I’d personally like to convey to Keith Weed, President of the RHS, how excited I am to be involved in the RHS show again this year. Representing Chelsea in Bloom is an honour and a privilege, as it’s such a celebration of flowers during the month of May. As a floral designer, I love to be involved in any way possible, and this opportunity allows Ricky Paul Flowers to showcase our amazing designs to a global audience. Additionally, it generates a significant amount of press coverage, enabling us to grow as a brand year after year…”

Award-winning floral designer Ricky Paul is best known for his incredible installations in hotels, private clubs, and special events in and around London. Over the past few months, Ricky’s team has also been working on the other side of the world to bring their chic and impressive floral style to Asia. They currently have an event scheduled with a top planner from Singapore and are also focused on building relationships with planners located on the larger islands, including Koh Samui and Phuket. The Asia team is set to work on weddings for the 2026/27 high season, where two members of the team are managing Ricky Paul Asia and overseeing all weddings and events.
At the Table Design Exhibition, all the designs were inspired by artists, so we decided to base our design on the remarkable work of Yayoi Kusama, the Japanese artist renowned for her use of dots. We brought our oversized florals to life, covering them in hundreds of dots and incorporating luxurious, vibrant red, pink, and white flowers with pops of black and purple. The selection of flowers included white hydrangeas, roses, delphiniums, anthuriums, amaranthus, and anemones…”

Recently Ricky was thrilled to win an award at Table Design Exhibition that was staged at The Savoy Hotel during the RSVP Symposium weekend. This was the first time it had been put on in the UK, a very large event showcasing the best designers around the globe, staged annually in Istanbul. Below are his thoughts and plans for this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Chelsea in Bloom…
This year’s theme for Chelsea is ‘Out of This World,’ so our designs will be very creative and ambitious, representing the beauty that comes from beyond this world! We’ll also be designing stunning displays, including celestial designs and mystical Brazilian floral arrangements. Additionally, we will create a huge floral fire-breathing dragon…”

At Chelsea, we’ll once again be collaborating with Trinny London, Granado, and Nokwol, in addition to creating two large installations on King’s Road and Sloane Street, along with an installation at the RHS Flower Show to represent Chelsea in Bloom. We’ve always been recognised in the industry for our creative and engaging installations; we focus on flowers as a form of creative art and often work with other mediums to bring our ideas to life. Our designs are unmistakably characteristic of Ricky Paul Flowers, and this has established us as the go-to floral design company for bespoke installations and innovative wedding and event design…”

My goal has always been to do things my way. I like to infuse my personality into my work, and both my team and I are excited to engage in a variety of events over the next few months and years. The objective is always to achieve success while also maintaining diversity in our commissions. As we build a design team in Asia and continue our work in London and Europe, we are gradually witnessing the expansion of our business and strengthening our relationships with planners across the globe. Additionally, I want to enjoy what I do and collaborate with the best team. I consider myself very fortunate to have such an exceptional team that shares the same vision, and we are all looking forward to the future…”
