You'll Change Up Your Big-Day Plans After Seeing This Stunning Mexico Wedding

Despite the fact that Nicholas proposed to Carrie during the holiday season, the two decided to have a sunny destination wedding on the shores of Mexico — the exact opposite of what their wedding would have been like were they to celebrate in their native Michigan town. Everything about their big day at the Grand Velas Resort was elegant with a laid-back, coastal feel. The two said their vows right on the shore, close family and friends nearby to cheer them on. While the bride and groom looked stunning as they made their commitments, somebody else stole the show. Nicholas and Carrie's adorable daughter, Ava, waited in Dad's arms as Mommy walked down the aisle and was alongside them as the two stood hand in hand and had their first kiss. To make the entire moment even more heartwarming, Ava was decked out in a little white dress that matched her mom's own couture wedding gown!

The couple let their sprawling and luxurious venue speak for itself and kept the rest of their navy blue and gold wedding details simple and refined. Keep reading to see all the pretty details! Carrie's tasteful, prewedding boudoir photos are especially inspiring for any of you soon-to-be-brides out there who are unsure of the idea!
