Sip & Serve: A Luxury Pickleball Wellness gathering at La jolla Beach & Tennis Club
On a perfect coastal morning in La Jolla, Sip & Serve: A Luxury Pickleball Wellness Gathering brought together movement, connection, and elevated design at the iconic La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Hosted by Lavis & Co. and The Societe Privee, the event blended wellness culture with refined hospitality, creating a vibrant experience where guests could enjoy sport, community, and beautifully curated details.
For Sage & Autumn, it was an opportunity to design florals that complemented the lively yet sophisticated atmosphere of the day.
Designing Florals for an Experiential Event
Luxury events today are about more than décor — they are about creating an immersive experience. Every design element should contribute to how guests feel in the space.
For Sip & Serve, the goal was to bring a fresh, garden-inspired aesthetic that felt effortless, vibrant, and welcoming. The floral palette featured cheerful yellows, soft creams, fresh greens, and playful seasonal textures that reflected both the sunny La Jolla setting and the energetic spirit of the event.
The floral design was intentionally placed around the spritz bar and gathering areas, creating a focal point that invited guests to pause, sip, and connect. Layered blooms, organic movement, and cascading stems gave the arrangements a natural garden feel while maintaining the elevated aesthetic expected at luxury gatherings.
Thoughtful Details That Elevate an Event
One of the most beautiful aspects of this event was how thoughtfully every detail was curated.
From the signature spritz cocktails to the playful pickleball theme, each element worked together to create a cohesive and memorable experience. The florals added softness and movement to the space, transforming a simple bar setup into a styled moment that felt both inviting and refined.
These are the kinds of design moments that guests remember — the ones that feel effortless but are carefully considered behind the scenes.
The Work Behind the Beauty
While guests experience the final design on event day, producing florals for luxury events involves a thoughtful process long before the first guest arrives.
It begins with moodboards and design concepts, followed by sourcing seasonal blooms, calculating precise stem counts, coordinating logistics, prepping every stem, and designing each arrangement with intention. On event day, everything comes together with careful delivery, installation, and final styling to ensure every detail looks just right.
The result is a seamless experience where the florals feel naturally integrated into the event.
A Successful and Memorable Gathering
Sip & Serve was a wonderful example of how luxury events can blend lifestyle, wellness, and elevated design. The energy throughout the morning was vibrant, social, and effortlessly elegant — a testament to the thoughtful vision of the hosts.
Events like these are a reminder that florals are more than decoration. When designed intentionally, they help shape the atmosphere of a gathering and elevate the guest experience.
Sage & Autumn was honored to contribute floral design to such a beautiful event and looks forward to collaborating on more luxury experiences in the future.
