    Wonderful Selection of Dresses!

    Fantastic selection of dresses and a beautiful boutique space. They also carry a nice range of sizes - I wear a size 14 in wedding gowns and I was able to fit in so many of their samples! Wedding dress shopping can be overwhelming with choices, but the stylists make the process so easy.

    Found my dress with the help of kai

    I went to AR Bridal last weekend as my first wedding dress shopping experience. Kai seamlessly introduced me to the process of finding a gown and what to look for. She pulled beautiful gowns that were exactly what I asked for but we felt like we hadn't found "the one" yet. Kai knew exactly what I meant and what I was still missing and pulled the most gorgeous gown I have ever seen. As soon as I put it on, I knew this was it. After a couple more try-ons, I SAID YES TO THE DRESS! I am typically a very indecisive person. So I had scheduled another bridal shop appointment later in the day. AR Bridal paid for my cancellation fee and I spent the rest of the day celebrating and looking at the pictures from the dress appointment. The entire experience was amazing and I am obsessed with my dress! I huge thank you to Kai and the team at AR Bridal!

    Amazing selection of classic and trendy gowns

    I loved my experience at Amanda Ritchie Bridal Loft in Annapolis MD. Logan was an amazing stylist who took my reference pictures and found my dream dress. This was the first and only bridal shop I visited because I found the one! The loft in annapolis is a beautiful space to bring your crew for dress appointments and the experience was so fun.

    the dress experience every bride deserves!

    I can't speak highly enough of Amanda's Bridal Boutique, particularly their Annapolis location. My journey to find the perfect wedding gown had been quite a rollercoaster, with numerous disappointments at various dress shops. Being a plus-sized bride, it was disheartening to encounter places that either lacked options for my size or had employees that were not helpful when it comes to fitting a curvy gal!

    At Amanda's, however, everything changed. The experience was nothing short of refreshing. Not only did I find my dream wedding gown, but my mom also discovered her stunning mother-of-the-bride dress there. What set Amanda's apart was the way they made me feel from the moment I walked in. It's not easy for a plus-sized bride to feel worthy of that fairytale dress shopping experience, but Amanda's team made me feel like I truly deserved it.

    Their collection of dresses was impressive, and the consultants were incredibly helpful. I never felt rushed or during my fittings, and their genuine effort to make me feel like a princess was truly heartwarming. Amanda's goes above and beyond to cater to every bride, ensuring that everyone can have their moment to shine and feel like royalty.

    I am forever grateful to Amanda's for providing not just a dress for myself and for my mom, but an unforgettable experience that made me feel beautiful and confident on my special day. I cannot recommend this business enough for their exceptional service and commitment to making every bride feel cherished and celebrated.

    Incredible Customer Service!

    Words cannot describe the level of professionalism and quality of the stores customer service as well as a wide variety of dresses. I came to Amanda in search of a bridal gown, I had tried on over 100 wedding dresses and just could not find "the one." I was able to show Amanda my favorites and she went through the store and tailored her selections based off of that. Every dress she brought had a feature that I was looking for. Additionally, I appreciated the price transparency as I found in other stores I would feel pressured to make purchases so that the staff could get commission. While Amanda made sure that the dresses she gave me was within budget, she was always transparent on the price of the dress and never tried to sell me on something out of that range. Overall I am so grateful I decided to come into this store and I have full trust in Amanda in meeting all my wedding dreams come true. I highly recommend this store to any soon-to-be bride!

    Wonderful!

    Amanda helped me find the perfect dress for my wedding! I wasn’t sure what style would look best on me, and she showed me some amazing options. She brought out a dress at the end that wasn’t what I had expected to like but absolutely fell in love with! She had great taste and steered me in the right direction. I would highly recommend her!

    Patient and Professional

    Sara was wonderful!! I was looking for a wedding dress with 5 months until my wedding. Sara listened to what I wanted in a dress, pulled beautiful dresses, and did not rush me into making a purchase. This was the first place I went and wasn't sure if I was ready to commit to the dress I found. Sara put no pressure on me and said I could think it over and to call back if I'd like to buy it. I went to a couple other bridal stores after who rushed me and tried to pressure me into buying a dress that day. I called Amanda Ritchey's store back and asked if I could try the dress on again. They let me come in again try the dress on and buy it. All the girls there were super friendly and helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend going here!!

    Wonderful Experience

    I’m so glad I stumbled upon Buxom Bridal at Amanda Ritchey Bridal. Sam couldn’t have been a better consultant. She saw pictures of what I’ve liked from other places as well as my reactions on what she gave me to try. She read between the lines of what I didn’t say to find me the dress. She was super kind and friendly, didn’t judge me for anything, and definitely felt like a friend trying on dresses. I highly recommend this bridal boutique!

    Beautiful Work!

    Due to COVID, my dress had to stay at AR for almost 2 years. They kept it safe and when it came to finally doing alterations everything was good to go! Anne added sleeves on my dress and did a beautiful job! They also took care of the tux orders. I can't thank them enough for helping me find my dream dress!

    Incredible selection, friendly staff.

    I'm not kidding when I say I must have tried on close to 200 dresses. I had no idea what I wanted to wear, just not what I didn't want to wear. Over time I narrowed it down to wanting a cool back detail, buttons, and a dress that had either no pattern or was only pattern - no half and half.

    Amanda Ritchey had a wide range of dresses and styles, which was especially helpful when I wanted to try on dresses again that I had seen and thought might fit the bill. Sara especially was incredibly helpful, pulling dresses and intuiting what I might be interested in. When I came in a second time to try on two dresses that I was intrigued by and shared an idea of a third, Sara found the one. I didn't cry or anything like that but as soon as I put it on, there was definitely a "Oh. Yes. This."

    And then when COVID happened and my wedding was pushed back a year and my dress came in, I got to try it on again. Yup, still, "This." And then when it finally came time to take my dress home, I loved it just as much as I did the first time I tried it on.

    Amanda Ritchey was so helpful and their wide offerings was exactly what I needed to find the dress that made me feel most like me, but elevated. Thank you! (Pictures to come.)

    Amazing Selection and Staff!

    Amanda Ritchey was the only place I looked at wedding dresses, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. My dream dress was actually the very first one I tried on, but there was never any pressure or rush. Sara was the perfect consultant - equally personable and great at pulling dresses that really captured my personality! Each time I was in (initial appointment, dress inspection, fittings, etc.), I felt like I was catching up with girlfriends rather than at a wedding dress store, and it made the entire process that much more enjoyable! One note I will make is to confirm everything is taken care of when you pick up your dress. At my final fitting, some buttons were loose and needed to be tacked. Unfortunately it didn't get done and I didn't realize it until getting into my dress on wedding day. Thankfully a non-issue for me, as my photographer was able to get a few stitches thrown in before I finished getting dressed!

    Loved my wedding gown!

