What to serve when the menu calls for no meat, fish, shellfish or poultry. How to have a wedding cake when there can be no eggs, milk or refined sugar!

Have fun planning your Vegan wedding menu

The word "wedding" and the word "traditions" have always gone hand in hand. Planning any wedding is exciting and labor-intensive, so when something "unusual" is thrown into the mix, it becomes that much more complicated and that much more difficult. It has become much more popular in recent years for wedding couples to veer from the norms and traditions of the past and to establish new traditions which reflect their own way of thinking and living . . . and so, vegetarian weddings have begun to come into their own.


What is a vegetarian?

There are many kinds of vegetarians
Before discussing the special issues involved in planning a vegetarian wedding, for the sake of clarity, a few definitions are in order. A vegetarian diet, in the most generally accepted definition, is one which contains no meat, fish, shellfish or poultry. Some vegetarians categorize what they will not eat as "anything that has a face."


Another level of maintaining a vegetarian diet is "ovolacto." "Ovo" refers to eggs, and "lacto" to milk (and, by extension, to all dairy products). An ovo-lacto vegetarian is comfortable eating eggs and dairy products. An ovo-vegetarian eats eggs but will not consume dairy products; a lacto-vegetarian consumes dairy products but will not eat eggs. A majority of vegetarians are ovolacto.


A vegan refers to those who will eat nothing at all containing an animal product. That includes products which have nothing to do with causing an animal's death to obtain the product. Vegans eat neither eggs nor dairy products. Many vegans also avoid honey and refined (white) sugar.
