A Traditional Wedding at Oyster Bay Yacht Club in Fernandina Beach, Florida

While Jennifer Ginn (33 and a math teacher) and Todd Achilles (35 and in marketing) had a winter wedding, its blue, white and black accents made the day feel like springtime. Sara Purdy Photography was there to capture every detail, from the couple’s traditional Memorial United Methodist Church ceremony in the bride's parents’ hometown to their fun waterfront reception at Oyster Bay Yacht Club. The team at Dottie “B” Florist helped Jenn and Todd make the day that much more personal by incorporating her favorite bloom: “We wanted to keep things simple, and hydrangeas are my favorite flower,” says Jenn. “When the florist said he could get those in January, we went with hydrangeas and let that guide the color palette.” Jenn walked down the aisle with a bouquet of those blue hydrangeas surrounding a few white roses, and the same blue flowers were used throughout the wedding, from the bridesmaids’ bouquets to each low breakaway vase centerpiece at the reception. Another notable detail was Jenn’s mermaid-style Monique Lhuillier wedding dress. Her white one-shoulder gown was covered with sunning silver beading in an intricate pattern and came at an unexpected price. “It was a total steal at just a couple hundred dollars from Neiman Marcus's evening gown department,” she says. Jenn and Todd spent their night dancing with 105 friends and family members in Oyster Bay Yacht Club’s covered patio to Footloose Entertainment. “The DJ kept the dance floor hopping with great music all night,” says Jenn.