    Everyone at Amanda Ritchey Bridal made my wedding dress shopping experience so easy and fun, even through Covid! My stylist listened to what I was looking for and found me dresses that were more beautiful than I could've imagine. They do all the alterations in house and it was worth every penny! (they stayed within my budget). My mom and sister even enjoyed my experience with them!

    Amazing Experience!

    Amanda Ritchey Bridal & Beauty is a top notch bridal shop! I had a wonderful experience with Amanda and Anne, who completed my alterations. Their expertise and help with selecting a gown but not being too pushy to make a purchase made things so easy! I fell in love with my dress and with the service! I would highly recommend Amanda Ritchey for bride and bridesmaids gowns!

    Beautiful shop & fantastic service!

    I had a wonderful experience at Amanda Ritchey Bridal. The shop is beautifully decorated and the displayed gowns are incredibly gorgeous. As soon as I walked in, I knew I would find my dress here. I went into her shop unsure as to what style wedding dress I was looking for, but Amanda quickly helped me narrow down my choices and found me the most stunning gown. I could not have asked for a better dress shopping experience!

    Fantastic Bridal Salon with Selection in All Sizes

    Buxom Bridal by Amanda Ritchey made this plus bride feel like the most beautiful woman in Baltimore. At a plus size 5'2", I didn't think I'd be able to find anything pretty. I went to the big box store and nothing looked right on me. I ended up crying in the dressing room. Buxom Bridal by Amanda Ritchey was a pleasant surprise. The store had beautiful selection of dresses in sizes that I could try on. I actually found several dresses that looked lovely on me. The team at the store was spectacular. Everyone was kind and helpful. I'd recommend this store to anyone.

    Amanda is the best!

    So my first appointment there was a mixup and the dress I chose ended up being discontinued. Amanda came in specifically to work with me and make sure I found the perfect dress. I ended up loving the dress she chose for me so much and I can’t imagine it any other way. I highly recommend their shop and team!

    Amazing Experience!

    From the moment you walk in, you can see and feel that this bridal salon is magical! The store is beautiful with a large selection of bridal and bridesmaids dresses and accessories. The staff are all very attentive and we never felt rushed or pressured as I did at other stores I visited.
    Amanda E. sat with me and spoke for a bit about what my dream dress would look like. I had a specific style and designer in mind that I couldn’t locate anywhere. They had it here! The one I had my heart set on didn’t look as great on me as it did on the model, of course, but Amanda had also pulled a few other dresses within my budget she thought I might like as well. Each one was better than the last! The fourth dress I tried on was “The Dress”, and yes, I cried. My MOH cried. Amanda E. cried! She was truly vested in finding exactly what I was looking for.
    From that moment until the day before the wedding when I picked up my dress, the process was completely stress-free. I did my fittings and alterations with Anna right in the store, and during each visit, the staff were so supportive and full of knowledge and suggestions.
    I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and can’t thank them, especially Amanda E. And Ann’s, enough for the amazing experience I had!

    Gorgeous dresses and amazing service!

    I had the most amazing experience with Amanda Ritchey Bridal!! I had been to several bridal salons prior to coming here, and there was no comparison. When I arrived, they already had dresses pulled for me and were super organized. I did have a slight issue during my final fitting when the seamstress brought the wrong dress; however, the problem was promptly solved thanks to the employees at Amanda Ritchey. I felt absolutely gorgeous in my dress on my wedding day. I would 100% recommend Amanda Ritchey!!

    Better than I could have ever expected!

    Trying on dresses was the most anxiety provoking part of planning my wedding! The ladies at Amanda Ritchey were incredible! They were so kind to me and my family and made me feel amazing. I thought I knew what I wanted in a dress so they pulled those designs for me, but the whole time the ladies were also listening to my feedback and thinking of other options. I fell in love with “my dress” which happened to be one I would have never picked on my own. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!

    Hands down THE BEST!

    My very first wedding dress shopping experience was here. I went in with absolutely no vision and just looking to try on silhouettes to see even just what shape I wanted. Amanda E was my consultant and she was just wonderful! She was great at not overwhelming me and helping me walk through the different styles. I didn't find my dress that day because I just wasn't ready yet. I've been to several other places since, and no other place has quite the same extensive and diverse selection in plus size dresses as Amanda Ritchey. Fast forward 3 weeks and I finally select my dress after a very extensive search that landed me in a different state even! I loved the people and my consultant at AR so much , that when I did finally find my dress, I called Amanda and ordered the dress through her! I was just so impressed from my first visit and she even does some of the alterations herself! Sara was also amazing and came in on her day off so I could see the dress and was there for every fitting afterwards. Wonderful and helpful as well! You're in phenomenal and experienced hands at this store! Highly Recommend!

    Amazing experience

    Amanda and her staff were amazing. I went in not having a clue of what I wanted and being 12 weeks pregnant. They were so kind. Pulled a bunch of dresses that would look good with my body type and would work 2 months postpartum.

    Fantastic, even though I didn't get my dress there!

    I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Amanda Ritchey Bridal. Early in my dress search, I had a WONDERFUL appointment there, and while I didn't end up purchasing my dress from AR, I did go back for accessories. AR was the ONLY bridal salon I visited that treated me like gold even though I hadn't purchased my gown from them. The consultant, Ann(e), was phenomenal! She helped me into my gown, let me try on as many veils as I wanted, took photos for me, and made sure the customization to my veil could be done on a pretty quick turn around time. Most other bridal salons only had 5-10 veils in-store to even try on, but AR had easily 30+! It was SO nice to have options to try on with my custom gown and not just try to pick from a book. I purchased my veil and petticoat from AR and wish I could get married all over again just to give them more business! Highly, highly recommend Amanda Ritchey Bridal and Ann(e)!

    Perfect Experience

    The only place you need to look!
    Amanda Ritchey Bridal was the absolute best experience for me as a bride. We got married December 2018. I bought my dress here December 2017. Amy was patient and so sweet while helping me find the dress of my dreams and MATCHING VEIL. Amanda was helpful and attentive each time I called with a question and their seamstress Anne was absolutely amazing. She made sure my dress fit me LIKE A GLOVE. She is also one of the nicest people ever. Seriously.

    I could not have chosen a better place to find my dress and could have had a better experience!! I kept wanting to go back to buy more dresses!!! Multiple outfit changes anyone?! You will not regret checking them out!

    I was able to schedule my appointment and received confirmation the same day. The day before I had to change the time and they were more than accommodating. My visit was everything you would want. My consultant was attentive and picked dresses that were on point. She took the time to listen and made me feel very special. I found my perfect dress and had the best experience that I could have ever dreamed of.

    Definitely recommend

    From finding the dress to alterations, Amanda Ritchey Bridal made the dress-buying process simple, stress-free, and special. I showed Amanda my inspiration photos at my first appointment and she picked out dresses that truly matched my personality and style. Seconds after I picked the one (an Essense of Australia gown), she found a veil that matched the unique color of my gown. The shop kept me informed throughout the whole process. I scheduled my fittings with the seamstress, Ann, who was the absolute sweetest. She advised me on extra day-of details, had great suggestions for getting in and out of the dress, and put in the most gorgeous bustle. The dress fit like a dream. I would highly recommend Amanda Ritchey Bridal to any bride!

