Nadech Kugimiya wedding

The union of Nadech and Yaya represents more than just a celebrity marriage; it is a carefully choreographed blend of private sentiment and high-fashion diplomacy. While the couple previously held a ceremony in the groom’s hometown of Khon Kaen, the Norwegian celebration served as the official seal on their status as husband and wife.

The Emotional Weight of a Childhood Dream

The ceremony on May 22 was designed as an intimate gathering, focusing heavily on familial bonds. According to Sanook, the highlight of the celebration was the speeches delivered by Yaya’s parents, Mae Pla and Por Sigood. The atmosphere turned emotional as Mae Pla spoke about her daughter’s lifelong aspirations for her wedding day. “I want to thank Nadech @kugimiyas, friends, and family for making my daughter’s childhood dream come true. Yaya has said since she was a child that when she grows up, she wants to have a wedding in Norway. She wants her dad to hold her hand and walk down the aisle to the handsome groom. She wants a wedding in a fresh, green garden. Today that dream has come true. Thank you everyone again.” Mae Pla, Mother of Yaya Urassaya This narrative of a “dream come true” was echoed by the bride herself. On May 24, Yaya shared her first post-wedding images on Instagram, confirming that the experience lived up to her expectations. “Quite literally my dream come true. thank you so much @nicolasghesquiere @louisvuitton for my wedding dress still not over the level of detail and care that went into every part of the dress.” Yaya Urassaya, via The Bangkok Insight

Louis Vuitton Couture and the Nicolas Ghesquière Design

As a House Ambassador for Louis Vuitton, Yaya’s attire was not merely a dress but a statement of high craftsmanship. Praew detailed the technical sophistication of the custom gown, which was designed specifically for the occasion by Nicolas Ghesquière. The ensemble combined traditional bridal purity with modern couture elements:

• Fabric and Embroidery: High-level lace embroidery set against pure white tulle.
• Embellishments: Thousands of hand-stitched pearls and small crystals.
• Accessories: A matching pair of intricate gloves and a silk tulle veil with coordinating patterns.
• Jewelry: Earrings from the Louis Vuitton High Jewelry Collection, specifically the Idylle model.
• Beauty: A soft makeup look provided by La Beauté Louis Vuitton.

The choice of a trailing skirt and a soft, romantic silhouette ensured the look remained timeless, fitting the “fairy tale” atmosphere described by attendees and observers.

A Private Affair and the ‘Hangover Cure’ After-Party

Despite the couple’s massive public profile, the Norwegian event was characterized by a strict level of privacy. Manager Online reported that the wedding was kept intentionally low-profile, with the date remaining a secret until after the fact. Most guests refrained from posting live updates, leaving the official narrative to be controlled by the couple’s own social media channels. However, the rigidity of the formal ceremony gave way to a more relaxed atmosphere during the post-wedding celebrations. The couple hosted a luxury boat party featuring natural vistas of the Norwegian landscape, surrounded by a close-knit group of industry friends and family. The festivities extended into the following day, revealing a more human side to the superstar pairing. As reported by Kapook, images surfaced on May 24 showing the newlyweds and their inner circle—including actors Mark Prin and Kimberley—relaxing in a riverside sauna. The group used the sauna session as a lighthearted way to recover from the previous night’s celebrations, with captions jokingly referring to the experience as a hangover cure. This transition from the high-fashion precision of the Louis Vuitton ceremony to the casual camaraderie of a sauna session underscores the dual nature of the event: a global fashion moment and a deeply personal family reunion. By blending the prestige of a global luxury house with the intimacy of a private family gathering in Norway, Nadech and Yaya have successfully navigated the transition from one of Thailand’s most famous couples to a married pair, all while maintaining a carefully managed public image.
