At River Garden Weddings, our blank canvas wedding venue nestled in the scenic beauty of Vista, California, we believe in celebrating love while nurturing the environment. Planning an eco-friendly event not only reduces your carbon footprint but also creates a meaningful and sustainable celebration. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of planning an eco-friendly event at our venue. From mindful choices to sustainable practices, let's explore how you can host a memorable and environmentally conscious wedding.

Opt for a Natural Setting: Our venue offers a beautiful natural setting that aligns perfectly with your eco-friendly event. Embrace the outdoor spaces, lush gardens, and serene riverside views to minimize the need for excessive decorations. Let nature be the main backdrop, allowing its beauty to shine through.

Mindful Guest List and Invitations: Start your eco-friendly event by creating a mindful guest list. Invite only those who are closest to you, reducing travel and carbon emissions. For invitations, opt for digital or recycled paper options. Consider using plantable invitations that can be planted after the event, blossoming into beautiful flowers.

Sustainable Decor and Styling: When it comes to decor, choose sustainable and reusable materials. Consider repurposing items or renting decor pieces to minimize waste. Incorporate natural elements such as potted plants, reclaimed wood, and locally sourced flowers. Use energy-efficient LED lighting or opt for candlelight to create a romantic ambiance.

Eco-Conscious Catering: Partner with a caterer who prioritizes sustainable practices. Choose locally sourced, organic, and seasonal ingredients for your menu. Opt for vegetarian or vegan options, which have a lower carbon footprint. Minimize food waste by offering smaller portions or setting up a composting station.
