LOOK: Monika Sta. Maria Looked Every Bit Like a Goddess at Her Island Wedding in Phuket, Thailand
Monika, known for her nature-loving and free-spirited energy, fully embraced the island atmosphere with her ruched wrap-around dress that features a sultry midriff cutout designed by bridal studio COLENA. Her pearl-embellished headpiece, with matching hand and foot chains to boot, was the perfect final touch to complete her ethereal bridal look.
Meanwhile, Monika kept her makeup at a minimum, allowing her natural beauty and signature freckles to shine, adding even more allure to her effortlessly bohemian and tropical-inspired ensemble.
Her entire look captured the essence of a free-spirited island goddess, creating a truly unforgettable and enchanting presence on her special day.
The pair got engaged in March of 2022 after being together for two years.
Congratulations to the newlyweds!
