A Bright + Vibrant Wedding at the 1909

A Bright, Vibrant Wedding In A Hidden Forest Venue

I’m so excited to share this bright + vibrant wedding at the 1909! I really love the space this venue provides. It feels like a completely different world outside of the city, but still has the convenience of LA just a short drive away. We’ve been fortunate enough to work a few weddings here including this sophisticated wedding, this micro wedding (pre-Covid even), and this romantic wedding. I knew that my clients, Courtney + Ilan would have an amazing event here!

Color In Bloom

Unlike some of the other weddings at the 1909 that leaned on softer, neutral tones, Courtney + Ilan didn’t shy away from vibrant tones throughout. The florals included bright reds and peaches that brought focus to all the right places. The bridesmaids wore coordinating pink dresses while the groomsmen wore bright blue suits with soft peach ties. (You might recognize one of the groomsmen, Cesar, from his wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn). Guests were gifted beautiful leather luggage tags that reminded me of how far we’ve come the past two years, and how amazing it is that we can all gather together once more.

Huge congrats to Courtney + Ilan! If you’re ready interested in hiring us for your very own wedding, contact me on my homepage here + 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.
