Dairy Boy founder Paige Paul (formerly Lorenze) and professional tennis player Tommy Paul's love story began with an Instagram DM and led them to Old Westbury Gardens, the storied Gold Coast estate on Long Island, where they were married on July 14, one year after Tommy proposed on Nantucket.
As Paige shared glimpses of the celebration on Instagram, the internet immediately began zooming in on every post, tracking down each wedding detail. Behind these beautiful touches, though, was an event design defined by the same thoughtful intention and singular sense of style she brought to Dairy Boy.
Paul has spent years building Dairy Boy into more than a fashion label. Through product, content, retail spaces, and beyond, she's cultivated a lifestyle brand with a distinctly recognizable point of view, and naturally, her wedding was her most personal expression yet.

"I wanted every detail to tell the story of who we are, where we come from, and the life we're building together," she says about her creative ethos behind the weekend.
For Paige, that 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 wedding trends or other couples. "Rather than looking to one wedding, I found inspiration in old English and American estates, historic gardens, antique textiles, vintage entertaining, and timeless interiors," she says. "I spent far more time looking at architecture, heirlooms, and old books than wedding inspiration."
She ultimately enlisted OTM Directory planner Lynn Easton and her team at Easton Events to bring her vision to life. That vision was remarkably defined from the outset. "Honestly, Paige had a mood board prepared before she even signed our contract—a first for us," recalls Dawson Mitchell of Easton Events. "From there, we built a creative team we knew would resonate—a team that would honor her vision."
"Easton immediately understood what was important to me," Paul shares. "They listened so carefully to every idea we had and elevated it beyond anything I could have imagined while keeping it feeling authentic to us."
Mitchell adds, "I remember trying to pitch a new custom band backdrop concept early on. Paige, in true form, appreciated the design and the effort, but stuck to her guns and said, 'I think let's keep it simple.' Looking back, she could not have been more right. Her ability to lean on the quiet elements time and time again stacked up in a way that was incredibly chic and effective."

Working alongside Minted, Paul approached her invitation suite as the opening chapter of the guest experience rather than a standalone design moment.
"The estate itself inspired so much of the suite," Paul explains. "We referenced the gardens, architecture, wallpaper, and classic feeling of Old Westbury. The colors, typography, and paper choices all reflected the elegance of the property so guests received a first glimpse of the experience before they even arrived." The invitation suite served as an elegant introduction to the estate and weekend itself, so when guests entered Old Westbury Gardens, it felt less like a reveal and more like a long-awaited welcome.
"One of the happiest surprises was seeing how every creative decision started influencing the next," she says. "Once we had the invitations, they informed the menus, the place cards, and even some of the tabletop details. Everything began to speak the same language, which made the entire weekend feel incredibly cohesive."

The antique silver, sourced through Rosandich Studios, was where that idea of cohesion surfaced again. "I love that silver carries a sense of history," she says. "It has imperfections, patina, and character that newer pieces simply can't replicate." The same instinct ran through the layered neutrals, her custom Carolina Herrera gown by Wes Gordon, Tommy's Burberry tuxedo, and the florals.

Similarly, lace became its own subtle motif. "I've always loved lace because it feels romantic without needing to be overly ornate," Paul adds. "We incorporated it subtly throughout the weekend . . . so it became a recurring thread rather than one defining statement."
In many ways, the wedding reflected the same creative discipline that Paul's brings to Dairy Boy. Her wedding wasn't defined by any one detail, but by the way every element told her and Tommy's love story. "I think the most beautiful weddings are the ones that feel deeply personal," she says. Hers was, down to the patina on the silver.
