Winner of Best Event Design 2026: Eye-Catching Vibrant Hues in Full Bloom

A closer look at Thomas Bui Lifestyle & Design of Hotel del Coronado's winning design

May 29, 2026

Award-winning jewel-toned reception scene at Hotel del Coronado

Vibrant colors are in full bloom at this artistically bold wedding designed by Thomas Bui Lifestyle at the iconic Hotel del Coronado. The seaside ceremony was transformed into a luxurious garden with 300,000 hand-placed flowers, while the ballroom became a jaw-dropping oasis of color—bursting with sapphire and amethyst hues punctuated by pops of fuchsia.
