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.