    Amanda Ritchey could not be any nicer and accommodating. They make you feel at ease with NO pressure. It has been the best experience. I went to 2 other stores after Amanda Ritchey just to “make sure it was THE dress.” They were on a whole different level. I do t have enough good things to say about them! Highly highly recommend them!!

    I used Amanda Ritchey for my bridesmaid dresses and the entire process was great! They had a large selection that fit our price range. The dresses arrived in a timely manner, and alterations could be done on site. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    While I didn't end up buying my gown from here this was one of my favorite shops I visited. The gowns are so beautiful and so affordable. This place really shows that you don't have to sacrifice style for budget. You can have both. I went twice and both times I was late, but they didn't rush through my appointment. The entire staff was kind (and complimentary) and professional. I found some beautiful gowns but me and my consultant agreed that what I was describing was less off the rack and more of a custom piece, so I will be having my dress made. However this is an awesome shop and I highly recommend.

    Buxom Bridal should be your first stop for your plus-sized bridal needs :) Amanda E was fantastic and super helpful with getting me my dress, and Anna did a great job with my alterations.

    I had a long weekend of dress shopping months before with no success, and booked another long weekend at shops as far north as North Jersey and as far south as Baltimore. Buxom Bridal was the last shop.

    I had a distinct vision for my dress - clean, simple, and luxurious, but I still wanted to try the dress on! Many shops weren’t able to provide that, but when I walked in to Buxom and explained this to Amanda, she knew just the dress for me.

    Amanda was great - she was patient as I tried on additional dresses to rule everything out. She waited as I talked through all my thoughts about every dress. And she was super sweet when I realized I had finally found the dress. More importantly, she was accommodating as I was driving down from Philadelphia frequently to handle the dress, and made sure I could do so on weekends without having to take off work. Amanda remembered me every time I came in, which was nice. She even sent me a swatch of the dress at my request, no problem.

    After the dress came in, it was transferred to the other location for Anna, the in-house seamstress, to work on. She is incredibly busy, so I recommend booking her as soon as your dress comes in for your first and second fittings - a bigger concern when you have a 2 hour drive to make. During both fittings, Anna knew exactly what to do and was very encouraging through everything. Ensuring the dress would be completed before my wedding was stressful, but Anna came through and I left feeling ready for the wedding.

    I wish I started here first and didn’t waste 2 weekends driving all over the region to find this place. Please start here!

    Amanda and her seamstress, Ann, are both amazing. They helped me out BIG time when I was in a major pinch with alterations done by someone else. I had a week before my wedding to get my dress fixed, and Ann's alterations were perfect! So many people told me that my dress looked like it was made for my body! I cannot thank these ladies enough!

    Amanda Ritchey was amazing and so were her staff! Everyone was so friendly and easy to work with and it helped they knew what they were doing! I was very undecided when it came to picking my dress but they helped me pick the perfect dress and I couldn't have been more happy it! I had so many compliments. I even had a cousin text me and asked where I got my dress from because someone she knew saw my dress and loved it! I would highly recommend using them!

    LOVE Amanda Ritchey! The shop is quiet and personal, so you are one of only a couple brides in there getting individual attention, unlike other bridal shops where there are countless people stepping all over each other. Amanda listens to what you want and has so many dresses on site in a variety of different styles. She also seems to have the magic touch. The same thing happened with both my sister and I while dress shopping there. We both went in (5 years ago for my sister, this year for me) with what we THOUGHT we knew we wanted in a dress. After trying on lots of gorgeous dresses but still not finding “the one,” Amanda brought out something that wasn’t exactly what we thought we wanted, but something she envisioned based on our feedback from the other dresses. Both with my sister and I, the ones that Amanda picked herself are the ones we ended up loving and buying!! She is very talented and really knows what she’s doing. Also, they have an in-house seamstress, Ann, which is very convenient and she is also incredibly talented. The bottom of my dress was all very detailed lace and I needed a decent amount hemmed. Ann was able to somehow seamlessly hem it so it looked like the dress was custom made to my measurements without messing up or interrupting the pattern of the lace. I have no idea how she did it but she’s a magician and it was perfect. Absolutely recommend Amanda Ritchey and Ann for your bridal shop!!

    I had a great experience at Amanda Ritchey Bridal. Anne helped me during my initial dress shopping - after trying on 6 dresses (which I liked all but 1 of them) she went in the back to pull out one she thought I was going to love. Honestly, it was not the color I wanted, fit, or style - but when I put it on, it was the one!! I couldnt have been happier with how easy it was making appointments, going in for dress fittings and ordering the bridesmaids dresses. Anne was very accommodating and once when she couldn't make an appointment, she texted me immediately and worked around my schedule to reschedule. Everyone else who worked in the shop was super friendly when I would come in for my fittings and made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend this shop!

    Amanda Ritchey was the third bridal shop I went to, and the one where I found my dress! My consultant was wonderful, and although I was there longer than their appointments typically run, I never felt like they were rushing me out or that I was an inconvenience. I would definitely recommend Amanda Ritchey to anyone thinking about going!

    Amanda Ritchey is exactly the place you want to buy your dream dress from- Megan (bridal consultant) was a dream to work with!! She is very honest and professional and never once did I feel pressure from her to buy anything. Since I was the last client in the shop, she even took the time to set up a grooms mannequin and bridesmaids mannequins next to me in my dress to make sure the colors all went together!! Now that is service! She even played music :)

    I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to Nancy the seamstress, who did amazing job making my dress fit perfectly! She seriously is a miracle worker. I lost about 15 pounds and she had to alter 10 layers of tulle and fabric and intricate beadwork and she made it look flawless!!! She even met with me a couple of days before the wedding to personally make sure that when I tried on the dress, that it fit PERFECTLY.

    You really can't get any better than Amanda Ritchey and her team!

    I used Amanda Ritchey Bridal in Parkville for our bridesmaid dresses for my wedding. I shopped around a bit for bridesmaids dresses. Amanda Ritchey had the best selection of bridesmaids dresses from various designers, by far!! Their prices were also the best in the area! I found the same dresses at a few other stores selling for as much as $30-50 more than AR. I made an appointment to look for dresses, and they were very accomodating. We tried on quite a few dresses!! I picked a designer and color and let my bridesmaids pick which style they wanted because they all have different body types. At Amanda Ritchey, my bridesmaids had about 10 styles to choose from in that one designer and color alone. The staff there was great. I had several times where I called with questions and they were very friendly and helpful. Our bridesmaid dresses turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend this store!

