Caroline Wozniacki Wedding: Date Set, Details Revealed

Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki married former NBA player David Lee in Tuscany, Italy, on 15 June 2019. The couple, who began dating in 2017, tied the knot in front of 120 family members and friends at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco.

Caroline Wozniacki's wedding dress

For her wedding to former NBA player David Lee, tennis star Caroline Wozniacki wore a custom Oscar de la Renta gown, embroidered with Lyon lace. She accessorised with a gorgeous cathedral-length tulle veil and custom Jimmy Choo heels.

The night before the wedding, Wozniacki wore a glittery white Temperley London dress with colourful embroidery, her hair pulled back in a twisted updo with pieces framing her face. She also wore a bold red lip—a look befitting the La Dolce Vita dress code for her Italian-market-themed rehearsal dinner.

The wedding location

The ceremony itself took place along a 262-foot-long aisle, lined with white roses and purple snapdragons, and flanked by two large urns overflowing with flowers. This dramatic aisle was a departure from the estate's typical ceremony location, which usually takes place in the castle ruins or overlooks the hills.

The rehearsal dinner was held in the castle ruins, with music by the Italian band Gypsy Queens. The dinner featured food stands serving cuisine from different regions of Italy, including lamb chops, salami, tomatoes, hand-spun mozzarella, and risotto topped with truffles.

The wedding festivities kicked off with a welcome party and cocktail party, followed by a laser and fireworks show. The next day, guests participated in Olympic-inspired games, including tug-of-war, obstacle courses, and grape-smashing competitions.

The wedding day, executed by event producer Fait Accompli, also took place at the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, where blooms by Tuscany Flowers were prominent. The bride, Caroline Wozniacki, wore a custom Oscar de la Renta fern-and-floral-lace-embroidered gown with a cathedral-length tulle veil. The groom, David Lee, looked dashing in Tom Ford.

The guest list

Serena Williams, a fellow tennis star and close friend of Wozniacki, was a bridesmaid. Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, was also in attendance. Other tennis players at the wedding included Angelique Kerber.

NBA players were also well-represented, with Pau Gasol, Harrison Barnes, and Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings players in attendance. Former NFL player and TV host Jesse Palmer was also a guest.

The couple's wedding party and guests enjoyed a range of activities, including Olympic-inspired games and a market-themed rehearsal dinner. The celebrations took place over three days and included a cocktail party, fireworks, and a laser show.

The proposal

In 2017, Wozniacki began dating former NBA player David Lee, and the pair made their relationship public that summer. Lee proposed while the couple was on vacation in Bora Bora in November 2017. Lee had secretly picked up an 8.88-carat ring (a nod to Wozniacki's favourite number) during a layover in New York.

The hard part, according to Lee, wasn't popping the question, but asking permission from Wozniacki's father, Piotr, who had been her coach since she was a little girl. Piotr was thrilled, and after Wozniacki secured a place in the semifinals in Singapore, the couple headed to Bora Bora for vacation.

Lee organised a private dinner cruise, and as they watched the sun set over the South Pacific, he fumbled inside his backpack and proposed.

The wedding celebrations

On the wedding day, the couple exchanged vows in front of 120 family members and friends, including Serena Williams, who served as a bridesmaid, and Alexis Ohanian, Pau Gasol, Harrison Barnes, Jesse Palmer, and Angelique Kerber. The bride, Wozniacki, wore a custom strapless Oscar de la Renta wedding gown with a cathedral-length tulle veil, while the groom, Lee, looked dashing in Tom Ford. The ceremony, executed by event producer Fait Accompli, took place at Castiglion del Bosco, with blooms by Tuscany Flowers Florence.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests relocated for cocktails. A three-course dinner of Italian favourites was served, accompanied by heartfelt speeches. Lee's speech, in particular, stood out as he expressed his admiration for Wozniacki's dedication to tennis and the principles she lives by. He also shared a humorous story about their first encounter and how he ended up taking the "ferry walk of shame" home.

The evening continued with the cutting of the cake by Wedding Cakes in Tuscany. The couple's first dance was to "Love Someone" by Lukas Graham, who performed live, surprising Wozniacki. The bride then changed into a sparkling Stella McCartney sequin dress with spaghetti straps and custom Adidas sneakers to dance the night away.
