by Tori Lawless, Event Coordinator

There are so many things to think about when trying to put together your wedding. If you don’t already have a florist in mind, how do you know where to start? I interviewed one of the Estates’ Preferred Florists, JH Designs, to get some insight on what you should know before choosing a wedding florist.

Who is JH Designs?

We are a wedding specialty shop with floral services, rental equipment, reception décor and accessories, party favors and invitations. JH Designs is a family run business owned by Helen Singleton, a graduate of the South Florida School of Floral Design. All Fort Myers natives, Helen’s daughter, Reba, and sister, Jean, work in the shop as well. Helen owned and operated a successful full service flower shop for ten years prior to opening JH Designs in 1991. The shop was recognized in The Knot’s Best of Weddings for 2007/2008, and 2008/2009.

What are some creative touches you are seeing with bridal bouquets?

We use beads, pearls, rhinestones, and crystals in our bouquets (depending on the bride’s preference). We also incorporate specialty ribbons for wrapping stems. On occasion, the bride may have a family heirloom to include in the bouquet such as a bible, rosary beads, photos, jewelry, initials, or handkerchiefs. These added touches make for a unique bouquet that has sentimental value to the bride.

What are the most common bouquet styles?

Hand-tied Bouquet: This is our most popular request. Flowers are gathered in a “loose arrangement” and wrapped with ribbon with a few stems exposed or completely wrapped depending on preference.

Cascading Bouquet: The cascade is a more traditional bouquet where the flowers are formed to hang downward in a long or short tail. The length and size of the bouquet are typically proportionate to the size of the bride.

Arm/Presentation Bouquet: This type is a bouquet of long-stem flowers that is carried in the crook of the arm rather than in both hands.

What types of flowers do you suggest for outdoor weddings in Florida?

It depends on the season. In the fall, winter, and spring, just about any flower that is in season will survive the outdoor elements for the ceremony. The summer months can be a challenge. The most popular choices are roses, calla lilies, and orchids.

Why should a bride hire a florist rather than buy and arrange her own flowers?

Planning a wedding can be a tremendous task. The perceived cost savings of arranging your own flowers does not factor in the time and frustration it takes to try to duplicate the designer look. It is not always less expensive or as easy as it may seem. For many brides, hiring a trusted professional for your wedding is a true savings of money and stress in the long run.

What qualities should a bride look for when deciding on a florist?

Experience, quality of flowers, recommendations from other brides and vendors, and value for price should all be considered. It is important to us at JH Designs that the bride feels at ease and that we understand and produce the look that they desire for their wedding. That element of trust between the bride and her florist is very important. We are extremely proud of the fact that many of our brides become dear friends throughout the wedding planning process.

When looking through the photos of Virginia and Cameron’s March wedding in the Coconut Grove at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, “Pretty In Pink” is what comes to mind. There are elements that hint at an “Old Florida” theme and there are even a few references to birds, a play on Cameron’s last name, Byrd. But the theme most important to the couple when planning their big day was “Fun.”

Fun is definitely what they got when they hired wedding planners Kristi Edwards and Julie Johnson of Happily Ever After to make their dreams become reality. Below is the proof in photos taken by Luminaire Foto.

Click photos to enlarge:

: What could be more fun at a wedding reception than a photo booth?

: What started off as a sweet slow dance to “Isn’t She Lovely” quickly morphed into a hilarious ensemble including “Walk Like An Egyptian” and “Cotton Eye Joe” (seen here).

: Virginia and her dad secretly took dance lessons and performed a choreographed routine to a medley of various tunes.

: Mason’s Bakery created a classic white wedding cake adorned with pink roses.

: The reception was pretty in pink with orchids, roses, and hydrangea centerpieces topped with jewel draped branches. The brown chivari chairs donned pink sashes and the tables were named after Florida birds.

: Virginia and Cameron were whisked away in a 1926 Model T getaway car.

: Cameron sweeps Virginia off her feet in front of the Mysore Fig Tree on Henry Ford’s Riverside Lawn.

: The Moonlight Garden is especially beautiful in March as the bougainvillea is in full bloom.

: Taking advantage of the exotic and oh-so-photogenic trees that populate the Estates, the bridal party is artfully arranged in the Lofty Fig.

: Cameron’s groomsmen looked especially dapper with their navy vests and baby blue ties. Their boutonnieres were white roses.

: Virginia’s bridesmaids wore strapless knee length dresses in baby blue with ivory sashes. Their bouquets were bright pink and white roses.

: Virginia and Cameron chose Edison’s Coconut Grove overlooking the Caloosahatchee River and Thomas Edison’s Pier for their ceremony location.

: A throwback to the laid back lifestyle of the old south, the rings were carried in on bamboo cane fishing poles.

: White hydrangeas and pink roses were tied to the chairs and the aisle was lined on either side with rose petals.

: The pink and orange invitation suite featured tropical frangipani flowers.

: It was hard to resist references to our winged friends when the couple’s last name is Byrd.

: Virginia’s gifts to her bridesmaids included pink satin robes with the girls initials embroidered, matching flip flops, funky sunglasses, and pearl necklaces.

: The girls had a great time goofing off while getting ready at Virginia’s parents’ home.

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.

When you meet your soulmate, you expect to have a lot in common. Having a common first name is not on that list of expectations. Though they spell it differently, I couldn’t help but call these two “The Ranees” (or “The Renes” – depending on who you ask).

The wedding took place on a beautiful November afternoon in the Royal Palm Allee on the historic Ford Property at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, FL. The tropical turquoise and coral decor really popped against the natural greens and browns of the Estates grounds. The photos below were taken by Meagan Mason Photography.

Click photos to enlarge:

: A wedding at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates is not complete without a photo in front of the famous Banyan Tree.

: Before starting their new lives together, the happy couple take a moment in the Moonlight Garden to reflect on their history together.

: Ranee and Rene in the vine covered pergola between Edison’s main house and guest house.

: The newly weds share a kiss in Henry Ford’s living room.

: The whole gang gathers on the steps of the Ford House.

: Rene and his groomsmen find a comfortable place in the sprawling roots of the Mysore Fig Tree.

: The bridesmaids wore stunning turquoise dresses with coral colored flowers in their hair.

: The ceremony was held in the Royal Palm Allee on the Ford Property.

: Ranee looked stunning in her strapless wedding gown with turquoise sash.
