Autumn Romance: Becky & Steve | Historic Florida Wedding Location

Posted by edisonfordwinterestates On December 21st

It was mid-October and fall was just beginning to reach Southwest Florida. The leaves didn’t change, but love was in the air. Becky and Steve promised to love each other forever under 75 foot palm trees in Henry Ford’s Royal Palm Allee at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers. Photographer, Krista Kowalczyk, of Impressions Photography was there to take these amazing shots.

: The Estates boasts the largest banyan tree in the Continental U.S. – an irresistable photo backdrop!

: The mysore fig tree is the perfect symbol of strength and unity, with over 90% of its roots above ground, they must work as a team to keep the tree upright.

: Before taking that long walk down the aisle, Becky takes a deep breath and composes herself in the Ford’s dining room.

: Becky & Steve’s daughter couldn’t have been more perfect for the role of flower girl.

: The sound of strings played Becky down the aisle.

: Royal Palm Allee

: Becky & Steve enjoy their fist moments as husband and wife on the stairs inside the Ford House.

: What’s more appropriate than a kiss at the Friendship Gate?

: The vine-covered pergola between Edison’s main and guest houses is so perfectly romantic.

: The autumn theme was not lost on Becky’s bridesmaids, who wore long brown satin gowns. All ladies carried bouquets of oranges and yellows.

: Mina’s Moonlight Garden is the best place to sneak away to!

: The water lily reflecting pool in the Moonlight Garden reflects more than just moonlight.

: Steve steals a kiss in the Tea House at the Swimming Pool.

: It wouldn’t be a fall wedding without candied apple escort cards.

A Classic Black & White Wedding: Amanda & Matt | Outdoor Florida Wedding Venue

Posted by edisonfordwinterestates On December 13th

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.
