Rustic Elegant Styled Wedding Shoot

The beginning

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Feathered Arrow Events! I’m excited to start this new adventure of doing what I love most: planning events that are significant moments. I want to help create amazing memories and work with amazing people. For the past year, I have been working with the wonderful event planner, Stacey, from Stacey Lynn Design. We worked with a lot of amazing clients and planned some of the most beautiful weddings. Events ranged from Old Hollywood theme, to classic, edgy, and untraditional, etc. In fact, the wide variety of styles inspired me to design a styled shoot mixing rustic elegant styles.

Combining Rustic Elegant

The theme for this styled shoot was rustic elegant and it turned out beautifully. Working with so many wonderful vendors and details was such a fun day. To begin, we choose Triunfo Creek Vineyards, an outdoor venue in Malibu. It has that rustic vineyard feel but could still be elevated in design. Then we incorporated the elegance through calligraphy, florals, accessories, and small decor elements. I just love how it all turned out! I choose a peach and navy color scheme with ivory and hints of gold throughout. Thank you to everyone for coming on board to bring this vision to life. Additionally, of course, just being stellar vendors to work with. Enjoy!

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.