    Amanda Ritchey Bridal was just the type of wedding dress shopping experience I was looking for when trying to find “the dress.” Unfortunately, I visited a few other bridal shops and was disappointed by their customer service and dress selection. When I came to ARB, I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly and helpful staff during my appointment. My appointment started on time and I had one dedicated bridal consultant for me during my time. I had a larger group of 6 people with me for my visit and they found a space for everyone to sit. My bridal consultant helped me figure out what dress shapes would look best on my figure. She picked out many beautiful dresses for me, including my wedding dress! The shop had a variety of dress styles and price ranges. She did not pressure me to buy the dress that day. I picked out two dresses I really loved that day and made an appointment for another visit to come back and try them on. During my second visit, I immediately knew which dress was “the one.” It was such an exciting process and the staff was so kind with their words when I had my wedding dress on. They took a picture of me with my family with the sign and it made it such a fun experience. We also rented the suits for our wedding from ARB. The suits were very sleek and looked great in pictures. We had an issue with my father’s measurements and his suit size when it was delivered. They worked through a few issues with him and got him a suit that fit him correctly in time for the wedding. They called me personally to apologize for the issue with my dad’s suit and paid for his suit cost. I thought that was very big of them to call the bride with an apology and own up to the issue. I respected how they resolved the issue for my dad. I have loved working with ARB so much that I recommended them to close friends and my sister who is getting married this fall. My sister also got her wedding dress at ARB. Nothing but wonderful customer service and selection!

    I had an appt at a different bridal shop one morning, and it was rather underwhelming. My mom, grandmother, MOH and I were driving around after that, and we decided to stop at Amanda Ritchey. I am so glad we did! Heather welcomed us and led us to the back of the sprawling salon which was nicely appointed and very organized and tidy. She got an idea of what I was looking for, my budget, and previous shopping experiences and pulled some beautiful gowns to try. Overall I probably tried about 10, but there were 3 that stood out as favorites. We tried the 3 on again at the end and I narrowed it down to two. I'm pretty sure I know which one I'm going to go with, and I can't wait to make my purchase through Amanda Ritchey! I felt so welcomed, and throughout the entire shopping experience Heather was warm, personable, and professional. Megan, the other sales associate there that day, was also very nice and professional. Thanks girls of AR!

    AMAZING!!!! I loved my experience working with Amanda. I had previously bought a dress I no longer cared for from another salon. I called Buxom Bridal and spoke to Amanda she reassured me we would find the perfect dress. I made my appointment and worked with Amanda directly. I got one on one attention and tried on as many dresses as needed until I found the perfect gown. Amanda was wonderful and put me in dresses she knew would look the best on me. I am so so happy.

    We ordered all of my bridesmaid dresses and my mothers gown through Amanda Ritchey. Everything came out perfect and exactly how I wanted. She was able to work and accommodate my bridesmaids that were pregnant and also my Matron of Honor who was pregnant and living in Japan. I would definitely recommend Amanda Ritchey to other's.

    Amanda Ritchey is great! My dress came in and was clearly made incorrectly. Amanda got right on it and got a new dress shipped immediately. Anne the seamstress was great to work with and made sure all the little details on my dress were tailored just right. Highly recommend Amanda Ritchey Bridal!

    Amanda Ritchey was the second place I visited to find my perfect wedding gown. I had shown them a picture of what I envisioned myself wearing and the first gown they had me try on was it! It looked almost exactly like what I had shown them. I knew that gown was perfect for me, but tried on a few others just to make sure that it really was perfect for me. The consultant was great choosing a variety of styles but keeping in mind my budget. Everyone was super friendly and supportive of my search to find the perfect gown. My dress and accessories all came in on time in perfect condition. The store even store my gown until the day before the wedding for no extra cost! They recommended me one of their seamstresses, Anne. She was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about different changes I needed to make to my dress. She was able to insert cups, take in the bust area, sew on a jewel belt, and shorten the hem on a lace dress with scallop detailing. I was extremely satisfied with her work, the dress fit me like a glove! She even steamed my dress and veil the day before my wedding. I had a great experience at Amanda Ritchey's and would highly recommend the shop to anyone who is looking for a wedding gown.

    I am writing this review based on their beauty service. I worked with Katie and Kathryn for my hair and make up. From the trial I knew they were they team for me. They listened to what I wanted and I was more than pleased with the results. I booked them for my entire bridal party. The day of my event they were on time and completed my entire party in a timely manner (actually finished early) and touched everyone up before they left. One of my bridesmaids actually decided on the day of that they would like their hair done and they squeezed her in with no problem. They were so friendly, personable and professional. Everyone got exactly what they wanted and were very comfortable with their hair and make up. They really listened to what my girls and I wanted, instead of other salons that do what they want. Loved them!

    The first place I went shopping for wedding dresses was Amanda Ritchey, based on a recommendation from a friend. I honestly didn't know what I really wanted but they were so helpful and pulled multiple different styles for me. I loved that they had plenty of seating for my family, and that I was the sole focus of attention. Despite my inability to make decisions, my consultant was always patient and willing to pull more dresses or give advice. I ultimately ended up getting a dress from another store, but not because of my experience. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone.

    I had such a great experience at Amanda Ritchey! Megan was so great at helping me narrow down my vision. She was attentive without being overbearing. I appreciated that she gave her opinion without trying to influence me. We were there for 2 hours, with me just pacing the floor in a few of the gowns and Megan never lost her patience or made me feel like it was time to go. The store had a great selection of dresses that were reasonably priced. I ended up with a sample dress and it was in great condition, which tells me how great they treat the gowns. My sister ended up trying on several bridesmaid gowns and we felt no pressure to buy or hurry up. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend you stop by!

    I went to the Parkville store about 9 months before my wedding. I hadn't really visited any other stores and only had a few pictures of the type of dresses I liked. Courtney looked through the pictures and picked the exact dresses I liked that were within my price range. I tried on 5 dresses and picked my top 3 that I liked. I ended up coming back 2 more times with different friends and family and each time Courtney was extremely patient with me as I kept changing in and out of the same 3 dresses trying to choose my favorites. Even one time when we stayed past closing, she never rushed me. She was amazing! I ultimately couldnt decide right away and week later came back to place an order for one of the dresses. My dress came in about 4 months before my wedding. i went in to try it on and it was perfect! They held my dress for me and recomended a seamstress they work with. Anne is just fantastic. She knows exactly what each bride is thinking and how to fix any changes needed to the dress. She is very responsive and great to work with. The price I paid for alterations was a bit more that I had planned but my dress was lace and it needed hemming, breast cups and to be taken in. Ultimately I was very satisfied with her work. I was a little worried that my final fitting was a week before my wedding but it all worked out. The store held my dress for me up to about 2 days before the wedding and steamed my dress and veil. I would highly recomend Amanda Ritchey Bridal to all my friends!

