Get some information online, take a look around several restaurants for taste tests or ask someone who has already been through this type of experience. If you can’t find specific restaurants in your area, you can always give the cook some recipes. Obviously there will be no meat and fish, but fruit, vegetables and cereals only. A little bit of creativity will be enough to surprise all your guests.
Wine, beer and wedding cake: lots of “green” options
At first, your guests will not be so happy in front of your veg wedding cake, but later they will think again about its amazing taste. It’s true that a real wedding cake requires traditional ingredients like eggs, milk and butter; but you can find many vegan restaurants online that can make delicious “green” cakes. Among the most popular flavors you can find chocolate with vanilla butter, lemon with poppy seeds or berries filling.

The beer list will be vegan too. Check the most famous German and Belgian brands for cruelty-free beers that are not made with animal products. Do the same for the wine list and don’t forget to tell the catering.
Choose your dress carefully
The couple’s dresses need to be chosen carefully. The bride mustn’t wear leather accessories or fur coats and should avoid silk materials. The groom mustn’t wear a wool tuxedo or a silk tie and should use eco-leather belt and shoes. For your ecological dresses you can ask a specialized designer.
Find a cruelty-free makeup artist
The cruelty-free cosmetic commerce is expanding, and more and more makeup artists work with this kind of cosmetics. Make sure that the artist will use cruelty-free makeup and brushes. Do the same with the hairdresser: tell her to use just eco-bio products for your hairstyle. Decorations, gifts and party favors? Obviously vegan!
What’s a better gift than saving a life? Ask your guests to devolve money to an animalistic association or a charity. You can also choose veg decorations: ask to avoid silk tablecloths and beeswax candles. What about party favors? Take a look at these eco-sustainable ideas for a “green” wedding.
