OUR HEART FULL OF JOY COLLECTION
Exclusively Available at Twirl Boutique
The heart behind this special collection from our owner, Ty McBrayer:
In 2020, I lost one of my best friends to heart disease. Since losing her, I have been finding ways to honor her tremendous legacy.
Carol Barr was the most fierce cheerleader of her friends. When I had the dream to open Twirl in 2009, she championed and supported my dream, painted the walls of the historic home we still reside in, and served apple cider to guests on my first day of business. She was one of the most confident and classically beautiful women I’ve ever met, and to know her was to know true joy. The heartbeat of Twirl Boutique has always been to celebrate women and instill a lasting confidence in them while they are within the walls of our home, just like Carol did for anyone who crossed her path.
This collection features that classic styles handpicked by our team that exude timeless beauty and encourage every bride who wears them to twirl through life with a heart full of joy. A portion of each gown purchased from this special collection will be donated directly to The Carol Barr Fund with the American Heart Association. Thank you for sharing in the legacy of my dear friend, Carol.
About the Carol Barr Fund:
In conjunction with the friends and family of Carol Barr, the Central Kentucky American Heart Association has created the Carol Barr Fund. The Fund will support research as well as STEM programming for young women in Kentucky. The Fund was created by the Carol Barr Advisory Team, a group of Carol’s friends and family who created the Fund to help honor Carol’s legacy of leadership with the American Heart Association.
Carol Barr was just 39 when she unexpectedly and tragically passed away in June of 2020 due to a heart condition called mitral valve prolapse. Carol was a natural leader whose magnetic personality was a light that guided her daughters, her community, and her family.
To honor Carol’s legacy of work with Go Red for Women, the American Heart Association is working with Carol’s husband, U.S. Congressman Andy Barr, on an initiative created in Carol’s name to fund research on mitral valve prolapse, and STEM programs and scholarships for young girls in Eastern Kentucky.
