If this wedding has been all over your feed lately, same here.
Connecticut shoreline native Paige Lorenze married professional tennis player Tommy Paul at Old Westbury Gardens wearing a custom Carolina Herrera wedding gown designed by Wes Gordon, and we have not stopped thinking about it.
Her gown was everything we love about classic bridal with a fashion-forward point of view: a sculpted strapless bodice, beautifully defined waist and a dramatically full skirt that felt perfectly suited to the grandeur of the setting.
And if you’ve saved Paige Lorenze’s wedding dress but are thinking, I love it, but maybe that is a little too much dress for me, we have a few favorites in our own collection that give us a similar feeling.
Maybe you want less volume. Maybe you love the silhouette but want a little more detail. Or maybe you simply want your own interpretation of that clean, structured bridal look.
Here are 3 gowns we would start with.
Maya by Jenny Yoo
Price: $5,200 w/applique
Price: $4,600 no applique
If you love the drama and silhouette of Paige Lorenze’s Carolina Herrera wedding dress, Maya by Jenny Yoo is an easy place to start.
The structured neckline, defined waist and full skirt give you that same statement-making bridal feeling. Our Maya features floral appliqué throughout the skirt, making it a beautiful option if Paige’s completely clean gown feels a little too clean for you. And if it was the simplicity of her look that caught your attention, Maya can also be ordered without the appliqué for an entirely clean finish.
Loyola by Anne Barge
Price: $6,000
Love Paige Lorenze’s wedding dress, but thinking that might be a little too much dress for me? Meet Loyola by Anne Barge.
Loyola gives you that same polished, strapless and beautifully structured feeling with less volume through the skirt. Its A-line silhouette still has plenty of bridal presence, but offers a softer interpretation of the dramatic ball gown Paige wore down the aisle.
Ember by Jenny Yoo
Price: $5,200
If it’s the silhouette of Paige Lorenze’s wedding gown you love but you know you want more texture, Ember by Jenny Yoo gives you a completely different take on the look.
You still get that sculpted neckline, defined waist and fuller skirt, but allover lace brings in an entirely different layer of detail and romance. It’s a beautiful option for the bride who loves the shape of Paige’s gown, but knows a completely clean wedding dress isn’t quite her.
Love the Look? Make It Your Own.
The best part about wedding dress inspiration is that you don’t have to find the exact gown you saved.
Maybe you love Paige Lorenze’s Carolina Herrera gown because of the neckline. Maybe it’s the dramatic skirt. Maybe it’s simply that balance of timeless bridal and modern fashion that made you stop scrolling.
