A Cool-Girl California Malibu Wedding

Featured on Wedding Sparrow

The most effortless kind of luxury often feels unplanned—yet perfectly styled. Emma and Miles’ Malibu celebration captured exactly that: a breezy, elopement-style wedding that blended California ease with fashion-forward detail.

Planned and designed by Smith and James Events with fashion styling by Gabrielle Hurwitz, the day was as chic as it was intimate. From the coastal backdrop of The Surfrider Malibu to elevated florals by Pigsty, every element reflected a cool, understated glamour.

With beauty by Page Beauty, a gown from EF Bridal, and veil by Daphne Newman Design, Emma’s look set the tone: refined, effortless, and timeless. Guests gathered around thoughtfully styled details—paper goods by Amber Moon, rentals from The Ark, linens by La Tavola—while live moments were captured on film by Anna Lord.

It was the epitome of laidback luxury: intimate, stylish, and unforgettable—proof that California cool will always be in a league of its own.
