Summer | Inspired by This Blog

I love the 4th of July! It seems like the epitome of summer. BBQ’s, picnics, fireworks, sunshine, friends, swimming and all of the other great accouterments of the summer solstice! Along with being excited, I also feel grateful. I have had the opportunity to work with so many talented individuals, so many people who were culturally and religiously different than me, who held jobs they love, love whom they want and pursue a life they dream of. We are so blessed to live in a country that not only protects but celebrates all of those things!

Our basic freedoms, seem like freedoms that all humans are naturally entitled to enjoy, and as I agree that they are, there are people all over the globe who aren’t as fortunate as we are. I am over here silently waiving an imaginary American flag and enjoying my freedoms.

Below are some fabulous red, white and blue wedding inspirations intermixed with pictures of Grooms who have been or are fighting for the very freedoms we will be reminded of on July 4th. If I could, I would personally thank all the men and women who continue to fight for our country and those who were there to write and sign the declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776!

“Poolside Chic” wedding wear. Have you considered? As wedding professionals have you thought about this idea for your brides or suggesting it as bridesmaids gifts? I have been hearing that this is all the rage now. Whether brides are planning a destination wedding in a tropical location, heading to a remote island for their honeymoon or if any of you plan to be lounging by the pool at any time in the future, you all will want to be sure you have your Tyler Rose swimsuit in tow.

Nichole Carroll is the owner and designer and it must be said her suits are one of my current obsessions…So fab! Being a glamorous and flirty woman in her 20’s, Nichole started designing suits for her girlfriends with a vision of simple silhouettes and classic bold prints. Her inspiration was born of a photo from 1971 of her mother lounging in a beautiful violet swimsuit exuding an air of sweet elegance. Tyler Rose Swimwear has the logo, branding and website down with great swim suits on top of it! Their website and musical selections reflect the current line, which is a sexy 80′s Miami-esque collection called, “A Sure Thing”. These stylish suits has been seen on the likes of celebrity Molly Sims and stars like Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Maria Menounos, and Nicole Richie all have their own “poolside runway” Tyler Rose swimsuits as well.

Here is a small sampling of where they’ve been noticed!

Now wedding magazines are are turning their eyes to the hottest collection of destination wedding wear. Brides are all the rage this summer for glamorous gifts for their bridesmaids and hot honeymoon poolside attire. You can even make an affair out of shopping for your suit. TRS will gladly let you host a bridal shower there, where you can have the opportunity to have the team help fit you for the perfect suit! What I love most about these bathing suits is that they celebrate the curves of a woman. Nichole says, “ A glamorous girly girl is a state of mind, an attitude- not defined by an age.” Being confident wearing a flirty and flattering swimsuit will have every woman wanting to “walk poolside like it’s a runway”.

The TRS white bathing suits are great for the Bride

The bold and colorful patterns below are popular for bridesmaids gifts and honeymoon poolside attire!

Now as I prepare for my luxury wedding business conference in the Grand Caymans (Engage 09), I’ve got to get my hands on one of these Tyler Rose swimsuits to take with me. Wouldn’t want to be caught walking poolside without one!
