When you know, you know—and for Dela and Jacob, an introduction through mutual friends started a journey that quickly spanned the globe. From an unforgettable midnight proposal during a family dinner in Paris, France, to planning an intimate celebration back home, their love story has always centered around deep connection, family, and thoughtful surprises.
When choosing where to say "I do," the couple fell in love with A Simple Affair. Our Las Vegas event venue offered the perfect canvas for their vision: a seamless blend of simple, rustic charm and timeless elegance that allowed their personal touches to shine without feeling overwhelming.
A Vision in Juniper, Black, and White
Dela and Jacob curated a warm, welcoming environment using a refined color palette of juniper green, classic black, and crisp white.
Instead of getting bogged down by traditional wedding rituals, they opted for meaningful, handcrafted elements supported by their incredible circle of family and friends:
Custom DIY Touches: Jacob personally built the seating board, creating a heartfelt piece to welcome guests as they arrived.
Friend & Family Contributions: A beloved family member served as their officiant while also designing the beautiful floral arrangements. Dela’s friend Marissa handled bridal makeup, while close friends Liz and Esmeralda created the wedding cake and custom cookies.
Refined Aesthetics: Crisp linens, lush evergreen foliage, and delicate floral accents filled the space, capturing that effortless rustic-chic vibe.
The Highlight of the Night: A Surprise Live Painting
While the entire evening was filled with laughter and support, the absolute highlight of Dela's night came during the reception: Jacob surprised her with a live wedding painter.
Watching their new chapter painted onto canvas in real time wasn't just a stunning artistic addition—it became an unforgettable memory and a permanent keepsake of the moment they officially started their lives together surrounded by everyone they care about.
Tacos, Sweet Treats & Non-Stop Dancing
A great wedding reception comes down to good food, good dessert, and great music. Dela and Jacob’s celebration delivered on all three:
Catering: @abuelastacos served up an amazing menu, working closely with the couple to accommodate custom dietary requests for their guests.
DJ & Music: DJ Jhanique from @jafeelentertainment kept the dance floor packed and the energy high all night long.
Photography: Every smile, tear, and dance move was captured by @zoltan_wedding_photography.
Words of Wisdom for Future Couples
Looking back on their wedding planning experience, Dela shared some reassuring advice for future brides and grooms:
"Stress is going to be there, but remember the end goal. What is to come is completely worth it!"
