Myranda & Derek
When it comes to stunning Colorado wedding venues, few offer the natural beauty and rich musical history of a Planet Bluegrass wedding. Myranda and Derek’s celebration brought all the best of this legendary 20-acre ranch to life — blending elegance and fun in a way that felt unmistakably them. Located just 25 minutes from Boulder, Planet Bluegrass is known for hosting some of the most iconic music festivals in the region for over 30 years, and it made the perfect backdrop for a wedding that was heartfelt, elevated, and unforgettable.
With large wedding parties on both sides, there was no shortage of love and laughter to go around. Myranda and Derek struck the perfect balance between fancy and fun, creating a day that felt effortlessly elevated while still completely personal. The couple's style was modern and colorful, but never overdone — just the right amount of flair for a summer Planet Bluegrass wedding.
One of my favorite details from this Planet Bluegrass wedding was the way Myranda and Derek made the venue their own. The riverside ceremony, whiskey-pouring moment with their parents, and bold floral palette brought meaning and personality to every part of the day. And the live band? Absolutely electric — a perfect nod to the venue’s musical roots.
One of the most meaningful and unique touches was a special ritual during the ceremony where both sets of parents came together to pour whiskey — a symbolic gesture of blending families and shared history. That kind of intentionality was woven throughout the entire day.
