2008 VegNews Vegan Wedding Feature


From the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains to the sun-dappled City by the Bay, vegan weddings are becoming the new standard for progressive would-be marrieds. Meet eight modern couples who blended their ethics with their nuptials with lovely—and delicious—results.

2008 marks VegNews Magazine’s eighth year showcasing breathtaking vegan weddings, each one as unique as the brides and grooms who host them. VN editors have confirmed that pulling off a sensational, crowd-pleasing celebration that doesn’t involve compromising values is no longer the challenge it once was. Today, the toughest questions for couples planning their perfect vegan wedding are of the mouth-watering variety, such as, “Do you prefer a layer of Chocolate Ganache or Raspberry Mousse in the Fudgy Chocolate Cake?” or, “Did we order enough Lemon Risotto Balls?”

The wedding industry, perhaps the most traditional and decadent of all, is finally awakening from a gaudy nightmare of overindulgence. Imaginative and resourceful vendors determined to realize the fairy tales of a new breed of visionary brides and grooms are now catering to the demands of their increasingly conscientious clientele, right down to the dazzling details like organic-flower bouquets, elegant gowns sewn with high-tech plant-based fibers, and fair-trade, ethically produced favors.

Throw in the grassroots gusto of everyone involved in the planning process—family, friends, and the brides and grooms themselves—and you’re in for a truly lovely procession of compassionate and eco-conscious weddings, page after page. Read ‘em and weep, but not for the animals or the planet.
