I bought 2 St, Regis fans for my family room. I would like to connect these two fans to switches. One switch to control the blades, the other switch to control the lights. Is this possible? If so, how is it done?

No it's not, these fans come with a preinstalled remote that has to be used to control the fans. You can set them both to the same frequency so they both operate from the same remote.