    I purchased my gorgeous gown, belt, petticoat and extra lace and materials from Amanda Ritchey Bridal and Beauty and could not be more happy with the great service! I even had all my bridesmaids go to pick out their gowns as well even though it was a bit of a drive for us all being mostly in the Wilmington, DE area. Amanda and staff were so extremely sweet and helpful throughout the entire process and made everything so seamless. I went to the salon since they were having a trunk show for Allure and I was eyeing a dress I had seen online.. I had tried on way too many dresses already and was struggling to find "the one". The minute I put on the dress I knew that was it :)

    Amanda went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect and then when I brought a few of my ladies in to search for their dresses it truly just felt like Amanda was part of our crew! I can't speak to alterations as I had all of mine done locally but I can say if you want a great, relaxed day of bridal gown and bridesmaids dresses look no further than at Amanda Ritchey's shop(s)!!

    Amanda Ritchey Bridal was fantastic. Antonia (sp?) who is the manager helped me find the most beautiful wedding dress. She was patient, friendly, compassionate and super helpful. I told her my ideas and she found me the perfect dress!

    This Bridal Salon is beautiful and feels very welcoming when you enter. The dresses are gorgeous and have a wide range of prices. The ladies working there were very attentive to what I wanted in a dress selection and understood my worry of looking too young in my gown or feeling like my gown was making me look smaller than I am. I was full of worry when I arrived and felt that worry wash away within minutes of the appointment beginning. I live far from my mother, leaving me with no one to visit the salon with. When my mother visited, they shared my excitement of showing her the dresses I had narrowed the choices down to. When I visited alone, they did a great job at making me feel welcome and as if they were friends giving honest advice about how I looked. It was a very pleasant experience and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Not even the price.

    From the moment I walked into the store, the staff was friendly and welcoming. This was the only store we visited, and within the first hour, I found "the one". We were able to bring champagne and enjoy the whole experience without feeling pressure to buy anything. Just when I was about to give up for the day, the girls urged me to try on one more. This one more was it. I also bought my accessories at the store, which were well priced.

    I ended up also doing my alterations with Anne, the seamstress. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her. I was planning my wedding from another state, and had to drive over three hours for fittings, and Anne was more than accommodating to fit me in her schedule! She was always available to talk on the phone or via text message. When I first met with Anne, I knew she knew her stuff and had every confidence she would make my wedding dress truly mine. When my final dress fitting came, the dress fit me like a glove, it was perfect. Thank you Anne for making my wedding dress PERFECT!! The day and night of my wedding, I was very comfortable in the gown, never once did I tug to pull up the strapless dress or feel insecure.

    I highly recommend going to Amanda Ritchey bridal for your gown and all your alterations!

    I went to a few different salons before I found my gown at Amanda Ritchey's. My consultant, Anne, was patient with me and picked out a variety of gowns to start so I could see all the different shapes and styles. She would give her opinions when appropriate and helped me pinpoint what parts of each dress I liked or didn't like. After 15 or so dresses there and heading to David's Bridal afterwards, I went back to Amanda Ritchey's and "said yes to the dress"! When it came to alterations, Anne was the seamstress so she was great with those as well. Great experience.

    We styled our entire wedding party through Amanda Ritchey Bridal! From the moment we walked in to the Fallston store, Katherine made us feel like we were meeting up with an old friend! She was such a pleasure to work with. I don’t want to take anything away from the rest of the staff, because each of them were just as awesome! We had our alternations done at the Parkville store with Nancy who is an AMAZING seamstress. My gown has very intricate lace detail at the bottom, but you couldn’t even tell it was altered! All of the staff at the Parkville store were just as wonderful and helpful as the Fallston staff. It’s very evident everyone really enjoys their job. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
    I also had Amanda Ritchey do the mine and the girls’ make up. There were 9 of us total and every one of us looked fabulous! No one looked unnatural! Amanda is such a joy to work with. She made me feel very relaxed on my wedding day. I cannot thank Amanda enough for everything!

    Wonderful throughout the wedding process. I bought all my bridesmaid dresses and mother of the bride dress from Amanda Richey. I had all the alterations completed by Ann and I am so happy with the result! I received so many compliments on all the dresses.

    I purchased my wedding gown at Amanda Ritchie Bridal and was so happy with the whole experience. I had been to a few other bridal shops before visiting Amanda Ritchie Bridal in Parkville. I had found out that Amanda Ritchie had the dress I was looking for after trying on over 10 dresses. I showed up at the location right before they were closing on a Saturday without an appointment to see the dress in person and they were very welcoming in letting me take a look at the dress. I saw it hanging on their back wall and instantly knew it was the dress. They even let me try it on before they closed and did not pressure me into making a decision right away. I made an appointment for the next week and went in and purchased it. After that the dress came in sooner than expected. I also had my alternations with Ann and she did a wonderful job. I would recommend Amanda Ritchie Bridal to any bride looking for her dream dress.

Every gown I tried on I liked but the one in particular I fell in love with was the last one I tried on! Heather is the greatest she was patient,professional and knowledgable. Would I recommend this bridal shop?YES I WOULD!! Thank you Heather! We haven't forgotten about you see you soon!

    I wanted to express how utterly amazing the staff is at Amanda Ritchey. I had a terrible experience at my first dress outing at a different store and it really soured me to the whole experience. Then two friends of mine mentioned your store so I gave it a try. I was not expecting to have such a great experience nor to actually get my dress!

    I bought my dress from the Fallston location and the store associate I had was attentive and patient with me and took time to find out what type of dress would suit me best. She was also very respectful of my budget since I did not want to go over my cap. I am horrible with names so I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't remember hers. Especially because she took the time to actually TALK to me. It was her last day in the store and we were the last people there, but we never felt rushed or pressured to buy. I had two dresses I was deciding between and she really helped me make the right decision.

    My bridesmaids bought their dresses from the Parkville location and it was the same experience there. The associate there really helped direct us and found a dress that all four of my bridesmaids looked great in!

    The staff at both locations were so great and helpful with the entire process. We even had the dresses delivered to different locations and never had a problem.

    Lastly, the seamstress Ann was a wizard! She is so talented and made feel beautiful in my dress. My experience was great from top to bottom and I will recommend your store to anyone I know who needs bridal or prom attire!

    Thank you for helping make me feel gorgeous on my most special day!

    I had been to three other places looking for "THE" dress and was getting frustrated. Each place I called said they had what I was looking dress - lace, straps, full skirt, no beading/bling - but once I arrived, no luck!

    When I went to Amanda Ritchey, I worked directly with Amanda and described the dress i was looking for. We tried on 4 dressed and number 4 was the one. She listened, was attentive, and did not force me to try on random dresses that I had no interest in (like some other places).

    Nancy, her recommended tailor, is AMAZING. I ordered a drop-wait dress that I wanted to actually sit at my natural waist. Nancy took the dress apart and moved the skirt up and it fit perfectly. The cost was minimal considering the major request.

    I went to their location on Joppa Rd. The outside/location doesn't seem "nice" from the road, but the inside has everything you need and Amanda and Nancy are great!

