25 Hand-Picked Formal Guest Dresses

Tux vs. Suit: What's the Difference?

Dress code is formal with tropical spring vibes. Ladies, think tea-length or full length dresses/pantsuits in sunset-inspired colors like pinks, oranges, purples, and blues. Gentlemen - airy suits, linens, or sport coats in any color work beautifully. The ceremony and reception will take place outdoors, weather permitting, on the pier and terrace (not in the sand), so formal dress shoes are perfectly appropriate.

Our Favorite Places

General Horseplay

Our second favorite bar in KW to get Espresso Martinis!Pro Tip: Say yes to the glitter!

22&Co

A lively spot to catch live bands while munching on popcorn — a must for a fun night out!

Green Parrot Bar

This complex has eight bars to explore. The best spot for karaoke is downstairs, from midnight until close. Upstairs, you’ll find the club, which connects to Durty Harry’s, home of The Durtbags. Next door is the Tree Bar, serving fresh-squeezed palomas and margaritas, and it links to a tasty pizza place that stays open until 3:30 a.m.

Rick's Bar

Second floor of this bar is the best place to play pool and darts. But if you wander up to the third floor... you'll end up at rooftop bar of Adam &amp; Eve, where the drinks are strong and the dress code is... optional.

The Bull

An aquaholics paradise. This bar has a giant pool and several tiki bars with food, drinks, and party music.

Dante's Key West Pool Bar & Restaurant

Best conch fritters and appetizers overlooking the marina. Great IPAs on tap here!

Conch Republic Seafood Company

A hidden gem perfect for dinner! This local Italian restaurant serves the best homemade pasta. We never leave KY without eating here. Super affordable, with generous portions that are more than enough. Note: They don’t take reservations for parties under six. We recommend sitting outside on the patio.

Mangia Mangia

A breezy Italian spot with wood-fired pizzas and an old-world wine list — pizza and vino perfection! There's a second Onlywood on Caroline St but we prefer this location.

Onlywood Pizzeria Trattoria

There’s a reason Jimmy Buffett sang about this restaurant. It offers amazing water views, great service, tasty drinks, and delicious food. A 10/10 upscale spot that we especially love for brunch or a late lunch. Reservations are recommended.

Louie's Backyard

Iconic landmark for Floridian-Caribbean cuisine. The yellowtail snapper is hands-down the best dish on the menu.

Blue Heaven

Upscale, fine-dining restaurant that is worth every dollar. Lunch is more affordable, but you can’t beat the sunset views at dinner. You’ll need to take a ferry (free with reservations) from behind Opal to reach the restaurant; it runs every 30 minutes. Highly recommend arriving before sunset—the views are unbelievable. Make reservations online and go—you’ll love it.

Latitudes - Sunset Key Cottages

Amazing small, romantic, cozy restaurant that feels like a private chef is cooking just for you and your party—truly deserving of a Michelin star. Reservations are required and fill up fast for their set 6pm and 8pm dinner seatings, which feature a four-course meal. The restaurant is BYOB, so feel free to bring as many bottles of wine as you’d like without paying a corkage fee. Cards are not accepted, so be sure to bring cash or plan to pay via Venmo.

Lola's Bistro Key West

A hole-in-the-wall Cuban restaurant with amazing food and tasty pitchers of sangria! Super affordable, with generous portions that are just a little more than you can finish.

El Siboney Restaurant

Mouth watering dessert restaurant that is to die for. It's so good you won't want to share. Reservations strongly recommend. Maximum of 4 guests allowed per reservation.

Better Than Sex - A Dessert Restaurant

The best spot to watch the sunset and catch live performances! While you're here, stop by Pepe's for a strong, yet tasty mojito to-go made with authentic Cuban rum.

Mallory Square

Our favorite store for clothes, whether it's for a special occasion or just everyday comfort! We absolutely love the owner and her amazing staff. Stop by for stylish Key West apparel or the perfect souvenir to take home!

Things to Do

Once upon a time in Pensacola Beach, during the summer of 2022, Tyler and Michelle were both soaking up the sun at the Blue Angels Air Show — completely unaware that they had grown up in nearby towns, shared a few mutual friends, and yet had somehow never crossed paths. Enter Michelle’s mom, the ultimate matchmaker. She happened to meet Tyler at a friend’s boat and immediately decided he needed to meet her daughter. A short stroll (or swim) later, Tyler was introduced to Michelle on her parents’ boat. A few Jell-O shots were shared, conversation flowed easily, and sparks began to fly — until Tyler waded back to shore without exchanging numbers. Luckily, fate — and a gentle nudge from one of Tyler’s co-workers — stepped in. He soon realized there was a message waiting in his Facebook DMs from Michelle, asking if he wanted to grab another drink. Their first date was an instant success: dinner, a few competitive rounds of Connect 4, and espresso martinis to seal the deal. From that night on, it was clear to everyone that something special had begun. What started as a chance meeting on the water has turned into the greatest adventure — and now they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you!
