Tennis icon and entrepreneur Venus Williams and actor-director Andrea Preti’s love story is one of intention, balance, and deeply personal celebration. The couple honored their relationship across two distinct moments: First with a private ceremony in Italy, where their story began, and later with a thoughtfully curated, week-long wedding in Palm Beach, a place Venus has long called home.
From sunrise vows and intimate milestones to immersive, joy-filled events shared with loved ones, their journey reflects a modern approach to weddings: one rooted in meaning, memory, and presence.
Read their story in the new issue of The Knot Magazine, on newsstands now.

Lainey Wilson and Devlin “Duck” Hodges are officially married! 🤍 The couple first met in 2021 after being set up on a blind date in Nashville that turned into a honkytonk night out. And true to the country star’s style, the wedding was all about authenticity. “We’re really trying to make it feel like our world,” she says in a recent interview with The Knot. “We just want it to feel honest, like if you walked in, you’d say, ‘Yep, that’s them.’”
From meaningful music and food to a bridal look with a little Western flair, every detail reflected their real-life love story. Congrats to the happy couple!🤠

celebrity decoy weddings might be the new norm 💍🤫. from kim kardashian and kanye west’s florence ceremony to the ultra private approach around selena gomez and benny blanco, celebrity wedding privacy is getting next level. so when it comes to taylor and travis’s wedding, do you think they’d have a decoy as a distraction from the real thing?

we're taking inspiration from this colorful wedding at the weisman art museum: "our wedding was a maximalist, colorful, studio 54-inspired celebration, with a distinct lebanese flair… from the physical disco ball save the date to the color-matched peanut M&M favors guests took home, no detail was spared.”
ethan and alex's wedding planner, gretchen culver, even created a custom design patterned throughout the wedding, which flowed through various accents like their tablecloths, invitation suite and even their passed appetizer trays. the national flower of lebanon also took center stage: poppies. their team of vendors found ways to weave the rainbow of colors into their floral displays, decorations and attire, making the artistic space pop even more. click the link in our bio to learn more about this stunning wedding.
