In recent years, more couples in Vancouver have been drawn to weddings that feel authentic, intentional, and gentle on the planet. The rise of sustainable wedding culture is not just a passing trend. It reflects a shift in values, a quiet return to love, community, and connection. At The Ensora, every part of our indoor ceremony space in Richmond BC was created with this consciousness in mind. We believe beauty should never come at the cost of the environment or peace of mind.
1. Keep It Intimate and Meaningful
The simplest way to make your ceremony eco-conscious is to keep it small. Limiting the guest list to your closest friends and family naturally reduces travel emissions, waste, and energy use. A smaller ceremony also allows couples to slow down and be fully present. You can design every moment with intention, focusing on your vows, your emotions, and the people who truly matter. At The Ensora, our space is designed for intimate weddings of up to 20 guests, allowing every couple to feel the calm and focus that large venues often lose.
2. Choose Reusable and Evergreen Decor
Beauty can be lasting. The Ensora uses premium silk florals, live plants, and evergreen arrangements that look stunning all year while producing zero waste. Our neutral green and white palette mirrors nature without needing to cut fresh blooms every week. Reusable decor not only reduces waste but also creates a sense of timelessness. It reminds couples that love, like beauty, can be renewed and sustained. From ghost chairs to minimalist textures, every piece at The Ensora is designed to serve multiple ceremonies while keeping the environment in mind.
3. Embrace Natural Light and Simplicity
Sustainability is not only about materials. It is about energy too. Holding your ceremony in a bright, naturally lit space minimizes the need for artificial lighting and creates a calm, organic atmosphere. The Ensora’s indoor ceremony venue in Richmond BC was designed to make the most of daylight. The light that pours through every surface adds a gentle radiance to photos and creates a sense of warmth and openness. There is no need for extravagant installations or excess lighting when nature already provides the perfect illumination.
4. Support Local and Like-Minded Vendors
Working with local professionals helps reduce carbon footprint while supporting the Vancouver wedding community. Choosing vendors who share your values makes the entire experience more harmonious. Whether it is a photographer who loves natural light or a florist who specializes in eco-conscious designs, every collaboration can reflect your principles. The more you communicate your goals with your vendors, the easier it becomes to align creativity with care for the environment.
5. Create a Ceremony that Feels Alive
An eco-conscious wedding is not about rules or restrictions. It is about creating a space that feels alive with presence and meaning. When the noise of excess fades, what remains is honesty, emotion, and stillness. Whether you are exchanging vows surrounded by greenery or signing your papers under soft natural light, each gesture becomes more intentional and true. Sustainability, at its heart, is an act of awareness, and a wedding that honors that awareness becomes quietly unforgettable.
A Ceremony that Reflects Your Values
At The Ensora, we believe sustainability is as much about emotion as it is about design. The space itself encourages stillness, sincerity, and balance. Every choice we make, from silk florals to simplified ceremony structures, comes from the same belief: that love and sustainability can coexist beautifully. The future of weddings is not bigger, but more thoughtful, and every couple has the chance to make that choice.
