When former Miss USA Olivia Culpo and NFL superstar running back Christian McCaffrey tied the knot in a lavish coastal Rhode Island ceremony, the world took note. For our SHOUT! team, there was something truly unforgettable about this celebration: we had the distinct honor of designing and installing the Olivia Culpo wedding dance floor—a stunning, custom-crafted centerpiece for one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the decade.
From Vogue and People Magazine to The Today Show and The Knot, the McCaffrey-Culpo wedding captivated brides and designers nationwide. Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes of the decor, the historic venue, and the details behind that headline-grabbing custom dance floor.
Their Story: From Utah Engagement to Rhode Island “I Dos”
For those who followed their journey, San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey and model/entrepreneur Olivia Culpo began dating in 2019 and became engaged in 2023 during a romantic getaway in Utah. Both with deep ties to the East Coast, the couple celebrated their milestone with an intimate Fourth of July gathering in Olivia’s home state of Rhode Island before planning their storybook summer nuptials (The Knot).
Olivia’s Wedding Dresses: Timeless High Fashion
Olivia wore elegantly understated makeup for her wedding (Today.Com) and donned a simple, effortless, custom long-sleeved crew neck Dolce & Gabbana gown with back buttons. She accompanied her frock with a 16-foot-long veil to complete her traditional wedding ensemble. “I wanted something that felt as serious as that commitment,” she says (Vogue). The dress drew tons of attention on social media (Vogue Australia). There was no doubt that her ensemble was an absolutely breathtaking look, applauded by guests and admirers.
But why stop there? Nothing like a wardrobe change to add some drama to an entrance. While transitioning between the ceremony and the reception, Olivia changed into yet another Dolce and Gabbana dress. This gown draped off her shoulders and featured a high waist with a silk flower on the neck.
And finally, she changed into her final look of the night sometime later in the evening. This time opting for a silken body suit with a mini cage skirt, organza flowers, tulle gloves, and a flower choker.
The Wedding Deets . . .
Christian and Olivia were married on June 29, 2024. Their ceremony was held in the historic Watch Hill Chapel. The reception took place in the charismatically yellow Ocean House, both in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
The bride and groom were shuttled from the chapel to Ocean House in a vintage Rolls Royce for their timeless New England reception. The choice of transportation reflected the classic, chic and elegant style of the day’s events wonderfully.
Greenery lined the pathway to the Ocean House. Lush green garden florals were bountiful, as though they were native to the countryside. This was Olivia’s vision. Her event designers executed it perfectly, allowing the event florals to merge with the venue’s natural landscape, leaving no detail untended in the process. To put it in one word, the execution was seamless.
In true New England style, guests were treated to seafood and overflowing libations, including decadent chilled lobster rolls and champagne in addition to their main courses.
According to Vogue, guests walked through a floral archway bedecked with hydrangeas, peonies, and roses as they entered the outdoor venue tent. The table decor featured antique garden urn planters and vintage silver vases under the glow of glass chandeliers.
As the night progressed everyone headed to the SHOUT! dance floor for hours of enjoyment.
And as Olivia and Christian left for their afterparty back at Ocean House, their guests threw confetti.
Our Custom Luxury Dance Floor Brings the Room Together
While high-profile weddings may feature celebrity names and wedding dress designers to the stars, some things are universally true no matter who’s getting married.
And one of those truths: There will be dancing.
That’s why our SHOUT! Team was honored to be a part of the McCaffrey-Culpo wedding.
Their dance floor, a weathered checkerboard print and soft reflective sheen, was designed with their classic coastal wedding theme in mind.
It provided the perfect backdrop for their guests to dance the night away in style.
And as we do for all SHOUT! clients, we provided this lux look with our white-glove service: simple, streamlined planning, installation, and removal. This ensured that the couple and their event team could focus on the logistics of the day and enjoy this memorable occasion.
For SHOUT!, there’s just no greater feeling than being part of a happy couple’s memories. We’re delighted to have been a part of the McCaffery-Culpo wedding and look forward to breathing life into the visions of many more brides and grooms to come.
