Paige Lorenze and Tommy Paul married on Tuesday July 14th at Old Westbury Gardens in Nassau County, Long Island, and the day was exactly what anyone who has followed Lorenze’s aesthetic for the last several years would have expected it to be, beautiful and considered and deeply personal, every decision traceable back to a clear and consistent point of view about what she wanted the wedding to feel like and who she wanted to feel like within it. The couple had been together since 2022, their relationship beginning with a direct message Lorenze sent to Paul on Instagram, after which he eventually invited her to the 2022 US Open in New York, the state where they first met and the one they both always knew they wanted to get married in. Tommy proposed on a beach in Nantucket in July 2025 with a custom emerald-cut solitaire diamond ring set on a minimalist platinum band, a piece estimated at $600,000 that suited Lorenze’s personal aesthetic precisely, the stone substantial and the setting clean and unadorned rather than elaborate. They were engaged for almost exactly a year before the wedding, and Lorenze spent that year planning a celebration she had always known she wanted to feel true to who they were rather than to the expectations of what a wedding of this scale should look like.
The guest list reflected that philosophy, a carefully curated group of family and close friends alongside familiar faces from the tennis world. Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, both ATP peers of Paul, served as his groomsmen and best men alongside Reilly Opelka. Olivia Jade, Ayan Broomfield, Remi Bader, Connor Wood, and podcast host Hallie Batchelder were among those in attendance, the room feeling genuinely personal rather than assembled for occasion. The ceremony began at 5 PM, Lorenze walking down a grand stone staircase with her father before making her way to Paul at the altar, the late afternoon summer light falling across the formal gardens in a way that made the whole thing feel simultaneously grand and entirely intimate. Tommy said afterward that it felt like they had thrown the party of the decade, that it was so special, and that the next chapter with Paige was something he had been looking forward to since the day they met.
The Venue

Old Westbury Gardens is a historic Gold Coast estate in Nassau County whose formal gardens, grand stone architecture, and Gilded Age history have made it one of the most quietly significant properties on the East Coast. It is the estate that famously inspired Daisy Buchanan’s home in Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 adaptation of The Great Gatsby, a piece of American cultural geography that suited both the aesthetic Lorenze had been building toward and the particular brand of timeless romance the day was intended to reflect. The property sits on the North Shore of Long Island, its grounds a combination of walled gardens, open lawns, and formal borders maintained with the kind of precision that historic estates require, the architecture and the horticulture working together to produce an environment that feels simultaneously accessible and extraordinary, which is exactly what Lorenze said she wanted the wedding to feel like for the people she loved who would be there.
Lorenze described the moment she first visited the property as the one that made every subsequent creative decision feel settled. The moment I walked through Old Westbury Gardens, everything became clear, she told Vogue. After that first site visit, I never questioned another creative decision. That clarity is visible in every photograph from the day, the venue and the clothes and the flowers and the light all existing within the same visual world rather than pulling against each other, the estate providing a backdrop that required no augmentation because it already contained everything the aesthetic of the wedding needed. Tommy and I always knew we wanted to get married in America, in the state where we met, and somewhere that felt accessible for the people we love most, she said. I wanted the wedding to feel true to who we are and where our story began.
The choice of a Gold Coast estate on Long Island was also a deeply personal geographical decision. New York was where their relationship began, the 2022 US Open the moment Tommy invited Paige into his world for the first time, and marrying in the same state where that first meeting happened gave the venue a narrative logic that went beyond aesthetics. Old Westbury Gardens, with its combination of Gilded Age grandeur and the particular informality of a garden setting in the height of summer, struck the exact balance between formal and human that the whole day was aiming for. The grand stone staircase Lorenze descended with her father, the formal parterres visible through the garden windows, the evening light arriving at the perfect angle at 5 PM on a July afternoon in Long Island, all of it contributed to an atmosphere that no amount of planning alone could have produced. The venue was, as Lorenze said, the blueprint for everything.
The Ceremony Dress

