Hidden Gems: Meet Sabrina Gerardi of Glamour Formals

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sabrina Gerardi

Hi Sabrina, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
The story of Glamour Formals began in 2022, driven by my lifelong love for fashion and my passion for connecting with people. I’ve always been inspired by the way clothing can transform confidence and create unforgettable moments, and I wanted to bring that magic to the Nashville and Franklin area. Opening Glamour Formals allowed me to pair my two passions—fashion and being client-facing—into what has truly become my pride and joy.

After a diligent search, we found our perfect home in Cool Springs, a stunning 5,400-square-foot retail space designed to offer an elevated shopping experience. From the very beginning, my goal has been to create an environment where every customer feels special, celebrated, and cared for. Introducing innovations like iPad fitting room technology, which allows clients to view their try-ons digitally and streamline their shopping experience, has helped us modernize the formalwear industry and make the process fun, interactive, and memorable.

At Glamour Formals, we provide an extensive selection of luxury formalwear for all occasions, including prom, pageants, mother-of-the-bride, ready-to-wear, shoes, and more. Yet, it’s the moments we share with our clients—helping someone find their dream dress or watching a young woman light up with confidence—that have made this journey so incredibly rewarding.

Beyond the store, I’m proud of our commitment to the community. From sponsoring pageants to hosting events that empower and celebrate our clients, Glamour Formals is about more than fashion—it’s about building connections, fostering confidence, and creating memories that last a lifetime. This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to bring this dream to life.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It’s been an exciting journey growing Glamour Formals, and like any business, we’ve faced our share of learning opportunities along the way. The seasonality of the formalwear industry keeps us on our toes, as we shift gears to meet the high demand during prom and pageant seasons while staying innovative during quieter periods. This rhythm challenges us to plan creatively and explore new ways to keep our customers engaged year-round.

Building a strong, passionate team has been another area of focus. We’re proud to have cultivated a team that shares our dedication to providing exceptional, personalized service. While finding the right people takes time, it’s been incredibly rewarding to see them grow and connect with our clients.

As the business continues to evolve, we’re always looking for ways to expand our offerings, enhance the customer experience, and stay ahead of industry trends. Each step of the journey has reinforced our commitment to making Glamour Formals a destination for confidence, style, and unforgettable memories.
