About Amanda

For Amanda Ritchey, bridal has never been simply about finding a beautiful dress. It’s about understanding the woman wearing it.

With nearly two decades of experience in bridal fashion, Amanda has developed an instinct for silhouette, proportion, detail, and - perhaps most importantly - how a bride wants to feel.

Her approach is personal and refreshingly honest: listen first, style thoughtfully, and never lose sight of the woman underneath the gown.

That philosophy has shaped Amanda Ritchey Bridal Loft from the beginning. Every designer is chosen with intention, every gown is considered through a stylist’s eye, and every bride is encouraged to explore beyond what she thought she was looking for.

Amanda remains closely involved in the boutique and its creative direction, from curating the collections to styling brides and developing Charlie Autumn Signature, her custom bridal collection.

Our Boutique

Located in Annapolis, Maryland, Amanda Ritchey Bridal Loft is a thoughtfully curated bridal boutique created for brides who want something beyond the expected.

Our collection brings together exceptional designers, distinctive silhouettes, beautiful fabrics, and fashion-forward details, with gowns selected for their craftsmanship, fit, and point of view. From modern and understated to romantic, dramatic, and unexpected, every gown earns its place on our racks.

But what truly defines our boutique is the experience. Bridal shopping should feel personal, relaxed, and genuinely exciting. Our stylists take the time to understand you, guide you honestly, and help you discover what feels most like yourself - whether that means finding the perfect gown from one of our designers or creating something entirely your own.

For nearly two decades, Amanda Ritchey has helped brides navigate one of the most memorable fashion decisions of their lives. That experience shapes everything we do: a beautiful space, an intentionally curated collection, and thoughtful styling that always begins with the bride.
