Trying on Vegan
With the number of food allergies in existence and the special dietary needs that exist for so many, planning a wedding meal can be difficult task to undertake if one wishes to make all of their guests happy and satisfied. While some bridal couples will try to make a variety of choices available; others will create a set "plate" service, and let the chips fall where they may. An option that falls somewhere in between is the creation of a vegan menu, that more often than not will be able to accommodate as many dietary needs as possible in one sitting.
Defined as food that does not contain any animal products (including eggs, milk or other dairy products and honey) this animal-free mindset will often transfer over to other aspects of the bride and groom's wedding accessories including animal free fashions (no silk, wool or fur), leather-less shoes, and even the choosing of wedding makeup that is totally devoid of any sort of animal products.
In addition to being something bridal couples are choosing not only to benefit the diets and needs of their guests but also to meet their own humanitarian beliefs, the using of vegan products more often than not will also ensure organic and locally grown products as well. Giving bridal couples a chance to hit three social causes in one shot.
While at first mention, a vegan wedding may not sound to the untried as a very appetizing option, once the world of vegan cooking is opened up and guests can see firsthand the number of options and wide variety of flavorful foods available, they may just decide for themselves that the vegan option is not as bad as they had expected.
Those looking to serve their guests a full vegan menu, will need to find themselves a totally vegan catering service, who can whip up such tasty delights as: lemongrass soup, pineapple-accented salad, pad Thai, and other tasty ethnic plant-based dishes.
Even wedding cakes can be created using vegan methods and still turn out delicious. With such tasty treats as vegan Black Forest cake, Chocolate Raspberry cake, Vanilla cake, and many, many others.
If your special day is one for the world, a vegan wedding may be right for you. Try it on for size...you just may like it.
