Our floral design
Our flowers are designed in-house by Supparin — known professionally as Toom — so the floral language of every ceremony is set by the same hand that plans the day.
By Paul & SupparinPaul & Supparin
Toom — the in-house floral designer
Supparin runs our Thai operation and leads its floral design. The professional name Toom belongs to the florist side of her work, and most couples who arrive with us meet the two roles at once: Supparin as the coordinator who walks them through the planning, Toom as the designer who proposes the flowers for the day.
Because the design and the coordination share one person, the flowers are not a separate quote from a separate supplier. They are part of the same conversation as the beach, the celebrant, the photographer and the ceremonial schedule.
What floral design covers
The planners designs flowers for every ceremony shape we plan — beach weddings, beach elopements, vow renewals, Buddhist blessings and villa weddings. The work spans the bridal bouquet and boutonnière, the ceremony arch and aisle styling, the signing table, the monk offering trays for a Thai blessing, and any larger reception florals a venue calls for.
Couples who want a fuller floral programme — large installations, dinner table florals, ceremony backdrops beyond the standard arch — are quoted separately so the base ceremony price stays honest, and the design is proposed once the beach, time of day and venue are confirmed.
How the design conversation works
Floral design begins after the ceremony shape is settled — not before. The right palette depends on the season, the beach or villa, the time of day, and the kind of photography the couple is hoping for. Supparin proposes a direction, and adjusts it once. Tropical flowers from the local market lead the design; imported stems are used sparingly where a specific colour requires them.
Fresh flowers are our standard. We will tell you honestly when artificial elements are a better choice for a particular setup — usually only on very exposed beaches in the hottest months — and never use them by default.
Where the flowers appearStill forming the question
Talk to Paul & Supparin first.
If a date, a ceremony shape, a venue or the paperwork is not yet clear, please start with a conversation rather than a formal brief. Paul and Supparin reply personally, in plain language, and will tell you what we honestly think before anything else.
Before you enquire
What planning a wedding with us actually looks like.
A wedding on Phuket is a small number of decisions made carefully, not a long checklist completed in a hurry. This page is our quiet brief on how we work with couples — so you can decide whether the rhythm suits you before any commitment is asked of either side.
What happens after you write
02
Paul or Supparin reply within a working day
Usually within one Phuket working day. The reply is a considered note, not a brochure — what is achievable on your date, where it should sit on the island, and the two or three concrete next steps.
03
We hold a call when it helps
Many couples prefer a short video call before committing. It is the fastest way to test whether we are the right fit, and to talk through venue, season and the practical brief.
04
A written quote, line by line
When the brief is clear we issue a written quote — every supplier named, every line itemised, every assumption stated. You can change any line before you sign.
How Paul & Supparin work
Two planners, every wedding.
Paul leads the planning conversation, writes the quote, officiates the ceremony, and is the on-the-day point of contact for the couple. Supparin (Toom) leads the in-house floral and styling work, runs the installation, and is the on-the-day point of contact for the venue and the suppliers.
Communication is by email and short calls — calm, responsive, and in English. We do not work to a sales script and we will not pressure a date. Couples who choose to plan with us almost always do so after a considered conversation, not on a first reply.
Planning here is unhurried by design. The wedding is one day; the months before it are a relationship.
Planning from overseas
A planning team used to planning across time zones.
Most couples we plan with live in another country and arrive in Phuket close to the wedding date. Fifteen years of doing this means the rhythm is unhurried for you — we site-visit on your behalf, share photographs and short films, hold calls at sensible hours, and carry the local logistics so you do not have to.
Where a site visit is possible, it is welcome but never required. Couples who arrive only a few days before the wedding are met, briefed in person, and walked through the day before we run it.
Asked often, answered briefly
When should we start planning?
Twelve months is comfortable for a villa or resort wedding. Six months is enough for an elopement or a beach ceremony. Shorter is sometimes possible — please ask before assuming it is not.
Do you only plan large weddings?
No. Elopements and small beach ceremonies are a meaningful part of what we do. The two of you on a quiet beach is taken as seriously as eighty guests at a villa.
Will Paul or Supparin be there on the day?
Yes. Paul officiates the ceremonies, Supparin leads the floral and styling install, and one of them is the on-the-day point of contact. The wedding is not handed off.
Are we tied to specific venues or suppliers?
No. We recommend venues and suppliers we know personally and will tell you honestly where they suit you and where they do not. If you arrive with a venue in mind, we will plan around it.
