Josie & Teddy | The Ocean Club of Florida
What helped create this breezy classic oceanside wedding? Read more to see what elements we pulled together to bring Josie’s vision to life.
Josie and Teddy’s wedding was chic, classic, and allowed the backdrop of the ocean at the Ocean Club of Florida to shine.
We wanted the ocean, the sky, and the crash of the waves to be the focal point. Luckily, they even got an appearance from the full moon.
We brought in texture on a statement bar with a gorgeous linen overlay. Kept florals monochromatic and fluffy. Brought in cafe lights to create an intimate and magical feeling, a weathered oak dance floor that felt like driftwood and kept everything crisp with moments of antique-style elements to keep it feeling grounded and classic.
Their welcome party was a sunny celebration that allowed guests to mingle and relax at The Ocean Club of Florida. The club ended up feeling like the backyard of Josie and Teddy’s home, as they would welcome guests back the next day to celebrate their marriage.
What helped create the breezy classic oceanside wedding?
Attire that was frothy, blue and white, like the crash of an ocean wave.
Cafe lights that felt like stars strung across the sky. Antique-style vessels were used for monochromatic white blooms. A statement bar with textured linens and large floral arrangements anchored the expansive green space. A weathered oak dance floor evoked driftwood, and clear glass candle accents created ambiance and simplistic refinement. But the part that always elevates a wedding to me? True linen linens. The light reflects differently off a natural texture as opposed to a white poly. Your pictures will look all the more soft and chic if a natural fiber is used.
Final touch? The ocean breeze and a couple in love.

Sweet words from the bride
“I don’t even know where to begin! Thank you, truly, for everything you did to make our wedding so beautiful, meaningful, and seamless. From our very first email exchange, your calm energy and thoughtfulness gave me such a sense of peace. You had this incredible way of making even the most overwhelming decisions feel manageable. Your organization, insight, and gentle guidance brought everything together in a way that felt so personal and true to us.
And the flowers! Jenny, I was absolutely blown away! They were beyond gorgeous. Every single arrangement was stunning, from the bouquets to the boutonnieres to the lush centerpieces. The two large floral arrangements at the church especially took my breath away. They were so grand and elegant. It made my heart so happy when I saw them again later on the satellite bar at the reception, they added so much beauty to every space they touched.
It’s not lost on me how many hours and moving parts went into this day. Your grace, professionalism, and patience did not go unnoticed. I was able to be fully present and in the moment, knowing you had everything under control behind the scenes. That is such a gift, and one I will never forget!!
So many people told us it was one of the most special weddings they’ve ever attended, and that is in no small part thanks to you.
With all my love and deepest gratitude,”

Mary + Spencer are joy bottled up. They illuminate around each other. They look at each other, I mean really look at each other. It isn’t just one of them looking, it is both of them looking at each other with the same, “I can’t believe this is my person” look on their face every single time. During their first dance Mary twirled around the floor as they sang to each other, and I sat on the sidelines weeping like a weirdo. Their love is palpable.
Before scrolling through this gallery any further, do yourself a favor and queue up Mary + Spencer’s first dance song: “I Will Follow You” performed by Toulouse. Got it? Ok great, now a little gush session on these two. There are all kinds of couples in the world. There are serious couples focused on careers and goals. There are playful wander off into the wilderness for years couples. There are some that fall in the middle, some who have known each other since they were five, or those who found each other again after years apart. Regardless of the coupling, it’s those little sparks that ignite two people to choose each other. Mary + Spencer are joy bottled up and it feels electric. They light up around each other. They look at each other, I mean really look at each other. It isn’t just one of them looking, it is both of them looking at each other with the same, “I can’t believe this is my person” look on their face every single time. During their first dance Mary twirled around the floor as they sang to each other, and I sat on the sidelines weeping like a weirdo. Their love is palpable. When I asked Spencer if he was ready right before walking down the aisle all he said to me was, “I’m just so ready to marry her”. Not in a rushed let’s get this over with kind of way. Nope, this was in a way which made you really believe he had been waiting for this moment his whole life - or at least since the moment he had met Mary.
