14 Vegan Wedding Dinners Your Carnivore Guests Will Love, Too

If you’re having a big wedding, chances are that you’ll have at least one (but probably more like five) vegan guest in attendance. Throw in your vegetarian college roommate and Uncle Bobby’s severe seafood allergy, and it’s time to start thinking of vegan options that will make everyone happy. Presenting ideas for apps, salads, mains and dessert.

6 Wedding Food Mistakes You Don’t Want to Make


Appetizer: Sweet Potato Avocado Bites

These will look great next to your signature rosé spritzer.

Appetizer: Epic Vegan ‘cheese’ Platter

Set up a buffet with a few of these gorgeous plates and watch them disappear.

Appetizer: Vegan Crostini With Nectarines And White Bean Spread

So festive for a spring or summer celebration.


Sundried Tomato Basil Arancini

Even Grandma will devour these.

Salad: Grape, Avocado And Arugula Salad

Light and refreshing (so there’s more room for cake).

Salad: Asparagus Salad

Make sure the caterers blanch the asparagus for a fabulous crunch.

Salad: Potato Salad With Maple Mustard Dressing

In a word, yum.


Main: Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Polenta

Hearty and satisfying.

Main: Creamy Butternut Squash Linguine With Fried Sage

Wait, this is dairy-free?

Main: Ratatouille

Looks fancy, but it’s actually really easy to make.

Dessert: Vegan Matcha Pistachio Tres Leches Cake

Pass this photo to your baker for inspo.

Dessert: Vegan Chocolate Lavender Cupcakes

Bookmarking this one for next year’s birthday, too.

Dessert: Vegan Tiramisu

Every bit as decadent as the real thing.

Dessert: Vegan Vanilla And Berry Layer Cake

We can’t believe it’s not buttercream.
