Dairyboy founder Paige Paul (formerly Lorenz) and professional tennis player Tommy Paul’s love story began with an Instagram DM and led them to Old Westbury Gardens, located in the Gold Coast estate on Long Island, where they were married on July 14, a year after Tommy proposed on Nantucket.
As Paige shared glimpses of the celebration on Instagram, the Internet immediately began zooming in on every post, tracing every detail of the wedding. Behind those elegant touches, though, was an event design defined by the same thoughtful intent and singular sense of style he brought to Dairyboy.
Paul has spent years building Dairyboy into more than a fashion label. Through product, content, retail spaces, and beyond, she has developed a lifestyle brand with a clearly recognizable vision, and naturally, her wedding was her most personal expression yet.
“I wanted to tell the story of who we are, where we come from, and the life we’re building together in every detail,” she says of her creative ethos over the weekend.
For Paige, the process started not with a dress or a color palette, but with a place.
“The venue actually came first, and it informed almost every design decision we made after that,” she recalls. “The moment we visited Old Westbury Gardens, I knew I didn’t want to compete with its beauty. I wanted every detail to feel like it belonged there.”
For Paul, this meant resisting the temptation to turn to current marriage trends or other couples. “Instead of looking at a wedding, I was inspired by old English and American estates, historic gardens, antique textiles, vintage entertainment, and timeless interiors,” she says. “I spent more time looking at architecture, heirlooms and old books than wedding inspiration.”
He eventually enlisted OTM Directory planner Lynn Easton and his team at Easton Events to bring his vision to life. This approach was clearly defined from the beginning. “Honestly, Paige had developed a mood board before we even signed the deal,” recalls Easton Events’ Dawson Mitchell. “From there, we built a creative team that we knew would resonate — a team that would honor her vision.”
“Eston immediately understood what was important to me,” shares Paul. “He listened very carefully to every idea we had and made it feel authentic to us, pushing it beyond anything I could have imagined.”
Mitchell added, “I remember early on trying to come up with a new custom band backdrop concept. Paige, true to form, appreciated the design and effort, but stuck to her guns, saying, ‘I think keep it simple.’ In retrospect, she couldn’t have been more right. His ability to repeatedly lean on muted elements came together in a style that was incredibly chic and effective.
Working with Minted, Paul approached his invitation suite as the opening chapter of the guest experience rather than a standalone design moment.
“The estate itself greatly influenced the suite,” explains Paul. “We referenced the gardens, the architecture, the wallpaper, and the classic feel of Old Westbury. Color, typography, and paper choices all reflect the beauty of the property so that guests get a first glimpse of the experience before they even arrive.” The invitation suite served as a beautiful introduction to the estate and the weekend, so when guests entered Old Westbury Gardens, it felt less like a long-awaited welcome and more like a long-awaited welcome.
“One of the most pleasant surprises was how each creative decision began to influence the next,” she says. “Once we had the invitations, they communicated the menu, the place cards, and even some of the tabletop details. Everything spoke the same language, which made the whole weekend feel incredibly cohesive.”
The antique silver, acquired by Rosandich Studios, is where the idea of harmony came from again. “I love that silver has a sense of history,” she says. “It has imperfections, patina and character that new pieces can’t easily replicate.” That same instinct ran through layered neutrals, Wes Gordon’s custom Carolina Herrera gown, Tommy’s Burberry tuxedo, and florals.
Similarly, lace became its own subtle form. “I’ve always loved lace because it feels romantic without needing to be too ornate,” adds Paul. “We incorporated it over the course of the weekend … so it became a recurring thread rather than a defining statement.”
In many ways, Marriage reflects the same creative discipline that Paul brings to Dairyboy. Her marriage was not defined by any single detail, but every element told the story of her and Tommy’s love. “I think the most beautiful weddings are the ones that feel deeply personal,” she says. His was, to the patina on the silver.
