Andrea Grier

Boutique Manager/Bridal Consultant

Background: Although I studied and worked as a Registered Early Childhood Educator, I made the decision to leave that career behind and work full time at the Boutique. This has allowed me more time to also operate Centennial Stables, a horse boarding facility I own with my husband.

Family: The amazing daughter of the owner, a loving wife to my husband Spencer and pet parent extraordinaire.
Your Passion: My Boutique passion is the bride. Finding them just what they are looking for. I never want to just sell a dress to someone; I want to find them the dress that makes them feel amazing.
Describe Yourself: Friendly and fun! I like to joke around and laugh. Work brings me enjoyment. I like to keep busy and be on the go.
Your Playlist Consists Of: Lots of variety, but mostly Country and Rap.
Which Disney Princess Best Describe You: Cinderella, because all I do is work.
Boutique Specialty: I love finding the bride just what she is looking for. I may be a little quieter during your appointment, but that just means I am listening and observing. Focusing on the bride and what she wants. I know the dresses, how they look on different body types and love being a part of what we bring into the Boutique. When we hit Market for buying, I always have our brides in mind and what they are looking for.
Bridal Dress of Choice: Love them all, but if I had to chose, A Line.
Favourite Season: Summer
Movie of Choice: Any kind of chick flick
What You Do to Unwind: Horseback riding, camping, fishing, baking, working out, spending time with loved ones and my dog Bart.
