Style and sophistication are the terms that come to mind when describing Amanda and Matt’s November wedding at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, FL. The couple glammed things up with a classic black and white color palette, a jaw-dropping vintage inspired gown (paired with a cathedral length fishnet veil), and an antique Model T getaway car. Jesse Netsch Photography was there to document the elegance.

Nika and Scott got married at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers Florida in December of 2008, but the ceremony was too beautiful not to share. With a ceremony so late in the year, the temperature was comfortable and the light was heavenly.
Nika and Scott’s wedding incorporated two religions, Christianity and Baha’i, making this a unique and personal experience for both of them. The photos below were taken by Images Wedding Photography.

Geremy and Troy are one of those couples that remind you of sunshine. Everytime I run into these two, I can’t help but have a good time. The details of their March wedding at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, Florida truly reflected both their sense of style and their sense of humor. The cermony took place at sunset under the great Mysore Fig Tree whose leaves were just beginning to sprout after a long Florida winter.
“We chose The Edison & Ford Winter Estates because we were going for the historic look of Fort Myers. You can’t get more historic than getting married at The Edison & Ford Winter Estates! We had our reception at The Edison Restaurant to complete the historic feel. We didn’t want to do the typical Florida beach wedding. We loved the grounds at the Estates because of the scenery and just the overall beauty of the grounds. We absolutely loved getting married in front of the big fig tree. Just the way the sun was coming through the branches made it feel unbelievable!” says Troy.
We agree! Take a look at these magical photographs captured by Jamie Lee Photography and see if you feel the same way (click photos to enlarge):
-
-
The Bride, the Groom, the Maid of Honor, and the Best Man spell out LOVE in sparklers at the reception.
-
-
Before the end of the night, Geremy put on her Chuck Taylor’s and danced the night away with hubby, Troy at The Edison Restaurant.
-
-
The Groom’s cake was a silver and blue Harley Davidson gas tank.
-
-
This incredible black and white wedding cake was created by Vicki’s Sweet Things. Also, note the rhinestone encrusted servingware!
-
-
Fitting the black and white theme of the wedding, the couple gave favors of snow caps in little clear jelly jars.
-
-
The centerpieces on the reception tables were simple but elegant arrangements of white and purple flowers on a black and white linen surrounded by votive candles.
-
-
The Mysore Fig Tree is full of magic and wonder!
-
-
This photo really shows off the tropical paradise that is the Edison & Ford Winter Estates.
-
-
Jamie Lee Photography did a spectacular job catching the sunlight in these photos.
-
-
The sun sets on the Caloosahatchee River as Geremy & Troy enjoy the view from Edison’s porch.
-
-
The moonlight garden is too romantic to miss a photo opp!
-
-
Geremy & Troy take some time to enjoy the blooming bougainvillea in the Moonlight Garden.
-
-
The bridesmaids got their chance to tease Troy. It takes a lot of trust to let six women carry you!
-
-
Before the ceremony, Geremy & Troy wrote letters describing all the things they love about each other. During their wedding, officiant David Thompson of BareFoot We Wed, had them place their letters into a small box containing a single bottle of wine. “Keep this bottle in plain sight in your home. Should your marriage ever hit a rough spot, before you make any rash decisions, open the bottle of wine, pour each other a glass, and read your letters,” he said. This wine ceremony had everyone tearing up!
-
-
This was such a fun group of people! The groomsmen couldn’t resist the urge to joke about the cathedral length veil Geremy wore.
-
-
The leaves were just beginning to sprout on the great Mysore Fig Tree on Ford’s Riverside Lawn. The light peering through the branches set the romantic ambience of the event.
-
-
Whimsical tunes from the Hammered Dulcimer and Flute filled the air at this unique ceremony.
-
-
Signature Florals designed these beautiful flower “nests” that hung so beautifully from shepards hooks down the aisle.
-
-
Each of the groomsmen (and even the ringbearer) wore Converse Chuck Taylors as part of their wedding day attire.
-
-
Geremy’s junior bridesmaid wore a sweet white corsage and her flower girl carried an adorable white flower ball.
-
-
The six bridesmaids all wore knee length black dresses in different styles and carried simple white bouquets.