Fashion was central to Lorenze’s vision for the day from the beginning, and the most significant decision she made was to wear an American fashion house, a conviction that guided her toward Carolina Herrera and specifically toward Wes Gordon, the house’s creative director, whose work she had admired for years before the wedding was ever in the planning stages. I have admired Wes Gordon’s work at Carolina Herrera for years, she said. To me, he has such a beautiful way of balancing classic elegance with a modern point of view. Every design feels incredibly thoughtful, feminine, and romantic, and he has a gift for making women feel like the very best version of themselves. The relationship between Lorenze’s aesthetic and Gordon’s design language at Carolina Herrera was already a natural fit before the commission began, both operating in a register that values construction and restraint over decoration and that finds the most interesting creative territory in the space between the classic and the contemporary.
The gown Gordon designed for her was a custom strapless silk drop-waist piece that distilled everything the collaboration was aiming for into a single object. The drop-waist silhouette gave the gown a gentle thirties-inflected quality that suited the Gold Coast architecture of the venue and connected the dress to the same era of American elegance that Old Westbury Gardens itself represents, the two things designed for each other without having been designed together. The strapless construction kept the neckline entirely clean, no detail competing with the line of the shoulder or the expanse of skin above the bodice, and the silk moved with Lorenze as she descended the stone staircase and walked toward Paul in a way that made the physical experience of wearing the dress as important as its visual impact. I wanted Wes to be able to step into the world we were creating, she said. I immediately knew Wes understood exactly what I wanted and what the venue deserved. Wes created something even more beautiful than I could have imagined.
The philosophy that guided the dress guided the entire day. Lorenze said that feeling like herself on her wedding day was the principle that informed every decision from the gown to the jewelry to her hair and makeup, and the dress was the most complete expression of that principle, a garment that looked like a wedding dress and felt like something she would actually choose to wear rather than something the occasion had required her to put on. When I finally put the dress on, it felt like the truest reflection of me, she told Vogue. That quality, the sense of a garment as genuinely belonging to the person wearing it rather than being worn for an audience, is what makes the ceremony dress one of the more memorable bridal looks in recent memory. It did not need to announce itself. It simply was.
The Jewelry

The jewelry Lorenze wore on the day came from Rahaminov Diamonds, a Los Angeles-based fine jewelry house known for its exceptional diamond selection and its particular expertise in fancy-shaped stones, and the pieces she chose for the ceremony were as considered and as specific as every other element of her wedding look. The centerpiece of the bridal jewelry was a pair of double pear-shaped diamond drop earrings, each earring constructed from two pear-cut diamonds set vertically in a graduated drop configuration that elongated the neckline and framed the face without competing with the clean strapless architecture of the ceremony gown. The pear cut, with its elongated teardrop shape and its combination of brilliance from the rounded base and the delicacy of the pointed tip, has a classical refinement that suited the overall register of the day, the earrings reading as genuinely bridal in the most timeless possible sense rather than as a fashion statement.
The total wedding jewelry worn across the day was valued at over three million dollars, a figure that reflects the quality and size of the diamond pieces involved and that places the jewelry in the category of fine diamond work that the most significant bridal moments in recent memory have occupied. This kind of valuation does not read as excess in the context of the day Lorenze had built, because nothing about the choices was about visibility or display, the jewelry selected for how it would feel and how it would function within the complete picture of the look rather than for its independent impact. The engagement ring she wore throughout the day, the custom emerald-cut solitaire on its minimalist platinum band, sat alongside the Rahaminov earrings in a way that felt entirely coherent, both pieces operating in the same visual register of substantial and clean rather than elaborate and decorative. Together they produced a jewelry picture that was worthy of the occasion without overwhelming the dress that was its context.
The Reception and the Afterparty
After the ceremony the couple moved quickly through their portraits, a decision they made deliberately in order to spend as much time as possible with their guests rather than in front of a camera. For the reception and cake cutting Lorenze changed into a second custom Carolina Herrera dress, this one backless with an oversized bow embellishment adapted from a Pre-Fall 2025 look from the house, the silhouette shifting from the ceremony gown’s clean formality into something with more movement and more romance while remaining entirely within the visual world the day had established. The backless construction and the drama of the bow gave the second dress a distinctly different energy from the first without breaking the continuity between them, the two Carolina Herrera pieces functioning as a complete day wardrobe that traced the arc from ceremony to celebration naturally. For the afterparty Lorenze changed a third time into a custom Wiederhoeft minidress, the shift into the shorter silhouette reading as the final and most celebratory note of a day that had moved through formality and romance to arrive at something purely joyful.
The Groom

Paul wore a custom double-breasted Burberry suit for the ceremony and reception, the suit’s clean construction and the brand’s English tailoring heritage providing a complement to Lorenze’s American fashion choices that worked through contrast rather than coordination, the two wardrobes in conversation without matching. He said that waiting for Lorenze at the altar was one of the more physically overwhelming experiences of his life. I was weak in the knees, literally, he told Vogue. It felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest, and I couldn’t hold back tears. Lorenze, for her part, described the walk down the aisle as nothing like the nerve-racking experience she had anticipated. I felt completely carried by my dad, by our families, and by so much love, she said. There was an incredible sense of peace. I almost felt like floating.
The Day in Full
The wedding photographs were shot by Kayleigh Taylor and Cece Alana, with event planning handled by Easton Events, the couple sharing the exclusive images and details with Vogue in a piece published July 17th. Lorenze announced the marriage on the day itself by changing her Instagram profile name from Paige Lorenze to Paige Paul, the quietest possible announcement for a day that was anything but quiet, and the kind of detail that says something about what the wedding actually meant to the people at the center of it. Everything about the day, the venue, the dress, the jewelry, the grooms, the guest list, the three changes of clothes, was chosen with the same clear and consistent intelligence that has defined Lorenze’s public aesthetic since the beginning, and the result was a wedding that felt entirely like them, which is the only standard that matters and the hardest one to meet.
