Simply Lavish Real Wedding: Malinda & Nevada @Events at Newton Square

Malinda and Nevada were married this past June in Raleigh, NC at the

Events at Newton Square. When this couple came to me they were only sure about two things for their vision. The bride said, “I just want my wedding to be purple (she is obsessed with the color I must say) & the groom says “Give Malinda what ever she wants as long as it stays within budget.” I knew then we were in for a fun ride.

After our initial consultation my main takeaway was that this couple was a bit non-traditional. They wanted a unique venue but one where their ceremony and reception can both be held and yes keep them within budget. I knew the perfect place (but would they love it?)

A venue tour was scheduled for them and they immediately fell in love, but what was there not to love; flexible space, outside catering option (allowed staying within budget easier), rich hard wood floors, outdoor patio area (to be utilized during cocktail hour), 62 ft horseshoe bar as the centerpiece of the room, and mahogany chiavari chairs.

In the photos below, you will see the emotions flow as their wedding day was one of the best days of their life. You will see how we pulled off their overall vision of modern elegance with a hint of bling. Nevada’s children played a part in the wedding too as the flower girls and Jr. Groomsman.

Thank you Malinda & Nevada for allowing Simply Lavish to help plan this gorgeous wedding!