    I found the most fabulous dress for my wedding at Amanda Ritchie's shop in Parkville. I knew I was getting married in about 2 years, but I was actually at Amanda's looking for "mother of the bride" dresses for my granddaughter's wedding! When I left the store, I saw it in the window. I couldn't get it out of my mind, so I called the next week for an appointment. It fit! I bought it on the spot! The ladies who work at Amanda's shop were so helpful and accommodating. There are so many beautiful dresses at her shop and you can quick appointments. Also, when my wedding was about a month away, I took it to the seamstress at Amanda's shop and she worked quickly getting it shortened. (Can you believe after having it for 2 years, I didn't need any other alterations!) Love the dresses, love the service at Amanda Ritchie's Bridal

    I purchased my dress at the Parkville location and it was an amazing experience! My consultant Heather was easy to work with and really listened to what I wanted. The appointment went so smoothly and in under an hour I was able to try almost a dozen dresses on. It was my first time dress shopping and I ended up buying my dress on the spot because she found exactly what I was looking for. I'd definitely recommend this store to any bride!!

    Amanda Ritchey's was the third boutique I visited on the search for my perfect wedding dress. I wish I wouldn't have wasted my time at the first two. The first two dress shops made me feel like just another number and they really tried to push the sale. At Amanda Ritchey's it was the complete opposite. I was the center of attention for the 2 hours I was there. Amanda, the owner, and Lauren personally helped me find the perfect dress. They even put me in dresses that I would've never imagined myself in, yet I absolutely loved them! I never once felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. I found my dream dress and when I left, felt like I had 3 new friends. I can't say enough good things about the girls at Amanda Ritchey's. They exceeded all expectations. I'll be going back this weekend with my bridesmaids to look at bridesmaid dresses for them.

    Amanda Ritchey Bridal is more than gorgeous gowns! Not only did I get my beautiful Allure Couture gown there, but we also got our hair/makeup service and tuxedo rentals there. Our wedding was a year ago and I am still hearing compliments on my wedding hair and makeup! Above all, the service was top-notch throughout the whole process and interactions with Amanda and her staff. Highly, highly recommend Amanda Ritchey Bridal!

    I loved visiting Amanda Ritchey! It was the first shop I went to, after vising many, that I felt comfortable and felt like the girls helping me were listening to what I wanted and trying to help me find the dress!! I found my dress and sash there for a very reasonable price and then had their recommended seamstress, Anne, alter my dress. She did such a great job and was very flexible with her meeting time!!

    I had a great experience working with Amanda and her staff, they made it all so easy and effortless!! Not only did I say yes the 3rd dress I tried on, but they talked me out of a dress I would have regretted!! I got not one, but TWO fabulous dresses as well as all of my bridesmaids dresses and the groomsmen and ring bearers tuxedos too!! Thank you for being part of my special occasion!!

    Dress shopping experience was AMAZING with this boutique. I was referred to Amanda Ritchey's by a co-worker's wife that had nothing but positive things to say. I only went to 2 bridal shoppes, and Amanda Ritchey was my second and last one. I found my dress after only trying on 2 other dresses! Their dress selection is the best, and the service is even better. From the ladies that helped me with the initital dress shopping, to Ann the seamstress, they made the entire experience stressfree and relaxing. My dress was perfect, and looked abosolutely amazing on me!! I highly recommend this dress shoppe for any new bride looking for an inviting atmosphere with great customer service!!!

    This past weekend I bought my dress at Amanda Ritchey Bridal. I had my Mother, Aunt who were both out of state coming to go dress shopping with me. I was interested in a particular designer and I found them online, I called on Wednesday and was able to get an appointment the next day. Courtney helped me into numerous dresses and listened to what I wanted to look like on my day. I found two dresses I really liked but needed time to make a decision-she in no way pressured me to buy and in fact told me to sleep on it. The next day I went to Davids, Alfred Angelo and the customer service just did not even compare- I felt like I was a priority at Amanda Ritchey from the beginning and as an indecisive type of person in general they gave me the time I needed to make a decision without feeling pressure. The next day I came back with my mom, aunt and fiancé's mother who saw pictures but wasn't convinced-needless to say she loved the dress. I didn't even have an appointment and it was a holiday weekend and they accommodated me right away. I went home an ultimately decided it was the one. I came back the next day again without an appointment and they had no complaint about seeing me again and trying on the dress. They measured me and measured my hip to the hem of the dress for a custom fit. It was a little more expensive than I had wanted but I felt that having excellent service was worth spending more for less stress in the end. We asked about cost of cleaning a veil (it was my mother's) and she called me to follow up with how much it would cost. They made my wedding dress experience wonderful and I cannot recommend them enough!!

    I went shopping for my wedding dress at David's Bridal before I found Amanda Ritchey bridal. I was devastated from the horrible experience from Davids that I was afraid I wouldn't find a dress in time since I only had 3 months to do so.

    I walked into Amanda's without an appointment and Amanda the owner took the time to help me. She selected 3 gowns - the first wasn't really me - the second was almost it but on the third I knew I had my dress. Amanda let me buy the dress off the rack and she even gave me a discount.

    The alterations were done on site so I didn't have to try to find someone else to help me with that. The alterations were almost perfect - it was my fault they weren't perfect I somehow dropped some pounds right before my big day - I think it was from all my stress.

    This bridal store has everything tuxes bridesmaids bridal hair and makeup. Too it off with an awesome professional staff and you have the best place to go.

    They worked so lovely with me. I wasn't sure of what I was looking for but when they pulled the 5th dress, I knew that was it. They knew exactly what I was looking for, without me telling them. They treated myself and my friend so lovely and really listened to us! The price was amazing, also! It was a $5800 dress- I paid $2000! Amanda Ritchey is so nice and the salon is beautiful! If you're looking for a great dress, at a great price, with a great experience- go to Amanda Ritchey! :)

    Amanda is the owner and she is wonderful! She takes personal time to spend with each of her brides even though technicaly you are being helped by another representative. The shop is clean and everyone is very attentive to your needs. I found my dress here and majority of all my accessories too! I also found my bridesmaid dresses here too. Top quality for bridal & bridesmaid dresses. Bridesmaid dress prices are a little high for my taste but you get better quality compared to Davids Bridal and better attention too. Love love lover Amanda Ritchey and her Parkville store.

    My mom did visit the Fallston store she personally was not as impressed with that store BUT the Parkville store and it's associates are amazing! Amanda the owner is awesome at both locations but the staff at the Fallston store was not as impressive according to my mom.

    Overal very wonderful!

    I was not looking for the traditional white gown since this was my 3rd marriage in my mature years. I also waited until late to dress shop. Amanda assured me that I would find a gown and that we'd get it in on time. She brought gowns to me that fit my body type. I was not planning on wearing a long gown but when she brought me some, I fell in love with the one I chose as my gown. It was aqua chiffon with ivory lace off the shoulder straps and ivory bodice. It was perfect for my day time garden wedding with the Chesapeake Bay just down the walkway. I had so many compliments on how beautiful my gown was. Amanda also provides an alternation service and the alterations were great.

