This Soft Gold Malibu Wedding Glimmers In The Sun!

We are back at Calamigos Ranch for another beautiful wedding! (If you missed last week, check out this Oak Room wedding). This time, Carolyn + Adam kept things simple and classic with white floral arrangements filled in with lush greenery. (I love this floral look so much that I used it in my own wedding!) Additionally, soft gold touches were sprinkled throughout the decor. Between the bridesmaid dresses, tableware, cake, and signage, I love how gold adds an extra shimmer to their whole day! 

Adding A Golden Touch

Including a metallic color to your wedding is a nice way to add weight to your color palette. It can serve as a great base and help ground your color scheme. If you ask me, both silver and gold will always be in style. Blush gold and copper are also popular choices, but if you’re looking for a timeless classic look, opt for gold or silver tones. For more inspiration on how to add gold in your wedding décor, check out this vineyard wedding, and this wedding where the bride wore a gold dress

Congrats Carolyn + Adam on your beautiful wedding day! If you’re also interested in getting married at Calamigos Ranch, contact me on my homepage here + let’s start planning!

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.
