The foods should be familiar to everyone

"The possibilities are endless! These days, terrific vegan meats and cheeses are readily av ailable, so you can 'veganize' any favorite recipe or stick with dishes that spotlight fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables," Cehn advises. "For my wedding, I went with a buffet of traditional foods that everyone knows and loves, including bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms, dairy-free pesto rotini, vegetable tian, roasted petite red potatoes, vegan quiche, and artisan bread and olive oil."

"For the wedding cake, if there's a vegan bakery in your area, definitely contact it first, but if you can't find one, you can always ask any bakery to make a vegan cake or cupcake tower. Veganizing cake is as simple as using an egg replacement and swapping nut milk for cow's milk. Another popular option is to have a dessert bar—that's what my husband and I did, and our guests absolutely loved it. You can include a selection of your favorite treats, and your friends and family will get to try out an array of dairy- and egg-free desserts."

Give your guests a heads up

"You can let guests know in advance that the food will be vegan or simply place 'vegan' labels by the food on the reception tables."
