At A Simple Affair, we believe your wedding should be a reflection of your journey—not a carbon-copy of a Pinterest board. When Davilyn and Julio first walked into our space, they didn't just see an industrial-chic venue; they saw a blank canvas where they could tell their story.
From their early days as UNLV freshmen on the intramural volleyball court to a cozy proposal in a childhood home, Davilyn and Julio’s love is rooted in authenticity. Their wedding day was no different: a beautiful blend of sentimental, elegant, and meaningful details.
The Vision: Personal, Unique, and "Very Us"
While many couples feel pressured to stick to traditional wedding norms, Davilyn and Julio knew exactly what they wanted. Their goal? To honor their individual lives and the life they’ve built together through unique decor and a custom menu.
"We chose A Simple Affair because we wanted to include a lot of very unique touches... we wanted to be able to tell a story with the decoration and the food that honored our love story."
The Palette: Timeless Elegance
The couple opted for a classic and crisp color palette of white and green with gold accents. This choice perfectly complemented our venue’s versatile aesthetic, allowing their DIY floral arrangements and personal heirlooms to truly shine.
A Menu That Tells a Story
If there was one "non-negotiable" for this couple, it was the food. Passionate about self-expression through cooking, Davilyn and Julio bypassed the standard "chicken or fish" options for a Hawaiian-inspired feast.
By combining homemade dishes with favorites from local staples like Poke Express and L&L Catering, they created a dream "mixed plate" menu that was a massive hit with their guests. It wasn't just a meal; it was a tribute to what they love to eat and share as a couple.
Sentimental Touches & Traditions
The reception was filled with "nod to the past" details that brought tears to many eyes:
The Cake Topper: The couple used the same porcelain Lladro figurine that Davilyn’s parents used at their own wedding.
DIY Florals: Using bulk stems from Las Vegas Floral Plant & Wholesale, the couple hand-styled their own bud vases and arrangements.
Memorable Moments: Davilyn cherished the quiet moments spent with Julio just before their grand entrance—a "calm before the storm" that allowed them to soak in the bliss of the day.
Pro-Tip for Vegas Locals
As Las Vegas residents, Davilyn and Julio have some sage advice for couples currently scouting venues:
"Don’t be afraid to venture out of the touristic areas... there are truly fabulous options to execute whatever your vision for your day is, especially for us Vegas locals!"
