A Colorful Key West Rehearsal Dinner at First Flight

Inside Susan & Alpi’s Vibrant Key West Rehearsal Dinner

When Susan and Alpi imagined their Key West rehearsal dinner, they wanted more than just a meal. They wanted to welcome their guests with an unforgettable night in tropical paradise. With just a short timeframe to pull it all together, their vision of bright colors and jungle-inspired style came to life beautifully at First Flight, one of Key West’s most unique venues.

Nestled in the heart of downtown, First Flight’s garden terrace is the perfect blend of convenience and charm. While steps away from lively Duval Street, the terrace feels like a private tropical escape. Exactly what Susan and Alpi envisioned for their welcome celebration. Guests arrived to a vibrant cocktail hour decorated with lush florals, pops of greenery, and whimsical monkey figurines that set the tone for the evening.

Dinner followed on a long family-style table, designed with layers of tropical details. Pineapples and bright blooms lined the center, while colorful candles and votives glowed against the night. Playful cheetah figurines added personality, and bamboo chairs with woven chargers tied the entire design together. A favorite detail of the evening? The dried orange slice place cards, which gave each setting a fresh, colorful touch.

As everyone enjoyed First Flight’s delicious buffet, friends and family stood to share heartfelt toasts. The evening was filled with love and laughter. And because no Key West celebration is complete without a little dancing, the night ended on the terrace dance floor—where even the youngest guests showed off their best moves.

This Key West rehearsal dinner was the perfect start to Susan and Alpi’s wedding weekend. With its tropical design, thoughtful details, and lively atmosphere, it set the stage for the celebrations to come and gave guests a true taste of paradise.