    All I can say is WOW!!! I wish I was not the last of my friends to get married because I would recommend everyone to this shop in Fallston. Amanda Ritchey, herself, helped me. She knew she was not going to make a big sale because I had a small budget and my bridesmaids are out of state so they purchased their dresses at other places. She sat down with me for a couple of minutes to discuss what I like or don't like and within 10 minutes she brought up 10 dresses all in my price range and helped me with each dress. The 2nd dress I put on, I ended up purchasing. However, I had an appt with another bridal shop so I wanted to go there, just to be sure. It was obvious to my friend, my mom and I that we all wanted to go back to Amanda Ritchey. So, the next day, I went back and Anne at the shop helped me....even took pictures on her own phone and text messaged them to me. The professionalism, kindness, understanding and how helpful they were was truly amazing. I was SO nervous and they made me feel like a million bucks. I love, love, love that shop and everyone should buy their dresses from there. Thank you Amanda Ritchey and staff, I was so thrilled that I made that appt with you.

    I had been to many bridal shops before we found Amanda Ritchey in Parkville. The store is beautifully set up, with a serene environment, and a professional staff. The staff were supportive and helpful without being intrusive. Every suggestion was well thought out and made sense. I absolutely loved my dress!!! They were flexible and accommodating with some necessary dress changes. Alterations by their on sight seamstress, Ann Wager, were prompt and top notch. Antonia Vega helped me find the perfect dress, and was there for the fittings. We also hired her to come to the hotel with her assistant, to do hair and make-up. They did an amazing job!! Everyone looked great. Antonia's professionalism, calm demeanor, and sweetness made all of the difference. She is a true artist. I would recommend this vendor to any future bride!!

    Amanda and her team made the dress buying process so much fun! I purchased my dress at the Falston location and couldn't have been happier with the location, my dress, or her team.

    The Falston location is a quaint space, with SEVERAL dresses avaialable for all shapes and sizes of women. Never once did I feel that I was just another bride coming in for a sale. The staff was excited about helping me find my perfect dress listening to all of my wishes, while also listening to what my mom and aunt were asking to see on me.

    Amanda and her team were very responsive to all calls and were in constant contact regarding my dress. I would recommend Amanda Ritchey to all brides out there!

    These women are so great to work with. I have gotten two bridemaids dresses from this store, and then called to see if they stocked my favorite bridal gown, since it was out of my price range at another boutique. This store beat their price, and helped me accessorize to feel fabulous. These ladies are very calm and patient and honestly want to help you look and feel your best in your dress.

    I had such a good experience here. They spent a lot time with me when I was trying to decide which dress I liked and gave me such great suggestions about veils and shoes. My dress came in in plenty of time and all of my alterations were great. The dress was ready and steamed for pick up and they are doing my cleaning and preservation. The dress fit perfectly!! I loved it and had lots of compliments about how beautiful it was!! I would definitely recommend going here to any bride.

    I cannot say enough nice things about Amanda Ritchey!! I work and live near her Fallston store and was always driving past and admiring her beautiful dresses! When the time came to get my wedding dress, I knew that I wanted her to be one of my stops! After going to two other stores that I was not impressed with, it was Amanda's turn. When I walked in everyone there was super friendly and welcoming! Amanda then went and sat down with me and took the time to get to know me for at least 15 minutes! Once she had an idea of what I was looking for she went to pull some dresses. The first dress that she put me in was my dress! I didn't even try any more one after that, I just knew! Once you pick your dress, they turn down the lights and put Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" on and let you and those with you have "your moment."

    We didn't stop there with Amanda either! We went back and bought all three bridesmaid's dresses there and then went back for the junior bridesmaids and flower girl. The girls working that evening did not care that the little girls took 2 hours and tried on every dress in the store that was for someone their size! Then the groomsmen went and got their tuxes/suits rented from there! There was a slight miscommunication with the suits, but it was resovled extremely quickly and professionally!

    Amanda also came out to my parents house the day of the wedding and did everyone's makeup. She did an absolutely amazing job!! All of the girls received so many compliments on their makeup!

    All-in-all Amanda Ritchey can be your one stop shop for wedding things, or you can just use her for getting your dress. Whichever, you will be treated wonderfully by all of the staff at either store!

    I loved working with Amanda Ritchey Bridal! They were so helpful with everything. They are so easy to work with and let me come in multiple times to make sure my veil and flower girl dress matched my wedding dress. The seamstress is also very nice and did a beautiful job on alterations to my dress. I was very pleased with all of their services.

    My daughter recently married. Amanda Ritchey was scheduled to be the first stop in her pursuit of the perfect wedding dress. It turned out to be her first and only stop. By the 4th or 5th dress, Amanda knew exactly what dress to pull for her to try on. My daughter was not one that I felt would be easily pleased but the dress that Amanda had her try on was "the one". Amanda, then made other suggestions as to a belt and decorative flower which personalized her dress perfectly. When in doubt about a veil or head accessory, Amanda again met with us to help her with a decision. Then, in a lovely gesture, suggested she use the veil as her "something borrowed". How many other bridal stores would think to do something so kind and special as that? I would like to thank Amanda and her staff for helping to make my daughter's day so special. Thank you, Amanda - she was absolutely beautiful in her dress.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE in every way. I first stumbled into Amanda Ritchey's over a year before my wedding. My grandfather had just passed away and I was looking for a way to cheer up my Mom. They were incredibly understanding that I was not looking to buy at that moment and still treated me amazingly anyway. We tried on all types of dresses and took their cards with me as I left.

    A couple months later, as I was ready to start looking for dresses -- I found a particular dress that I was VERY interested in buying, that was carried by one of their vendors. They weren't able to get that dress in in-time for my appointment, and instead directed me towards other local bridal shops that had that dress. That is how committed they were to ME finding my perfect dress, as opposed to just closing a sale. I went the night before my appointment with Amanda Ritchey to try on "that" dress, and needless to say it was not all I had hoped for. At this other bridal salon however, I did find the dress that I thought I wanted for my wedding.

    I went to my appointment with Amanda Ritchey the next day and explained to them about this NEW dress I had loved (with pictures and all), and although they did not carry it, they found another perfect and very similar dress -- that was all I needed. They were UNBELIEVABLY helpful and professional and truly only cared about me -- and I knew they had to be the people I worked with. Fast forward a few months and I feel like I have found friends in the girls who work there. I would stop in when I was home visiting my Mom and just talk, and they always remembered me when I called.

    They sent me a picture text message the day before the wedding saying good luck and were nothing but so sweet and amazing the entire time.

    The wedding industry can be tough - though I feel I was lucky with all of my vendors - but it is so rare to find somebody who truly cares about your day more than about themselves. Amanda Ritchey was that. A++ WONDERFUL.

