We Still Do: Key West & Florida Keys Vow Renewals (2025–2027)
By Conch Concierge Weddings, Key West, Florida
Why renew your vows?
There’s a moment in every great love story when you pause, look at each other, and say, Yes—still, always, forever. A vow renewal is that moment. Couples choose to renew for all kinds of beautiful reasons:
- Milestone anniversaries (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50…)
- A new chapter (blending families, welcoming grandkids, a big move, retirement)
- Gratitude after a tough season (healing, growth, choosing each other again)
- The wedding you never had (now’s your time for a Grand Wedding Celebration)
Most of all, couples want connection—real hugs, real laughter, and photos that feel like them. Many write fresh vows, invite their children or grandkids to participate, and keep the day calm, joyful, and easy.
What’s trending now (2025–2027)
- Intimate or all-out: from “just us two” at sunrise to a full “second wedding” with everyone you love.
- Golden-hour magic: sunrise for quiet, private moments; sunset for warm, cinematic light.
- Travel-style celebrations: beach vow circles, garden ceremonies, island picnics, or a post-ceremony sail.
- Family-centered touches: ring blessings by the kids, group vows, multi-generation portraits.
- Candid photo/video: real moments over rigid posing—movement, laughter, happy tears.
- Cruise-day pop-ups: elegant, efficient ceremonies during a Key West port call.
Why Key West & the Florida Keys?
Because the Keys already feel like a celebration. Turquoise water, watercolor skies, and a welcoming, walkable island vibe. Old Town charm, historic gardens, and palm-lined beaches come together to create a setting that’s effortless and unforgettable—365 days a year.
A few favorite backdrops (just examples)
You don’t have to pick anything right now—tell us your vibe and guest count, and we’ll plan it all (venue, permits, décor, music, photos, dinner).
- Smathers Beach (Key West): classic turquoise shoreline and soft sand—perfect for sunrise or sunset.
- Fort Zachary Taylor: dramatic rock shoreline, teal water, and famous Key West sunsets.
- Key West Garden Club at West Martello: a seaside, historic garden oasis with arches and blooms.
- Sunset Key (by ferry from Key West): private-island feel just minutes away.
- Little Palm Island (Lower Keys): luxe, adults-only private-island escape for the ultimate “just us.”
