They were very patient with me as I tried on several gowns. Highly recommend!
My experience with Margaret was amazing, my entire appointment to choose my dress was private, focused on me and with the best advice.
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 happily 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!
There are truly no words that can describe this incredible experience! Maggie made all my dreams come true! She made the entire process stress free and goes above and beyond to make sure you find the most perfect dress! You can tell she loves what she does and she is SO good at it! I traveled from Mississippi to come here and it was worth every second! Cannot recommend Margaret Ellen Bridal enough, you will find your dream dress!!
I could not have asked for a better experience! Hannah was so kind and patient. I never felt rushed or pressured through the entire process. The seating was comfy and the room was elegant for all of us to enjoy the experience! They carried the designer of my dreams which drew me to them ! Of course, the champagne was an added and welcomed bonus!
Hannah was SO helpful throughout the entire process. She made me feel comfortable, confident, and ultimately helped me find *the* dress. Margaret Ellen Bridal was stunning and such an amazing atmosphere. You can tell that they truly care about your experience in every detail of their shop, process of finding the dress, and interactions with their team. I didn’t expect to love the experience as much as I did.
Working with Maggie was truly the best experience. She gave me her honest opinion on a few dresses, which I REALLY appreciated but also hyped me up. She worked so well with the style I was loving and we played around with a lot of different ideas. This was such an intimate and wonderful experience, I would recommend them to anyone.
Hannah was absolutely fabulous in helping my daughter find her wedding day dress! So patient and helpful. I would highly recommend her or Maggie to help your bride in their special day!
I can't begin to express how wonderful my experience was at MEB. Not only did Hannah help me find the dress I didn't even know I was looking for, but she made me and my family who came along feel so comfortable, and special. Thank you MEB, and Hannah for turning our "just looking" experience in to an amazing beginning of my wedding planning!
My experience at MEB was AMAZING! I had the pleasure of working with Maggie, and she pulled so many dresses that I loved based on the pictures I had previously shown and what I liked during my appointment. She was so knowledgeable and helped guide me through picking "the dress" because I had a few contenders I really loved. MEB also had the most stunning selection of unique, modern, and high-quality dresses.
I love my experience here! I was super nervous, because I wasn’t loving much of what I saw online and just didn’t know what to expect. Hannah put me at ease, met me where I was, and honestly just was a true friend through it all. Can’t recommend her enough!
ME Bridal has quality dresses and VERY genuine consultants. Hannah helped me find my dress and immediately helped narrow down the dress styles I was stuck between. The entire experience was great and I never felt pressured or unheard. You won’t regret making an appointment here!
We had excellent service and chose a gorgeous gown!
Margaret Ellen Bridal was simply amazing!! We had the pleasure of working with Hannah. She pulled dresses of all sorts and really listened to things I liked and didn’t like about each dress until she pulled THE dress. It truly was the best experience!
I had the absolute best experience at Margaret Ellen Bridal. I felt very heard and respected while trying to find my dream dress. Maggie was so incredibly helpful. She allowed me to vocalize my wishes and what I didn't like about dresses. I found my dream dress at Margaret Ellen Bridal!
Maggie made the entire dress shopping experience wonderful!!! She remembered my inspo pics I had sent in, listened to my wishes, and picked dresses that were exactly what I was looking for! Would recommend to everyone :)
I am beyond blown away by the experience that I had at Margaret Ellen! Everyone was so kind and welcoming, but I have no idea where to start about Elena! She was amazing and my biggest fear was not finding a dress in time of all that I have going on. I struggled knowing what dress that I wanted and I voiced that, but somehow Elena knew exactly what I wanted. She helped me find my dream dress and I can’t wait for my wedding day because it was an absolute dream spending the time with her!
I had such an amazing experience at Margaret Ellen Bridal! Elena was so kind and helped me find the dress of my dreams. It was truly the bridal experience that I have always dreamed of :)
I didn't plan on finding my dress in my hometown, but had such a special experience at Margaret Ellen Bridal! We were the only appointment in the location and Maggie did such a great job at capturing my loose interpretation of what I wanted and finding the perfect dress. She shipped it up to NYC for me and offered alteration places as well. Couldn't recommend more!
