There’s something truly magical about a Florida Keys sunset, and when paired with a romantic elopement at the breathtaking Kona Kai Resort, the result is pure perfection. This intimate waterfront ceremony was a stunning example of why the Florida Keys continues to be one of the most desirable destinations for elopements and small weddings.

Tucked away in Key Largo, Kona Kai Resort is a lush tropical oasis known for its botanical gardens, private beachfront, and peaceful atmosphere. It served as the ideal setting for our couple’s special day — private, serene, and naturally beautiful.

The bride looked absolutely radiant in a sleek, fitted gown with a dramatic row of buttons cascading down the back. She carried a vibrant tropical bouquet full of pink stargazer lilies, bright orange blooms, and fresh island greenery — the perfect complement to the natural Florida Keys backdrop.

We designed a driftwood arbor for the ceremony,  with fresh tropical floral sprays and soft flowing white draping. Palm fronds, lilies, roses, and bold pops of orange and pink gave the ceremony space a warm, island-inspired feel. Woven lanterns filled with flowers completed the look, lining the sandy path to the altar.

As the bride stood under the arbor, the ocean behind her, a sailboat drifted across the water just as the sun began to set — one of those picture-perfect moments we live for in the Florida Keys. There was no rush, no stress — just love, nature, and the quiet joy of two people starting their forever together.

The couple reserved our Palm Elopement Package, which includes everything needed to create a memorable and effortless experience — from custom florals and photography to a celebratory wedding cake, champagne toast, and music for the ceremony. All the thoughtful touches came together beautifully, allowing the couple to focus solely on each other and the moment they said “I do.”

Our all-inclusive approach makes planning an elopement in the Keys simple and stress-free. Whether you’re dreaming of a barefoot ceremony, ocean breezes, or just the peaceful feeling of an intimate escape, our Palm Elopement Package delivers it all.
