You want to use preg_match_all, not preg_split:

$String = 'Medaillons, Listels, "custom stuff", "more things", entryway, 
accents, showplace';
$MyRegEx = '/"[^"]+"|[^"\s,]+/';
preg_match_all($MyRegEx, $String, $Tokens);
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($Tokens);

produces:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(7) {
    [0]=>
    string(10) "Medaillons"
    [1]=>
    string(7) "Listels"
    [2]=>
    string(14) ""custom stuff""
    [3]=>
    string(13) ""more things""
    [4]=>
    string(8) "entryway"
    [5]=>
    string(7) "accents"
    [6]=>
    string(9) "showplace"
  }
}
