My friend planned a vegetarian wedding for herself – she spent a lot of time to learn how to organize a vegetarian wedding, because such weddings are usually not as common as other weddings. Organizing a vegetarian wedding involves a few special preparations which you need to do very carefully. Here are some tips which will help you to organize a vegetarian wedding.

Planning a vegetarian menu which is sumptuous is your main task in any wedding. You need to think about variety as well as taste when you are planning the menu…or else your guests might not be happy. Moreover, it is desired to choose dishes which are uncommon so that your wedding is special and memorable for your guests.

• You might be a vegetarian but most of your guests are not vegetarians – so how do you satisfy the taste buds of such guests? You just need to stick to some basic dishes – you can include meatless pastas, some exotic soups, healthy salads, cheese trays, potato dishes, fruits, breads and a variety of sweets. Your guests will simply love them.

• Include some main course dishes like stuffed mushrooms, hummus with pita bread, meatless sushi, vegetarian sandwiches and tortilla chips with guacamole. Try and include some uncommon vegetarian dishes like mushroom filled bread, stuffed tomatoes and eggplant delicacies.

• Do not forget the appetizers which are going to be served with drinks. Ask you caterer about various munchies which it can offer along with some great vegetarian dips.

• You need to get a caterer which specializes in diverse vegetarian dishes since all caterers do not specialize in such dishes. When you find one such catering company, you need to ask them about their specialty menu – every caterer has its own specialization. Let the catering company display its own set of dishes – besides your preferred dishes. Include variety of baked vegetarian appetizers such as baked potatoes, baked eggplant, baked pumpkin and similar kind of dishes.

• A wedding is incomplete without a cake – if you are planning a vegetarian wedding, you should have a vegetarian cake also. You need to order this vegetarian cake well in advance since all bakeries do not make such decorative cakes. You can make the wedding cake the main attraction of your wedding – make the decorations special with fresh cream and sumptuous fruits like strawberries. Your guests will love and adore the cake.

• Desserts – If you are planning for vegetarian desserts – you will have a number of options. You can get in touch with vendors which specialize in veggie desserts. Fruit puddings, custards, fruit pies, fruit cock-tails, fruit ice-creams are all loved as desserts. Include cocktails of your choice as these will be loved by your guests.
