Classic Elegance Meets Downtown Fort Myers Charm

Guests: 60

Services Provided: Planning, Floral Design, Event Design & Wedding Day Coordination

​

Some celebrations are memorable not because they are extravagant, but because every element feels thoughtfully connected.

​

For this Fort Myers wedding, the day began with a traditional ceremony at St. John XXIII Catholic Church before guests gathered downtown for an evening of celebration overlooking the Caloosahatchee River.

​

The couple envisioned a wedding that felt elegant, welcoming, and timeless. With approximately 60 guests in attendance, the celebration balanced the intimacy of a close-knit gathering with the energy of a full wedding experience.

​

The Guest Experience

​

Following the ceremony, guests made their way to Oxbow Bar & Grill where cocktail hour unfolded on the terrace overlooking the river. As the sun began to set over downtown Fort Myers, guests enjoyed cocktails, conversation, and waterfront views before moving into the ballroom for dinner and dancing.

​

The transition from church ceremony to riverfront cocktail hour created a natural progression to the evening, allowing guests to experience multiple settings while maintaining a cohesive atmosphere throughout the celebration.

​

Floral Design & Styling

​

Floral elements were designed to complement both the traditional church setting and the contemporary waterfront reception venue.

​

From personal flowers to reception details, the floral design focused on creating an elegant and refined aesthetic that enhanced the architecture and atmosphere of each space while remaining true to the couple's vision.

​

Reception florals and design elements were thoughtfully selected to create warmth, texture, and visual interest throughout the ballroom while allowing the riverfront location to remain a focal point of the overall experience.

​

Favorite Moment

As guests gathered on the terrace overlooking the Caloosahatchee River during sunset, the celebration shifted effortlessly from ceremony to reception. The combination of waterfront views, thoughtful design, and meaningful moments created an atmosphere that felt both elegant and personal.