    My experience at Amanda Ritchey Bridal & Beauty made planning my wedding easy and stress-free. Amanda Ritchey is a one-stop shop for all your bridal needs!! I appreciated the fact that the bridal consultants went out of their way to find me the perfect dress, telling me what looked good for my body type, how to wear my hair, what jewelry would compliment the dress, etc. I am also grateful that the consultants were so accommodating even though I was planning my wedding in only a few months. I was able to purchase my dress and my bridesmaids' dresses on the same day, as well as make an appointment for a hair and makeup trial and my groom's suit rental. It was so convenient to get everything we needed in one place. Antonia is the most fabulous hair and makeup artist. She came to our venue the day of the wedding and was able to complete hair and makeup for all six women!! She listened to everyone's needs, and everyone looked gorgeous for my wedding! We were all so impressed!! I would definitely recommend Amanda Ritchey to busy, on-the-go brides like myself!!

    Amanda was wonderful!! She and her employees helped me find the perfect dress!! They ordered all of my Bridesmaids dresses, had them rushed and even gave me the shoes to wear in my wedding , because they couldn't get them in my size anymore. I can't say enough about how helpful and nice they all were!! :) I really would like to recommend them too brides to be out there!! I don't think you'll be disappointed!! :)

    We used Amanda Ritchey Bridal for Wedding Dress Shopping, Bridesmaids Dresses, Alterations as well as Hair & Makeup.

    Wedding dress shopping at Amanda Ritchey is such an enjoyable experience. Not only will a consultant give you 100% of their attention getting into and out of dresses, you are not pressured with the time constraints of an appointment as you are at some of the bigger bridal stores. I was able to try on a dozen silhouettes in one appointment which really helped me narrow down what looked good on me.

    I was looking for a very specific type of dress as we were having two weddings, one abroad and one here in Baltimore. I needed the dress to travel well. Amanda Ritchey Bridal was very helpful in making the right selection not only for fabric but also weight and ease of cleaning between weddings.

    I had looked at hundreds of styles of bridesmaids dresses online and between their two stores Amanda Ritchey Bridal carries pretty much every style out there. The dress we decided on was perfect for our wedding and the store was very helpful as many of my bridesmaids live out of state and out of country so getting them measured was a challenge. In the end every girl looked incredible.

    I ended up purchasing two wedding dresses ( a long dress and a short party dress ). From the time I purchased the dresses to the first fitting I lost 50lbs. It was too late to re-order but Amanda Ritchey Bridal's seamstress Nancy is a miracle worker. She was able to alter both dresses down 6+ sizes! Amazing.

    We had such a great experience with all of the other services that we decided to use Amanda Ritchey Bridal for hair and makeup also. Antonia did a beautiful job under high pressure (my sister in law had a baby at 10am on the morning of our wedding so all of the family members wanted to get hair and makeup asap so they could go and see the baby before the wedding - it was a madhouse!).

    Overall fantastic experience with Amanda Ritchey Bridal. Highly recommended!

    I went to Amanda Ritchey at the very last minute to get a gown after finding out that a gown I had original ordered was discontinued from another vendor. The staff at Amanda Ritchey was just fabulous in helping me choose a gown off the rack that was perfect for me. They rushed to have it altered so that I would have it in time for my daughter's wedding. The gown was beyond my expectations and looked gorgeous.

    Amanda Ritchey is amazing! I had Antonia (sp)...
    She was so kind and sensitive to my needs. I have put off wedding dress shpping for a year now due to my low self esteem... So with 6 months until the wedding it was now or not getting a dress... I was so impressed with my experience. She made me feel so confident and dare I say, pretty! The dress I chose is very slimming! She brought humor to my anxieties as well... If I said "fat" she would respond, "the 'f' word is not permitted in this store!" I love her! And when I picked the dress it was a big Bally celebration and I felt so special! Can't say enough good things about this store and my consultant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It was a great experience working with the Amanda Ritchey girls! They are fun to be around and make you feel very comfortable. I like how they will give you an honest opinion and are NOT pushy at all! The dresses they have are some amazing designers. This was the first place i went to for finding my dress. It was also the last place! I have recommended this place to my other friends.

    I cannot say enough good things about Amanda Ritchey Bridal! The very first store I went to when starting my wedding dress hunt was the Fallston store. The store was awesome and made my family and I feel very comfortable. They helped me try a dress in every possible style to figure out what I liked and didn’t like. They had samples in many different sizes so I could really see what the dresses would look like on me, not just hold up a size 6 and use my imagination. At my first appointment, there was one dress that stuck with me. All the girls at the store swore I’d be back to buy it, and after trying 9 different stores from NoVa to York, Pa and probably 60 dresses… they were right! I should have listened to them the first time. I tried dresses on at the Parkville store and had the same great experience as with the Fallston store. I was very happy to work directly with Amanda many times. She is great and had tons of helpful advice.

    Amanda and her team are the best. They took time to listen to what I wanted and they were honest with me. I never felt like I was just another sale. I am a very indecisive person and I could not decided between two dresses. They let me come back multiple times, letting me try on the dresses back to back to help me decide. They were never pushy about making a sale, they just wanted to see me happy in a dress. I also ended up getting my bridesmaids dresses, my veil, and a belt for my dress at Amanda Ritchey. Lastly, I had ordered extra buttons to go all the way down the train of my dress. There were multiple problems with the manufacturer mailing out the buttons. Amanda and her team spent a lot of time on the phone with the manufacturer to get them in. On my wedding day my dress looked perfect, buttons and all! If you want a bridal salon who will make you feel like you are their only client then I would go to Amanda Ritchey.

    I purchased my wedding dress from Sam and I couldn't have been happier with my experience. I first went with just my mother and sister and she listened to what I was looking for and allowed all of us to pick several dresses of all different styles. She really helped us have fun with it! After I tried a few on, she grabbed a couple that she thought I would like based on my figure and my style. I knew right away when I found the perfect dress. The best part was the price. Sam only got dresses under our budget and didn't try to upsell us. She also helped me find the perfect accessories with a beautiful belt and the perfect veil. When I went back with my future MIL and grandmothers, they played music and gave me a bouquet so I could really enjoy the moment of picking my dress. They are so wonderful and treated us like family. My bridesmaids and both mothers also purchased dresses at Amanda Ritchey and they are gorgeous dresses. I would highly recommend Amanda Ritchey and especially Sam to anyone getting married. They will make ou feel like the princess you deserve to feel like when choosing the most important dress of your life!

    My experience at Amanda Ritchey was amazing! All of the girls were very sweet, honest, and helpful. They helped me find the dress of my dreams, while keeping my budget in mind. I shared the type of dress I was looking for and the girls at the store made sure to show me exactly what I wanted and were honest when I tried a variety of dresses on. My bridesmaids also purchased their dresses from Amanda and we were very pleased with the time in which they arrived and the price! My husband and the groomsmen also rented suit through Amanda and she was extremely helpful when we were picking out colors for the wedding party. The suits looked perfect on the beach. Amanda and her staff were very easy to deal with and of course helped us to be the best looking people on the beach!!
