About the Owner
Personal Bio: I grew up in Greenville, MS. My family and I vacationed on 30A and just fell in love – so much so that we all started slowly moving to the area. I am married to my husband Tyler, and we have two children, Deaton and Ella Compton. I was a teacher for 6 years in the MS Delta before opening my dream boutique, Margaret Ellen Bridal. I have made it my mission to provide every bride that enters my door the best possible experience- one that she will remember forever.
My Favorite Quote:“If you can dream it, you can do it!” – Walt Disney
When I refer another vendor, that person must possess these qualities: Diligence, Honesty, Sincerity
My Greatest Strength Is: Organization and Time Management
My Favorite Sweet Treat: Chocolate Chip Ice Cream and Shortbread Cookies
Something I Would Like People To Know About Me: I always tell my brides the experience that they will receive before they ever even enter into Margaret Ellen Bridal. I want everyone to know that the bride will receive a unique experience with the focus being on the bride. Giving each bride two hours to be the only person in the store gives them the time and clarity to make the best decision possible. We are owner run so the bride is actually working with the owner from start to finish, which I believe is so very important. This shop is my passion and I want to make each and every appointment perfect for my girls. When you become a #margaretellenbride you truly become a member of our family.
