Vegetarian Wedding Menu

If you're vegan, veggie, raw or just light on the planet (or if ONE of you is veggie, like many couples) you'll need to talk about the wedding menu. My Minnesota relatives are very kind, but they think vegetarian means tuna casserole. A full Indian vegetarian wedding would be yummy and wonderful and colorful and aromatic - and give most of them heartburn. And vegan wedding cakes are a challenge - no eggs, butter, or milk or refined sugar.
That's why most vegan wedding cakes I've found are variations of Carrot Cake (or zucchini chocolate cake) with oil and flaxseed instead of eggs. But of course you want them to be PRETTY, too. And organic. And fair trade. And YUMMY. Here is a really nice vegetarian wedding menu, with an awfully pretty cake. And the menu is inspired. Don't settle for boring pasta, bruschetta and mock meatballs - plan a seasonal menu or buffet that's unique. We'll add to our link list of real wedding menus as we find them.
