I have attended more than my fair share of weddings and events, and I’ve seen some incredible destination weddings— like my best friend Ashley who recently tied the knot in an ancient Mayan ruin in Guatemala, for example. Even so, the special attention paid to every last detail for Christian & Kat’s wedding made this one of my fav weddings of 2018. You guys really made your wedding into a DREAM COME TRUE.
So for those who are wondering, here’s why I’m still not over Christian and Kat’s wedding in Bali.
1. The Bali-Wood inspired welcome dinner was an unforgettable experience.

From the vibrant pops of color to the delicious buffet spread and private “night market” that was set up for guests, this party was hopping. I may have had an impromptu flower fight at the end of the party with some of Kat’s entourage. The theme brought out the “fun” in everyone!
2. The wedding was intimate, and you truly got to enjoy everyone’s company.

The 60-70ish guests that spent the long weekend in Bali for the wedding festivities was just the perfect size. From all over the world, those who matter most to Christian and Kat were there for the celebration. You also realized how small the world is as you find common connections and people with whom you share mutual friends.
3. Kat was glowing, shining and shimmering.

Not only did Kat’s Bali-Wood inspired outfit win Best-Dressed (in my mind) that night. She was stunningly angelic on her wedding day as she said her vows with the Balinese sunset bowing to the ocean. Kat even surprised Christian with a Ukelele song and gave us all a good cry with her sweetness and vulnerability. I also found out that she loves spreadsheets (I do also but I try to keep that on the down low).
4. Christian Bautista was the epitome of dapper in a green Francis Libiran tuxedo.

We know this guy has broken a lot of hearts now that he’s said “I do,” so it goes without saying that he rocked the green Francis Libiran tux like a pro. I asked him how many times wedding guests have asked him if he was going to sing (seemed like it would be the most popular question), and boy did he sing! I’m always up for a private Christian Bautista concert. Diba?
5. Naked Patisserie was a part of the experience.

I’m so honored and humbled that the Naked Patisserie team was invited to this entire wedding experience. Kat wanted a rustic donut cake (because donuts are her jam) and that’s exactly what we created for her! 27 sticks of butter and 6 rosemary plants went into the making of the cake. After a couple of tequila shots some of the guests flung to the cake for seconds and thirds! I mean, it’s a party, after all. I’m humbled by your trust for Naked Patisserie , Christian and Kat, and most of all— I’m thrilled that you’ve committed the rest of your lives to one another. God bless!