Hannah was so awesome and helpful. She made my dress shopping experience special - the shop is elegant and welcoming! A perfect place to say yes to the dress.!
The BEST experience at Margaret Ellen! Elena, one of the consultants, helped me find my dream dress! She made me feel so comfortable and made the experience super fun. I sent in some inspiration photos of what I was looking for and when I arrived she already had multiple dresses selected for me that she thought I would love! One of those even ended up being my dream dress! HIGHLY recommend going to Margaret Ellen!!
If I could give Margaret Ellen Bridal 1000 stars, I would! I had heard only the best things about this shop and it still exceeded all of my expectations. Because of the store's reputation, this was the first (and only) bridal shop that I went to. Maggie and Lindsay took my vision and pulled the exact dress that I imagined myself in. Even though I was set on the first dress I tried on, they pulled more dresses of both differing and similar styles to ensure that it was THE dress. This meant so much to me as they easily could have exerted less energy during my appointment and sent me on my way. It is so evident that they care about their customers and I am so blessed to have spent that once-in-a-lifetime experience at Margaret Ellen Bridal!
Such a wonderful and fun experience at the most beautiful bridal shop! Elena was so amazing and picked out some perfect dresses to try on and was so professional! I said Yes to the dress!
These ladies are MAGIC!!! I absolutely love them and their lovely shop. I walked in not expecting to find the dress for me, especially since this was the first place I went in my dress search, but my goodness these wizards had something I didn’t even know I needed in my life and I felt like a dang GODDESS!!! Elena is a PRO, I felt so beautiful it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life!!!
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!! I went to 5 stores total (1 in San Diego, 3 inJacksonville, and then here) and this was by far the best one. They have such a wide range of dresses, that were honestly nicer quality AND more affordable than any other place I went. I was able to ask if they had certain dresses I wanted to try on, and they already had them all pulled by the time I got there!
If you are a picky bride like myself then keep reading! I had been to 7 bridal shops prior to visiting MEB ( yes SEVEN!) At MEB I was instantly impressed by the location, staff, and dress selection. I was especially impressed with Hannah! She was so attentive to my likes and dislikes and ensured that I had the best experience I could have imagined! If I would have gone to MEB from the start then I would have saved myself lots of time.
The BEST bridal store. MEB requested pictures of dress styles I liked before my appointment. When I arrived, they had dresses already pulled for me and the first one I tried on was my "yes" dress. All the ladies were so kind and helpful!
I cannot recommend Margret Ellen bridal enough!! 10/10 service and my dress is literally my exact budget and it was a whole amazing experience.
Margaret Allen Bridal made finding my dream dress a breeze! Elena was fantastic and listened so well to all of my wishes. I will be telling any and all future brides to visit MEB. I cannot wait to see my dress in July and get to wear it in October!
WOW!! I don’t even know where to start this review because everything about this shop is perfect. First, they had recently moved to a new location and it is ~such a vibe~ It is so beautiful and chic!! For the appointment, they play your favorite music and give everyone some bubbly which made the appointment relaxing and fun!! I had Elena helping me try on gowns for the first time and she was so sweet and walked me through the whole appointment listening to my feedback and finding which dress I should try on next. They ask for you to fill out some info prior to the appointment with budget, styles, etc. and I love that they paid attention to it - I had sent a picture of one dress that was out of my budget and Elena asked me if I still wanted to try it on or not instead of just putting me in it. They have a really great selection of gowns and I ended my finding my dress :) And to top it off, Maggie sent the sweetest handwritten note to me after I found my dress. Overall, I cannot recommend this shop enough.
I had an amazing experience here!! I was a little nervous because I had never tried any wedding dresses on before, but they made the process so lovely and enjoyable. Elena was so helpful and pulled the PERFECT dresses based on the style that I was wanting! They had the most gorgeous dresses and I left having found the one for me!🤍🤍 I loved the entire ambience from the decor to the champagne to the music! I highly recommend coming here to find your dream dress!
Absolutely amazing experience! First and only bridal shop I went to and already said yes! They made me feel comfortable and at ease; helping me to narrow down dresses. Such a wonderful and amazing team! I can't wait for my wedding day!
