Green Wedding at Vista West Ranch in Texas

For today’s real wedding is a fun and casual wedding at Vista West Ranch that brought together a love for nature and good BBQ! Nhu and Steve planned a beautiful DIY affair inspired by the Texas hill country. They also tried to incorporate “green” elements wherever they could: reusing wine and soda bottles for the flower arrangements, using biodegradable plates and silverware, and using old postcards for the guest sign-in.

Nhu kept the centerpieces simple, with flowers from Whole Foods in recycled bottles. We love the rustic wood table numbers too!

Nhu and Steve had lots of fun activities for their guests, including lawn games, a photobooth with empty frames, and a chalkboard for props.
