A Springtime Malibu Wedding At Calamigos Ranch

A Lilac Infused Malibu Wedding Inspired By Spring

Even though we are all eagerly waiting to gather again, I wanted to continue sharing some beautiful wedding inspiration here.  I’m happy to share this Malibu wedding at one of our all time favorites, Calamigos Ranch. I was so excited to be back in this venue because it is truly a gem. You feel tucked away from the bustle of LA and there are so many different locations you can get married, each with their own unique style. For their Malibu wedding, Cait + Pat chose the famous Redwood Room (you may recognize it from an episode of “Modern Family”). For some other Redwood Room weddings we’ve planned, check out this blog post and this blog post

This wedding was so soft + romantic, it felt like a sunny spring day. While I love a wedding that bursts with color, there is something so classic about a centric color.  Cait + Pat chose a light lilac color palate that we grounded with white flowers and natural greenery everywhere. To add elegance and elevate details, we used gold elements like gold-framed table numbers and a gold cake stand and upgraded to velvet linens. The entire day couldn’t have been more beautiful and thoughtful. 

Congrats Cait + Pat on your wedding! If you’re ready to start planning your big day, contact me on my homepage here and let’s get started!

Hi, I'm Kari.
Wedding Planner, Podcaster, & Creative Entrepreneur.

The founder and lead planner behind Feathered Arrow Studio. Over the past 11 years, I’ve designed and executed more than 175 weddings throughout Southern California, helping couples create celebrations that feel deeply personal and beautiful.

My approach blends thoughtful design with genuine hospitality. I care deeply about how a wedding feels not just how it looks. I want every detail to be intentional and every guest to feel taken care of. Together we take your inspiration, your story, and your priorities and turn them into a celebration that feels effortless, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.

Not every couple needs full-service planning, which is why I also offer wedding consults and planning guides for those navigating the process on their own. I’m also the co-host of Just Another Biz Podcast, where we have honest conversations about the wedding industry with fellow creatives behind the scenes.
