Vegan Wedding in Spain: Tips and Personal Insights

Sweet Table

We had our vegan wedding cake the top part was carrot and the bottom chocolate. Many croissants, donuts, cookies, chocolate and candy! From Cositas de perla

The Decoration

When organising a wedding you will find out, it is not as easy as it seems. Most of the wedding look the same as they all have the same chairs, tables, napkins etc.

We wanted ours to be different, a mix of boho, country & romantic style all in one.

We mixed earth and pink tones to add a warm touch. A few months before, we collected some branches where I craved every guest name on it and painted lots of candelabros for long coral candles that looked amazing at night.

The Cost & ideas that will help you save money

First thing you need to do is set up a budget for your wedding. In Spain normal weddings start at 15-30k till anything you want.

We wanted to lower the price a little bit with things we really didn’t need (Dj, wedding car, expensive shoes you only use once, priest, open bar, expensive gifts, printed invitations)

• Food

  Food is probably the most expensive part of every wedding. It also depends on how many guests you have. We had 70 and it cost us around 3500€ as we chose a vegan buffet style instead of proper wedding meals.

• Music

  We didn’t hire a dj, instead my sister and a friend created a Spotify list and just connected to our speakers. Cost of rental 50€

• Venue

  Another big expense. In Spain most of the places are around 2-5k euros. Some of them include the whole package which will help you save money. Cost 2000 €

• Invitations

  Instead of printing invitations, I designed them in Canva and sent them on email & Whatsapp. Cost 0€

• Drinks

  We opted for buying our own drinks and hire a few people to help us organise them all. Which saved us thousands of euros. We had an open bar with wine, vodka, whisky, gin for everyone for just 300€

• Gifts

  In our wedding we had different gifts:

  We told our guests to bring home all the flowers on the tables so they wouldn’t end up in the trash.

  We craved our guests names on the wood so they could bring it home

• Flowers

  Another big expense. It also depend on what kind of flower you would like to add.

  If you want to save money ask your florist for greens and flowers that will in season at that moment.

  Also, if you add more greens you will save lots of money. A very affordable flower that we love is paniculata, which is great for weddings. Our cost 1200€

• Tip: You can gift your wedding flowers to family and friend or find a place at home

• Decoration

  Renting all the decoration for the ceremony and the buffet tables, our tables and 3 girls preparing everything was around 3000-4000€

• Clothes

  We wanted to buy clothes and shoes that we would use after and not only for one day.

  I ended up buying my dream dress at Pronovias so I spent a bit more money than what I had in mind but it’s ok. Cost between 1000-3000€

• Make up and hair

  My sister did my make up as she is really good at it and didn’t want to spend hundreds of euros on that.

  For my hair I wanted a similar style of what I normally wear with some extra waves and paniculata which was around 100€ with the fitting.

• Photographer

  We hired Paula Bohem as we loved her style and she was very nice. We loved our photos!

• Other expenses

  You always need to keep in mind that other expenses may come in mind so it would be better if you write everything down to not miss anything.

  Our wedding cost at the end was something probably between 12-14k euros which is not bad compared to Spanish prices and we had the best time of our lives!
