What moves us at
Keely Flatness
My love for design and details and combining the two through intimate experiences has remained a constant throughout my life.
This passion for design, love, and curiosity for the world around me led me to a degree in hospitality, studying in Prague and taking in experiences near and far. After learning the ins and outs of the events space at a specialty rental company and coordinating countless weddings, I couldn't ignore this innate desire to build something to call my own.
Today, the inception of Riviera Creative represents an emergence of design, detail, and art all in one. It serves as my medium. One that brings my insatiable curiosity for connection and out-of-the-box design to create something unimaginable. Working with clients worldwide while leaning into my craft fully is what I've been yearning to do since day one, and it's never felt more aligned and, of course, fun.
So, here we are. I'm honored to welcome you to the Riviera Love Club. A place full of heart, passion, and, most importantly, love for doing what we do best for people with an appreciation for our craft.
I invite you to stick around.
Let’s see what happens next,
Meet The Creator, Keely
Outside of events, experiences, and all things weddings, you can find me with my confidant and husband, Matt. Engaged in October 2021, we spent two years completely entranced in the cerulean blues and contrasting whites of Santorini as we brought our destination wedding to life. When I’m not picking out decor and adding a new piece of thrifted furniture to our home, I’m most at ease on date nights and nights in with our cats, Mufasa and Miso, cooking, and exploring this wild and wonderful world.

My love for design and storytelling started long before I knew it would become my career path. From early days spent shadowing my grandma (the party queen) to years coordinating large-scale events and festivals, I’ve always been drawn to the energy of bringing people together.
After following many different paths in my life, I’ve found where I’m meant to be. I love transforming creative ideas into intentional, meaningful celebrations. I also simply fall in love with humans being in love. I care deeply and feel fully invested in every couple or client I work with to make their day truly the best.
Keely leads with artistry, design and a real love for what she does; I bring the logistics and calm execution that make it all happen. For those looking to elevate their look, my sister company The Glow Edit Rentals offers curated candlelight and tabletop details to complete your story.
Let’s start dreaming up your perfect day xo

While we may be small in size, above and beyond is our thing. Meet the rest of the RC team that plans, designs, manages, and celebrates alongside each and every one of our clients.
The Team
I love exploring this big, beautiful world. I’m always up for travel and new adventures but I also cherish cozy nights at home with my partner and my sweet but very crazy puppy dog. Food is another one of my favorite ways to connect and unwind. I am ALWAYS in the mood for a cinnamon roll. This is technically "inside a studio" but I also teach the cutest tap class for tots and help with the cheer program at my bestie’s dance studio. So you can definitely expect to find me on the dance floor for at least a song or two at your wedding!

I recently flipped through an "Instyle Weddings" coffee table book from the early 2000's and I was hooked! It is so fun to see how wedding trends evolve, change and reappear. Now I am on the hunt for old wedding books and magazines every time I am thrifting or in a vintage shop.

I once heard a nutritionist say to "take your coffee however you want it" and I have lived by that ever since! I'm not picky! Gimme something extra sweet with a seasonal flavor and I'll worry about my sugar intake after I'm caffeinated.