I had the most amazing experience at Margaret Ellen! Elena & Maggie were so sweet and attentive! They made sure I felt and looked my best in my wedding dress. I cried in my dress when I first put it on and I blamed the music that was playing so they changed it to 2000’s hits for me!! Seriously, I can’t say better things and not to mention how beautiful the new location is. Definitely go to them for your wedding dress you won’t be disappointed!
okay I would love to gush about my dress but I cannot pass up this opportunity to brag on sweet Maggie!! Not only is her bridal store IMMACULATE, she is the most down to earth, genuinely kind and beautiful person I’ve ever met. I only spent 2 hours with her yet I feel like I’ve known her forever! She took my dress inspo, ran with it and the outcome was something better than I could have ever asked for. I am super grateful to have chosen her to help me with such a special day. I will always recommend Margaret Ellen Bridal, you will truly regret it if you don’t go there. The dress options are beautiful and endless. The employees are wonderful! As soon as I walked in, the employees were so helpful and just so happy to accommodate my crew and I. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted but I knew what I didn’t want and somehow Maggie knew exactly what to grab despite all my indecisiveness. Did I mention I’m 4 1/2 months pregnant? Yes! And that wasn’t a problem for these bridal pros. She knew exactly what I needed/ didn’t need and gave really helpful insight for all the future measurements. Ladies, don’t let being pregnant and dress shopping scare you away. You got this, you can do it. Just know it it’ll be 10x better if you go to MEB. I am so so grateful to be part of the MEB bridal family.
Maggie and Madison were amazing to work with! I made an appointment to try on dresses while on vacation to Panama City. It was special because both my family and my fiancé's family were there to watch me try on dresses. It was important to me that everyone was included in this moment. During my appointment, I was the only bride in the store, which I didn't truly appreciate until I was there! Such a huge perk. I was able to browse freely and not worry about other people. Madison was able to focus all of her attention on me since they only have one appointment at a time. I didn't think I would actually pick my dress on my first appointment, but I fell in love! Maggie was able to help me make adjustments to my dress and order it customized. Since I was from out of town, the dress was shipped directly to my front door. The whole process was amazing, and I highly recommend visiting this bridal shop!
I had the most amazing experience at Margaret Ellen Bridal. The day was perfect! Maggie made be feel so at ease and comfortable. The process was perfect! I am so in love with my dress. I didn't want to take it off. Highly recommend!
I went to Margaret Ellen Bridal to find my wedding dress and loved the experience! I live in Colorado and my mom in Ohio, we were vacationing in 30A and took the opportunity to be able to shop for one together. I had set up appointments here and another place but cancelled the one at the other shop right when I got off the phone with MEB. They made me feel more than comfortable just even on the phone inquiring about my wedding and dress ideas! I knew I didn’t want to go anywhere else. I also loved that the whole shop is just you and whoever you bring for the whole appointment time. It eases a lot of anxiety!
Cut to the appointment, I had never put on a wedding dress before. I had little to no idea what I wanted and was having a hard time expressing my likes/dislikes in the moment. They were all so pretty, just didn’t feel like me! Hannah was more than patient and just kept putting me in dresses involving the small ideas I would give her. We found the one! My wedding was about 5 months away at the time and it worked out perfectly. The team was very informative and helpful the entire way. Even offering to find reputable alteration places for me in Colorado. I would go back here without hesitation and refer all my friends and family!
Maggie, Hannah, and Madison helped me pick my dream dress! They were so friendly and kind. They listened to what I wanted and did not disappoint! I’m so so happy to have found them.
WOW! Margaret Ellen Bridal caught me so off guard in the best possible way! On a whim, I made my first bridal salon appointment while on vacation and walked away with the dress I didn't know I needed. Madison was incredible as she translated my like preferences and critiques to lead me to the perfect dress. Come with an open mind and let these ladies guide you to the dress you were destined to wear!
MEB was hands down the most amazing wedding dress experience I had! Maggie was so professional and the one-on-one bride experience was the best feeling ever! It was easily one of the best parts of wedding planning! So thankful I found my dream dress at MEB!
