"Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity." -Charles Mingus

Kat is all about simplicity -- no froufrou, no fuss. She hardly even wears makeup. So for wedding day, she told me straight that she wanted to look like herself and not have as much makeup as possible. Even for her hair, she wanted it in a waterfall braid and very laid back. As a result, she looked simply beautiful.

Since she didn't want to complicate her life, she and her then fiancé Francis chose Sonya's Garden for the reason that there is absolutely no need to style the place.
"We loved our reception venue, Sonya's Garden. we didn't have to
do much in terms of decoration since it's exactly what we like but we did make
sure na meron meryenda. Ayaw kasi namin yun nakatayo kang naghihintay tapos
gutom ka pa kaya pinabuksan namin ng maaga yun venue para pwede agad pumasok at
umupo yun guests sa tables nils. They can already order whatever drinks
they want and we setup a snack bar with Sonya's famous hispinis bread, cheese
hopia and cupcakes :)" -Kat & Francis
For the toast, they drank coke instead of champagne in line with their ideals of keeping things real and simple.
Instead of intricately arranged flowers as ceremony decor and reception centerpieces, they chose potted plants like herbs and cactus intended for guests to take home with them.
Kat also didn't want to complicate the wedding with superstitions.
Kat: This is a picture of us hanging out for a little bit
at the hotel lobby before we left to go to the church. At least hindi kami
praning sa oras tyaka dun sa "bawal magkita" na rule... hehe!
Here's more from Kat and how they simplified their big day:
