Manager of GG Formals & GG Forever, Style Queen, Confidence Coach

Born in McAllen, Texas and raised in Dublin, Georgia, Erica Adame is the youngest of seven—and she’s been lighting up rooms and runways with her personality ever since. As the manager of both GG Formals and GG Forever, Erica plays a key role in keeping both brands running like a dream.

She adores all animals and will absolutely stop to pet any furry friend she sees. And fun fact: her favorite place she’s traveled to is New York City!

A current journalism student at the University of Georgia, KB blends her love for storytelling, design, and people into everything she does, making her a natural leader in both business and branding.

KB is more than just a team member — she’s family. Her joy is contagious, her ideas are big, and her heart is even bigger. Whether she's styling a shoot, planning a campaign, welcoming brides into the store, or just giving someone a reason to smile, she’s always doing it with purpose, love, and a touch of sparkle.
GG Forever wouldn’t be what it is without her — and if you’ve ever met her, you know exactly why.
