How to make you and your friends feel at home before the big day…

We asked Aspen wedding and event planner, Virginia Edelson of Bluebird Productions, what her top ten ideas are for brides to do with her bridesmaids in Aspen. She had some great ideas to share.

  1. Take a Ride up the Gondola to the top of Aspen Mountain for an amazing view of this magical little town.
  2. Enjoy one of Snowmass’ Thursday night free concerts
  3. Get dressed up, and go out into town to enjoy one of Justice Snows signature cocktails.
  1. Sit back, relax and enjoy a Rocky Mountain Ritual treatment at the Remede Spa at the St. Regis.
  2. Enjoy a ladies lunch at Mawa’s kitchen! Either have her cater it for you or combine it with a fun cooking class.
  3. Take a hike up around the Maroon Bells and enjoy one of the most scenic views Aspen has to offer – don’t forget to pack a picnic.
  1. Make sure to take a bicycle ride down the Rio Grande Trail, and stop for a refreshing Margarita at the Woody Creek Tavern
  2. Go out and enjoy a show at the Belly Up
  3. Throw on your wetsuits and enjoy an adventurous Blazing Adventures raft trip down the Upper Roaring Fork River
  4. Explore the Aspen Saturday Market to see and enjoy some of Aspen’s best vendors for local food and crafts.
