    A true magician!

    2 months later our guests are still talking about the florals and how On and his team transformed a black canvas into a breathtaking vision. With a little direction and input he surpassed anything we imagined - especially with the creation of a show stopping centerpiece about the dance floor. Not only was On incredible to work with throughout the planning process but he truly cared about our day and helped to bring it a step above.

    Color, please and thank you!

    I have a habit that when it comes to color, I can go overboard. There can never be too much color for me in any design element. My mother, an interior designer, always has to reign me in. But when I met On it was clear we were kindred spirits with respect to color. This was a relief as I had a vision for the flowers for our daughter’s wedding and he was on board. I knew he would reign me in when needed. On asked me 2 questions: what’s your color and give me one adjective to describe your “look.” The color was peach and my adjective was whimsical. On took it from there. And then some. Really, all you need to do is look at the attached flowers to see his incredible work. The bridesmaids upon receiving their bouquets were flabbergasted, the bride was speechless when she saw her bouquet, when I saw what he had done for the ceremony I was floored, but when I saw the reception room in all its colorful, whimsical, glory I cried. For real. On’s focus on detail was outstanding, even going so far as to run up to my daughter right before she walked with her Dad down the aisle, to spray her bouquet to “make sure they look spectacular” in the heat we were experiencing. I don’t think I talked to one person at our reception who didn’t say, “but those flowers….” . I just can’t say enough about this wonderful man. Talented beyond words. A true floral artist. And just the nicest person.

    Wonderful florist

    Surroundings was amazing! Our flowers were beautiful and matched our colors perfectly for our wedding. All I did was send Steve a message that had our colors in it and a general idea of what I wanted, he came up with the bouquets etc and they were so great. Everything was beyond our wildest dreams. Such a great florist to work with for our wedding!!! I highly recommend them to anyone!!!

    On created the fairytale of my dreams

    On was a joy to work with from the beginning. He is a visionary and makes your fairytale dreams come true on your wedding day. He decorated the stairs of Glen Sanders Mansion so beautifully and it set the tone for our entire wedding: classy, elegant and something you’ll never forget. The arrangements were also some of the most unique flowers I’ve ever seen with such vibrant colors. Our cake was decorated with flowers and looked beautiful. I cannot recommend Surroundings enough for your next event, especially if it is your wedding.

    Florals for Black Tie Barn Wedding

    On truly captured my vision for my classy, elegant, black tie barn wedding at Lakotas Farm. Since I know nothing about flowers, it was a bit tough to relay my vision to On at first, but by the second trial, he had perfected my florals and even ordered me special votives to match my vision! The florals and flameless candles for the barn transformed the reception into a magical space. I got so many compliments on the florals and the quality and care was noticed by everyone! In addition, he created a beautiful floral arch for my ceremony that set the scene for the most beautiful photos. He also reused so many arrangements and florals to save me money...there is so much value in choosing Surroundings Floral as a vendor! I highly recommend On and his team for your event needs!

    Stunning Floral Designs!

    What a wonderful experience working with On from Surroundings for our wedding flowers! From planning our wedding from hours away, On made the entire process so easy. He was very adaptable to meet our vision and our budget. From the ceremony and sweetheart table displays, to the bouquets and boutonnieres, each and every floral design was stunning! Not only did we get beautiful flowers for our wedding, On’s designs were true pieces of art and we have received innumerable compliments. On captured everything we could’ve dreamed of for our wedding flowers, and we highly recommend Surroundings Floral Studio!

    The absolute BEST in the Capital Region

    I cannot say enough about Steve and On. I had a specific vision as I'm sure every bride does, and they absolutely delivered. All night, my guests were telling me how amazing the flowers were. People were in awe about how beautiful the flowers were. The flowers were absolutely stunning. Words can't express my gratitude!! Thank you!!

    Exceeded expectations

    Surroundings did the flowers for our August ‘21 wedding and they exceeded our expectations. Numerous people at the venue said that it was one of the best arrangements they’ve ever seen at a wedding. You are in great hands for any special occasion with Surroundings and we will definitely be using them for all of our floral needs in the future.

    The absolute best!

    On can do it all! The first day we stepped in his shop to talk about our wedding flowers we shared a few ideas, showed him a photo or two, and hoped he would see our vision. On proceeded to step into the back room and put together a centerpiece on the spot that was PERFECT! From that point on we knew we had to work with him! Every step of the way it felt like we could reference a photo or share a vague idea and On would know exactly what we were looking for and how to incorporate it into our day. Our guests were amazed by the arrangements On put together and every bouquet, centerpiece, and arrangement fit our day perfectly. On is patient, thoughtful, and listens to his couples. It is clear that he loves what he does and it shows in his work. We can’t thank him enough for helping to make our day beautiful!

