A Black-Tie Wedding In The Hills of Malibu

Friends, if you thought Niki + Amir’s engagement photos were jaw dropping, just wait until you see their black-tie wedding! Their wedding was full of ultra-glamorous details that will make you want to pin their entire album. 

To remain true to a classic event we kept the color palette simple with black, white with gold. I love colorful weddings but there is something deeply impactful about this color scheme. (For more B&W inspiration check out this wedding). Niki’s bridesmaids wore mix matched gold dresses while the groomsmen all sported black suits. Amir wore a fashionable white suit with black bow tie which is so chic! 

Keeping true to their Persian roots was extremely important to Niki + Amir. Their ceremony was inspired by a sofreh aghd, where they sat at a table adorned with a mirror, candlesticks and other elements that signify this new chapter in life together. Niki + Amir also participated in a honey ceremony where they fed honey to one another to symbolize the sweetness in their lives. As a wedding planner, nothing makes me happier than seeing my clients have their dream weddings + I love learning about the different ceremonial traditions of so many cultures. 

Congratulations Niki + Amir on your beautiful wedding day! If you’re ready to start planning your next chapter, contact me on my homepage here and let’s chat!

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.
