Melissa and Nick Get Married: Real Family Wedding in Mexico
High school sweethearts Melissa and Nick brought their families together for a celebration of love at their Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen wedding. A traditional Catholic ceremony with the blessings of all who love them followed by an unforgettable party at poolside, we are so grateful to Melissa and Nick for allowing us to host this truly moving real family wedding in Mexico. Let’s have a look and get inspired!
Getting ready and the “First Look”: Intimate wedding moments at Villa la Joya with Melissa and Nick
Some of the most important moments of a wedding day happen when you least realize it, the straightening of a tie or the adjustment of the veil. Getting ready with the bridal party is a wonderful time to celebrate the love of family and friends and this amor shone through with bride and groom Melissa and Nick.
Bride Melissa was absolutely stunning with her natural dark looks and hair and makeup by Hello Beauty MX. We LOVED her bridal gown, perfect for a beach wedding, the diamondback style was a knockout. The moment with her son under the veil was totally priceless. Groom Nick was looking a little nervous before the “First Look” moment, adjusting his tuxedo before his bride came and took his breath away. We love these moments.
Traditional religious ceremony destination wedding and real blessings of love
The traditional ceremony of Melissa and Nick was just gorgeous, Padre Jose V Arruda officiated and invited all in attendance to share their blessings upon the couple. Attended by bridesmaids in elegant champagne gowns and groomsmen in formal tuxedos, Melissa and Nick declared their love and united their families forever.
The portrait session after the ceremony was such a delight, so many genuine smiles and a whole lot of laughter around the grounds of Villa la Joya. The flowers by Cherry Blossom were abundant and beautiful, fresh white blooms and tropical sprays, divine! The family shots of Melissa Nick and their precious son are simply magical.
It’s not a Mexican wedding without mariachis and tequila! Celebration time at this Villa la Joya reception
Mariachis are a must for a grand Mexican celebration of love, with a table set up with shots of tequila it’s the best way to kick off a Mexico wedding reception. The tables were set with more beautiful flowers from Cherry Blossom and the cake by La Migaja was a stunning masterpiece. Melissa and Nick sure know how to throw a party!
We LOVED the ideas for a family-friendly destination wedding, with a kids’ table just their size with special activities and a tent for “resting”, the kids were VIP guests for sure.
We send mucho amor and much gratitude to Melissa and Nick and their guests, we had a wonderful time hosting your real Mexico wedding at Villa la Joya! We wish you all the best for a magnificent lifetime together as a happy family!