    A True Artist

    Impossible finding the right words to describe the floral arrangements On, at Surroundings Floral Studio, created for our daughter’s November wedding! Sheer perfection, heavenly and breathtaking are a few that come to mind. During our first meeting, after a few questions to the bride, he put together an exquisite bouquet literally in minutes. He perfectly recreated it for the wedding and our daughter was overjoyed. On was so easy to work with and humbly accommodated our budget and changes. Bouquets and arrangements were bright and fresh, with big, bold, beautiful blooms! On is a floral genius, a gentleman and an artist with impeccable creativity. His vision of candles and flower arrangements brought softness, sparkle and luxury to the room while remaining tasteful and elegant. I truly will never forget the look of these flowers and the room. I remember someone telling me no one really notices the flowers... I beg to differ! Countless guests raved about the flowers and practically fought over who would take one of those giant creations home! Needless to say, we will be hiring him again.

    Most beautiful flowers ever!

    I could not have picked anyone else in the world to make my wedding flowers any more beautiful than they were. On Thai is AMAZING and we couldn’t have been happier with how our flowers turned out. He dropped the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets off at the hotel. I was getting my hair done at the time but as soon as my bridesmaids saw them they ran in to tell me they were the most beautiful flowers they’ve ever seen, and they were right. I showed him a picture of how I wanted the bouquets and he made them even better. He also did the prettiest arbor with flowers for our ceremony that I’ve ever seen. I was blown away when I arrived at the venue and saw it for the first time. I got so many compliments on the flowers and still am even after the wedding. He listened, was open to anything at all and delivered more than I could have ever dreamed of. Thank you so much On!

    Gorgeous flowers, excellent service!

    My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with the work On Thai and his team did for our October 2019 wedding. During our first meeting with On, I had a vague idea of what I wanted but had trouble articulating exactly what we were hoping for - On looked at my photos, made suggestions, and even mocked up a few test bouquets for visual reference. We met again just before the wedding for any last minute changes, etc. On was great at adapting to any changes like extra bouquets or additions within the arrangements! On is so knowledgeable, so kind, and you can tell he is incredibly passionate about what he does. The entire team over there works as a well oiled machine and just made us feel like we were in the best of hands for the big day. Our flowers were exactly what we were looking for, so beautifully crafted and wrapped up just so - we received loads of compliments from our guests! I would absolutely recommend Surroundings to anyone who is looking for a florist!

    To the team - thank you so much for helping make our wedding vision come true!! We absolutely loved everything you did for us and appreciate your hard work so much!

    Amazing experience

    He was extremely understanding, knowledgeable and worked with us to find exactly what we were looking for. After we met twice he took it completely in his own hands and made the process painless. The wedding was perfect, and the flowers were out of this world more than we ever expected. People are still talking about the ballrooms flowers. I would highly recommend.

    A devoted artist to turn ideas to a beautiful experience

    We are so happy to work with Mr. On Thai at the Surroundings Floral Studio for our September brunch wedding. On is a talented artist with great passion. He has a warm heart and is very genuine. On is humble, and easy to work with. The flowers On prepared for us are fresh, beautiful and long-lasting. The decoration at the venue is elegant and unique. It is amazing how he turned our descriptive ideas to memorable reality.

    In our initial consultation, On helped us understand and refine what we wanted for our occasion. With his knowledge and confidence, we right away knew we were in good hands. When the date approached, we met again to finalize some details. Each time, we received full attention, even though our budget is moderate.

    On loves what he does. He was very excited for his first experience working with our venue. He took his time to visit and examine the site the day before our wedding, and further communicated with us on some details of the setup.

    We had some last minute crisis in securing chairs for ceremony. When we were almost ready to call our local guests to ask them to drag lawn chairs to the celebration, On offered to seek some solution for us, and to our pleasant surprise he did it.

    On showed great support and appreciation to our idea to add Chinese elements to the wedding decoration. He and his team picked up some decorating items from us when they delivered the bouquet and personal flowers in the morning. All pieces were beautifully put together. We received a lot of compliments from our guests on the flowers and special decoration at the venue.

    You need On Thai in your life, pronto!!

