Casey Johnson and Shay Sullivan’s wedding was a masterclass in moody, maximalist romance, drawing inspiration from the decadent world of Saltburn, Emerald Fennell’s visceral streaming phenomenon. The design leaned into drama at every turn, with a striking pink-draped staircase setting the tone for a ceremony that felt glamorous and unexpected. Shay’s bridal looks included a Kim Kassas ceremony gown, followed by a show-stopping feathered reception dress that was made for the dance floor. Casey matched the fashion-forward energy in a look that felt polished yet distinctly cool. And then there was the cake: an impossibly tall, sculptural confection that practically demanded its own moment. From the staircase to the final layer of the iconic cake, every detail was designed to make an entrance.
Westwood’s take?
If Casey and Shay’s wedding proves anything, it’s that the most impactful celebrations embrace the unexpected. A dramatic staircase, a feathered reception look, and an almost impossibly tall cake transformed classic wedding elements into something entirely new. Westwood’s thoughtfully-designed spaces give couples that same freedom to experiment, layer, and create something that feels completely personal.

A lesson in old-world glamour with a distinctly Newport vibe, Brigette Pheloung, better known as her instagram handle Acquired Style and Mitch McHale’s wedding was every bit as fashion-forward as her signature aesthetic. Set against the coastal backdrop of Newport, the celebration leaned into timeless Rhode Island coastal romance with lush white florals, dramatic silhouettes, and a polished sense of occasion. Brigette’s Vera Wang gown was the ultimate statement, pairing a sculptural drop waist and full ballgown skirt with an oversized rose detail for a look that felt both romantic and fashion forward. From the old-world setting to the sophisticated styling, this was a wedding that made a case for glamour and made it look effortless.
Westwood’s take?
The return of the formal wedding is officially having a moment. We’re taking notes. At Westwood, we’re seeing more couples embrace the idea that a wedding can feel like a moment: dress up, make it grand, and give your guests a reason to remember the room they walked into.

Classic Malibu glamour met modern fashion at Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns’s wedding, held at a private oceanfront estate overlooking the Pacific. Jordyn’s three custom Danielle Frankel looks brought a distinct edge to the weekend, while Karl kept things timeless in Ralph Lauren. The celebration itself was elegant but deeply personal, with white roses and hydrangeas framing the oceanfront setting, sentimental details honoring their families, and a reception that traded the traditional for the unexpected; four wedding cakes followed by late-night In-N-Out. It was polished, glamorous, and theirs!
Westwood’s take?
Sometimes the most memorable wedding detail isn’t something you can buy; it’s the story behind it. Jordyn and Karl wove meaning throughout their celebration, from a ring designed around their families to personal touches that made an ultra-glamorous wedding feel intimate. At Westwood, we’re big believers that the details guests remember most are the ones that actually mean something to you. Your wedding should look beautiful, yes – but it should also feel like your life, your people, and your story.

Tennis met old-world glamour at Paige Lorenze and Tommy Paul’s wedding at Old Westbury Gardens. The celebration subtly nodded to Tommy’s world through its tennis-inspired details and guest list of fellow pros, while Paige approached the weekend in a very editorial manner. She wore three custom looks throughout the celebration: a strapless Carolina Herrera gown for the ceremony, a second Carolina Herrera look featuring an oversized bow for the cake cutting, and a playful Wiederhoeft mini for the after-party. Tommy brought his own fashion moment in custom Burberry, with multiple looks spanning the wedding weekend. Where tennis, fashion, and a little bit of East Coast romance meet at center court.
Westwood’s take?
Personalization is in the details, but it’s also in the freedom to let your wedding shift, surprise, and reveal more of who you are as the celebration unfolds.
If these four weddings have taught us anything, it’s that the best celebrations are the ones with a point of view. Shay and Casey embraced dramatic, Saltburn-inspired design; Brigette and Mitch brought old-world Newport glamour into the spotlight; Jordyn and Karl balanced high fashion with deeply personal details; and Paige and Tommy made their wedding feel theirs through fashion and subtle nods to their tennis world. Four completely different celebrations, each telling a story through the details.
And maybe that’s the biggest takeaway: inspiration doesn’t mean imitation. Take the dramatic staircase, the statement gown, the second look, the towering cake, the family heirloom, or the tiny nod to something you love and make it your own! At Westwood, we believe the best weddings aren’t defined by a single aesthetic. They’re defined by the couple behind them.
