Thirty-five years of making each vision real

Owner and lead designer On Thai founded Surroundings in 1991. Together with designer Steve Dominiak, he leads a team known for flexibility — creating exactly what each couple and client envisions, at every budget.

On’s work has dressed the National Museum of Racing and National Museum of Dance Hall of Fame galas, won Teleflora’s People’s Choice Award, and taken him to garden club stages from Boston to Seattle to the United Kingdom.

For more than three decades our visionary team of designers and craftspeople has brought creative concepts, the right resources and meticulous attention to detail to weddings across the region — always within your budget.

Meet On Thai

On has owned and led Surroundings since he founded it in 1991. Clients describe his work as artistry — and his manner as kind, patient and genuinely excited about their day.

An active competitor, On has won numerous awards, including Teleflora’s People’s Choice Award, along with honors from Capital District garden and flower shows. Each year he takes part in New York in Bloom, a fundraiser supporting inner-city youth.

He has designed the floral décor for the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame ball and the National Museum of Dance gala during Saratoga’s racing season, as well as private parties for the area’s social scene.

Our design team

On and Steve Dominiak lead the design staff, bringing many years of experience and a shared commitment to excellent service.

Our entire team has won awards in local and regional design competitions — and we bring that same care to a single birthday bouquet as we do to a three-hundred-guest gala. We look forward to transforming your vision into reality and earning a place on our ever-growing list of clients who trust us to surpass their expectations.
