A WORLD WHERE THE WEIRD ARE WELCOME AND THE PARTIES ARE LIT

First things first, we love flowers. Flowers are life. But we aren’t florists. We are an experiential event design studio who juuuust so happens to use bold, structural florals in a lot of our work. We love and are deeply inspired by classic Dutch Masters design, but we bring it into the modern age with a touch of 90’s nostalgia, loud colors, funky shapes, and the occasional disco ball to boot. 

Our thing is designing start-to-finish events that will have people saying “wow” from the minute they walk through the door until the day you politely ask them to stop bringing up your event because you’re tired of talking about how great it was (if that day ever comes).

Founded by Sky Armstrong

she/her

RLY RLY (the artist known as Skyvanah), was founded in 2014 not long after I graduated with degrees in fine art + graphic design. As most recent grads are, especially when there’s an art degree in play, I felt a little lost. One fateful day, I stumbled into a flower shop and immediately fell in love with the tactile nature and versatility of the floral/event design industry. Fast forward a few years spent traveling the country freelancing for mom + pop floral shops, multi-million dollar event production companies, and everything in between, I eventually ended up where I am today.

I’ve always been obsessed with art history, especially the romantic renaissance/golden age. Throw in a healthy dose of Pride + Prejudice and Greek Mythology, add a dash of 90s spice and 00s glitter, and you have the chaotic creative brain child : RLY RLY studio.

    Jeff is RLY RLY’s first permanent employee. And he has a lifetime contract, because he’s married to the owner. He actually runs his own business, but he never fails to show up for me and the RLY team whenever we need him. In short, he’s pretty cool. I think I’ll let him stick around.
