we met as coworkers, amidst the wonderful gorgeous chaos that was the launch of terrain – a beloved home and garden brand hatched by urban outfitters. the friendship that began there grew to be a trusted design collaboration. working together on a floral design series and numerous events, our eyes were opened to the need for an open-minded, multi-faceted styling firm to address thoughtful design in a variety of arenas. with the support of good friends, we took a leap of faith and conceptualized a company that caters to a client seeking design that is innovative, details that are handcrafted, and beauty that is inspired primarily by nature. we are thankful for the opportunity to work together as friends, and to work doing the things we love.

Matt and Melissa. Thank you both for being amazing and so cool. I am still getting compliments on how beautiful everything was. Matts mom was like, "thank goodness you didn't listen to us about anything because it was so beautiful." You put so much time and thought into every detail and it did not go unnoticed. I might be emailing you everyday and saying thank you because you guys rock and I am so grateful for having worked with both of you and you made my day amazing. I had no clue what I wanted, and somehow, as if we were in Harry potter and you had magic wands, you pulled all my little visions that I was thinking of out of my head and transformed it into my vision of a perfect wedding. I know, Harry potter. But seriously, thank you for everything, from fixing my dress to getting me food and drinks. Matt loved you guys and he was so happy on our day, thanks for making it special for him as well. Please let us know if we can do anything for you. I think we all need to get drinks sometime soon!! Let me know if your ever out this way. Please keep in touch!

Hi Matt and Melissa, We’ve recovered, and Kate and Ethan are home from their honeymoon. Thank you again for the stunning job that you did – we’ve received so many comments about the lovely décor – how it really added to the personal feel of the wedding. I appreciate your attention to detail -- to make everything so special. I know that Kate and Ethan felt that you really listened to them, and interpreted their vision faithfully, while providing creative suggestions. It was very nice working with you – I will definitely recommend you to friends and family for upcoming events! Kind regards,

at ryan jane co., each of our clients and projects are unique and special. we are a full service styling company, offering design services that range from florals to lighting, print collateral, general décor, logistics and much more. due to this broad scope, we prefer to handle a project from start to finish to ensure a cohesive vision and experience.

we are not a neighborhood florist, nor a purveyor of cookie-cutter anything . we believe in organic floral design, and love to re-imagine colour, texture and form with each bouquet we make. whenever possible, we source our materials locally and choose them by hand. we love details, and will happily hunt antique shops and flea markets for the perfect finishing touches.

because of the individuality of each client we take on, we do not have set packages or fixed pricing structures. we address the needs of each new project and will happily develop a quote based on your specific wants. pricing takes into account a number of variables, including location, seasonality of product used, event size, design detail, installation time, etc.
