Free-spirited, colorful, fun, and bursting with personality—Jess and Libby’s <\/span>Bread Bar<\/span><\/a> wedding was the perfect combination of classy and funky. The couple along–with their planner <\/span>Kendra Kimball<\/span><\/a>–made sure to tie in their love for family, travel, music, and food into their big day to create an experience where everyone felt special. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ceremony was held at the quaint little white church in the historic mountain town of Silver Plume. Libby looked effortlessly cool in her <\/span>short wedding dress<\/span><\/a> paired with white Converse while Jess rocked a <\/span>navy blue suit<\/span><\/a>. The couple <\/span>exchanged their vows<\/span><\/a> as their adorable rescue dog Millie looked on. And in a touching tribute to their grandmothers, flowers and books were placed on their vacant seats to honor their memory. <\/span><\/p>\n

The reception followed at the iconic <\/span>Bread Bar<\/span><\/a>, an 1800s-era bakery built at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Using colorful <\/span>florals<\/span><\/a> and hanging greenery created by floral designer <\/span>Emma Van Vranken<\/span><\/a>, they blended the concept of a hidden, overgrown courtyard with the vintage charm of the bar. Window decals, mismatched <\/span>lounge seating<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>neon signs<\/span><\/a>, a canopy of <\/span>string lights<\/span><\/a>, and lampshades added an eclectic touch to the entire setting. <\/span><\/p>\n

From the cocktails named after late loved ones and the picture wall with a photo of every single guest to the Shih Tzu wedding cake and the tapas-style wedding menu inspired by their travels to Spain, no important detail was forgotten. Scroll through these amazing images captured by <\/span>Bridget Burnett<\/span><\/a> to see the many beautiful ways this couple chose to showcase their love for each other and their family on their big day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their Big Day Authentically Reflects Them<\/span><\/h2>\n

We are so proud of how the day was authentically us. We stayed true to ourselves when <\/span>planning<\/span><\/a>—bright colors, unique food, aura reader, and banging <\/span>music<\/span><\/a> are our vibe. And doing our thing no matter how it was perceived made it more special for our guests and us.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Wedding Planning Advice From The Newlyweds<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our advice is <\/span>don’t take it too seriously<\/span><\/a> and be yourselves. A few months before our wedding, I was in a bike accident and tore several ligaments in my knee and broke my femur. <\/span>Bridgett Burnett<\/span><\/a>, our photographer, did an amazing job making it look like I was much more agile than I was. I had this idea of doing this crazy exercise and diet to get in mad shape for the wedding and wear Manolo Blahniks that day. That clearly didn’t happen, but I had a hell of a lot more fun <\/span>planning<\/span><\/a> and experiencing the day by not having that pressure of looking “perfect” for the day. Also, get a <\/span>wedding planner<\/span><\/a> and trust them. It saves money long-term, lowers stress, and makes your ideas a reality. <\/span>Kendra Kimball<\/span><\/a> was amazing and helped us find Bridget and all our other <\/span>vendors<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The Most Memorable Moments<\/span><\/h2>\n

My closest friends sang our favorite songs at the <\/span>ceremony<\/span><\/a>. It was overwhelming to share my friend’s talents with our community. For Jess, it was an intimate dinner with our friends and community. After isolating with <\/span>COVID<\/span><\/a>, it was so meaningful.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Personal Touches Throughout Their Bread Bar Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

We served cocktails named after late family members with their caricatures on the menu. Our favorite <\/span>songs<\/span><\/a> were sung by best friends. We wrote a letter to our guests thanking them. We created a picture wall that highlighted a picture of us with every guest from a special moment in our life. Our <\/span>wedding cake<\/span><\/a> was a replica of our Shih Tzu, Millie.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

A Very Special DIY Picture Wall With Their Loved Ones<\/span><\/h2>\n

We blew up pictures of different sizes of guests with us over our lifetime. We used vintage frames and created a picture wall that was the backdrop for our reception. My grandmother had a similar wall in her home and was the inspiration.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The Couple Had a Special Spanish Themed Wedding Menu<\/span><\/h2>\n

Spain is our favorite place in the world, and we went on a road trip through Spain a few years ago. Those travels inspired our menu. We had 4-5 small tapas plates and then a larger plate. We also had churros and a dessert bar. Late night snacks included tacos in a bag, our favorite meal when camping.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