    On Thai is seriously THE best at what he does. His arrangements are stunning. He’s such a nice guy. Even after I changed my mind several times about what I wanted, he was still so positive. He’s willing to work hard for you. Check out his Instagram and you’ll see how hard he works for his couples. No other florist compares, in my opinion. My wedding looked so stunning because of On. You need Surroundings for your wedding!!!

    Absolutely amazing!

    On Thai is easily the most creative, hard-working florist there is!! He is extremely personable, is willing to go above and beyond to meet your needs and his finished product never ceases to amaze every single person who has the opportunity to see is work. He was able to transform a large tree into a beautiful work of art with flowers cascading down the tree trunk, paper lanterns hanging from tree branches ... it was truly breathtaking. People are still talking about it!! His vision is priceless. Our centerpieces were also a masterpiece. My bouquet was to die for. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else on my wedding day. He hand delivered all of our bouquets, boutonnières and corsages the morning of my wedding before getting to work! He is so sweet, talented and a true pleasure to work with. You will truly not have to worry about a single thing when working with him, in fact he will exceed your expectations!!

    On, thank you SO much for creating such beautiful designs for us on our wedding day. You provided us our dream wedding and I could never thank you enough for making my wedding day a dream come true!!

    OMG! So Beautiful!

    OMG! On and his team blew my mind with his flower arrangements! Everyone, and I mean everyone at the wedding could not stop talking about how beautiful the flowers were. We told him that we wanted a bright, fun, summer wedding and that is exactly what he delivered! It was absolutely stunning. Even on the hottest day of the year, the flowers never wilted. You would have no idea! Thank you On! Highly Recommend!!

    Flowers looked beautiful.

    On did a wonderful job for our baseball theme wedding. It was a different then/style but On and his team hit this one out of the park for us. The flowers were incredible and he even through in some tulips since those are my favorite flower. Definitely recommend On and Surrounding for any floral arrangements needed

    5 Stars is just not enough

    As a fellow wedding vendor I adore working with On and his team at Surroundings. Right from the very first moment we start the process he is kind, compassionate, reliable, hard-working, determined, and creative. While they are all true artists all on their own I love watching On listen to his couples and help them discover the perfect bloom choices that will create their dream arrangement. 5 stars is not nearly enough to accurately describe the work On and the Surrounding Floral Studio team accomplishes! I am blessed each time I get to work with them.

    On was so lovely to work with! I am very detail-oriented, and knew exactly how I wanted our wedding flowers to look, but wasn't sure I'd find a florist who could make my vision reality. On did just that - he provided the most beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, and arrangements I have ever seen, and our guests were complimenting them the entire day. And the little flower girl's basket was oh-so-adorable! On is such a calm, kind person - perfect for any bride to work with, but especially for a worry-wart like me! Thank you, On, for helping to make our special day so, so beautiful!

    Look no further for a wedding florist. On is not only the absolute nicest person I think I have ever come across, but he is the easiest person to work with. Saying my wedding planning process was smooth because of On is an understatement. He told me to send him all of my Pinterest boards and ideas and with this he was able to help me create my vision for my centerpieces and my bouquets and honestly nothing could have been better, everything was beyond perfect. As my wedding day was approaching in a few months, I met with On to go over things. Upon my arrival, he had an entire display of exactly what my centerpieces would look like. I was so shocked and so happy that I was seeing what my centerpieces were going to look like on my wedding day in person right there and then. It is one thing to talk about a vision, but to create it and see it is an entirely different ballgame- as soon as I saw my centerpieces, my mind was completely eased and I knew i had absolutely nothing to worry about. I had a problem with envisioning what my bridesmaids bouquets would look like. On quickly went in the back of his flower shop and in about 5 minutes came back out with an entire bouquet put together of the exact flowers I was envisioning. WOW- they were beautiful, and I couldn't believe he would do that for me right on the spot! My flowers showed up the day of BEAUTIFUL as ever and right on time. Seriously, I did not stress about my flowers at all & everything was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. On was such a pleasure to work with and he knows exactly what he is doing. On was also VERY respectful to my budget and was able to work with me around that. My friends and family were so impressed by how beautiful and perfect my centerpieces and bouquets were. You would be an absolute fool not to book On as your wedding florist, he is an absolute dream to work with and I promise you you are in good hands. Thank you On for giving me the most perfect and beautiful flowers ever!!

    We worked with On at Surroundings Floral for our November wedding - On was a delight to work with throughout the whole planning process and our flowers were gorgeous! On was super responsive, flexible and easily understood the look we were going for and translated it beautifully for our wedding. On's depth of knowledge and passion for flowers made him a joy to work with - I can't recommend him enough!
