Tennis player Tommy Paul and creative director and Dairy Boy founder Paige Lorenze’s love story began the way many modern romances do: with a few likes on Instagram. After Tommy started engaging with several of Paige’s posts in the summer of 2022, she decided to make the first move and sent him a DM. They exchanged numbers and agreed to meet later that year at the U.S. Open. “Tommy invited me to one of his matches,” Paige remembers. “And the rest is history.”
Three years later, in the summer of 2025, Tommy proposed on the island of Nantucket, where Paige spent every childhood summer with her grandparents. “It’s one of the most meaningful places in my life,” she says. “He surprised me at a small cottage overlooking the water, surrounded by blue hydrangeas, my favorite New England flower. It was intimate and felt like the perfect reflection of us. No cameras or videos. Just us.”
The wedding was held just over a year later at Old Westbury Gardens, the former estate of John Shaffer Phipps, an heir to the Phipps family fortune, in Nassau County, New York. The storied Gold Coast estate later inspired Daisy Buchanan’s grand home in Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 adaptation of The Great Gatsby. “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,” Paige says. “I wanted the wedding to feel true to who we are and where our story began.”
Throughout the wedding planning process, their choice of venue felt like it was meant to be. “The moment I walked through Old Westbury Gardens, everything became clear,” Paige remembers. “After that first site visit, I never questioned another creative decision.” From the gardens and stonework to the sweeping staircases and soft color palette, the estate became the blueprint for everything. “It’s grand yet intimate, romantic, historic, and filled with incredible architectural details,” she explains. “Every decision—from the dress to the flowers to the tablescapes—was influenced by that first visit.”
With the venue established and the event design in motion, Paige turned to one of the most important creative decisions of all: her wedding dress. She knew early on that she wanted to wear an American fashion house. “I’ve admired Wes Gordon’s work at Carolina Herrera for years,” she says. “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.”
True to her creative process, Paige put together an entire presentation with photographs of the venue, the gardens, the florals, the color palette, and the atmosphere that she wanted to create. “My stylist Maren Taylor was such an incredible creative partner throughout the process,” Paige notes. “She helped refine my ideas, challenge them in the best way, and make sure every detail felt cohesive and true to the vision. I wanted Wes to be able to step into the world we were creating.” When Paige received the first sketches from the Carolina Herrera team, she remembers getting chills. “I immediately knew Wes understood exactly what I wanted and what the venue deserved,” she says.
More than anything, though, Paige wanted to feel completely like herself on her wedding day. “That philosophy guided every decision, from the jewelry to my hair and makeup,” she adds. “When I finally put the dress on, it felt like the truest reflection of me. Wes created something even more beautiful than I could have imagined.”
While Paige initially expected wedding planning to be stressful, it ended up being one of the most enjoyable creative processes of her life. “I truly believe your wedding planner shapes your experience, and working with Easton Events made the entire process feel effortless,” she explains. “They’re incredibly detail-oriented and process-driven, which gave me complete confidence to let go. I’m very hands on and particular, so trusting someone else with that level of creative and logistical responsibility doesn’t come naturally. But, I trusted them completely, and that was one of the greatest gifts.”
Together, Paige and Tommy envisioned a wedding day that felt warm, thoughtful, and deeply personal. “Having everyone we love together in one place was incredibly special,” Paige says. “And in many ways, celebrating with them felt just as meaningful as celebrating each other. I left home to attend ski school in Vermont, and Tommy grew up in North Carolina before traveling the world competing and later making Florida home. Along the way, we’ve each been shaped by so many incredible friends, coaches, mentors, teammates, and family members. Having all of those different chapters of our lives together in one place was so special. The wedding always felt like it was about so much more than just the two of us. It became a celebration of every person who has loved us, supported us, and helped shape who we are.”
At 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Paige and her father started their procession down the aisle at the top of a grand stone staircase, before disappearing briefly into the trees and reemerging moments later for the final walk toward Tommy. “I thought those few minutes would be the most nerve-racking of my life, but they weren’t,” Paige reveals. “I felt completely carried by my dad, by our families, and by so much love. There was an incredible sense of peace.”
“I was weak in the knees [waiting for Paige], literally,” Tommy admits. “It felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest, and I couldn’t hold back tears.”
“It almost felt like I was floating,” Paige remembers. “I felt so present in the moment. It almost felt as though it was just Tommy and me. When I asked Tommy afterward how he would describe the ceremony in one word, he said ‘emotional.’ Every piece of it: the classical music, the blessing, our vows, and being surrounded by the people who shaped our lives felt deeply personal.”
After the ceremony, the newlyweds were intentional about spending as much time as possible with their guests. To that end, they kept their post-ceremony wedding portraits efficient. “We took a handful of pictures and then hurried straight to cocktail hour because we didn’t want to miss a minute of it,” Paige says. “At the end of the day, the wedding wasn’t about creating photos—it was about celebrating with the people we love most.”
Paige changed into a custom backless Carolina Herrera dress with an oversized bow embellishment, adapted from a pre-fall 2025 collection look, to cut the cake. Finally, she wore a custom Wiederhoeft mini dress for the after-party, which took place on the grounds as made-to-order espresso martinis and Jell-O shots were passed around.
Looking back just a few days later, Paige struggles to put the wedding and what it all meant into words. “The overwhelming feeling I have is gratitude,” she says. “Looking around and seeing every person who has loved us, encouraged us, and shaped us throughout our lives all in one place is something I’ll never forget. It felt like the most beautiful beginning to our marriage.”
“It feels like we threw the party of the decade,” Tommy adds. “It was so special. And this next chapter with Paige is something I’ve been looking forward to since the day we met.”
