Lulu Events designer, Vicki Blood, had no intention to reinvent the wheel of redefining romance; instead, the designer and her team blended coastal elegance and charm with the modern touches inherently married to the landscape of the Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa. The cornerstone of their vision was to deliver a sense of extravagance that is effortlessly connected to its seaside surroundings, inviting guests to indulge in a carefully curated fusion of organic coastal celebration that is as breathtaking as it is intimate. The design and experience were cultivated to challenge the typical vision of a coastal space. Every detail is creatively designed to honor the nature of the coastal scenery with a unique, earth-toned color palette representing an ethereal and raw setting while complimenting the opulence of the resort’s scenery.




The delicate touches of lilac infused with white florals create an ambiance of ethereal and serene romance. Lush greenery interspersed with these soft-hued blooms establishes a vibrant yet understated aesthetic, enhancing the organic and effortless beauty of the pieces and their surroundings. While honoring the coastal beauty, the color palette of our design demonstrates the possibility of hosting a coastal celebration utilizing the unique, fresh colors to complement the existing perfection of the location.


Cascading floral arrangements and verdant accents integrate the seaside setting seamlessly, evoking an environment of tranquility and opulence. Incorporating seamless and spontaneous touches of modern sophistication and statement floral pieces transforms the space into a home for connection and celebration. This approach creates a captivating atmosphere where every detail, from the elegantly draped tables to the chic lounge areas, reflects a seamless integration of coastal charm and contemporary style.
