Vegan Wedding in Spain: Tips and Personal Insights

August 30, 2022

One of the most important days of our lives was on the 11th of June when Chris and I got married.

It was such a beautiful day and today we are going to share it with you.

We wanted this day to be unique and represent us that is why it was a bit more different compared to other traditional Spanish and English weddings with hundreds of guests you don’t even know.

Therefore if you are looking for some inspiration about a boho, romantic & vegan wedding keep reading.

We are also sharing an approximate budget for a small vegan wedding like ours.

Ceremony

We had around 70 guests which is pretty small for a Spanish wedding.

We had been looking for weeks for a venue but couldn’t find one that we truly liked.

One day walking our baby dogs we saw this hotel in our village up in the country that we have always loved and decided to ask them if they would consider to let us celebrate our wedding there.

The moment we saw where the ceremony would take place we fall in love with it. It was so romantic and felt like a fairytale. We wanted to be in the outdoors, surrounded by green and our dogs as well.

Some of you may know that Chris and I met 7 years ago in Amsterdam in a common trip with my cousin who is also Chris best friend.

A few months ago we asked him if he would officiate the wedding as he was a very person in our relationship. He agreed even if it was a very big responsibility! It turned to be wonderful and people loved it!

We even had some close friends say some beautiful words.

Add a modern touch to your wedding: We had a flutist & guitarist play songs like modern girl, sign of times, perfect, shape of you and any Ed Sheeran song!

The Food

Our wedding was fully vegan. We wanted to represent us, and serving something that we wouldn’t eat, didn’t feel right.

It took us a long time to find a catering that was willing to help us organizing a full vegan buffet as Spain is not as vegan friendly as other countries. Finally we found Olive Catering

Here are some of the things we served that may help organize yours.

Starters

  • Hummus

  • Different kind of focaccia

  • Guacamole

  • Veggie homemade Chips

  • Seitan Tacos

  • Mini Burgers

  • Vegan Cheese board from Mommus

  • Fresh gazpacho and soups

  • Fruit & Nuts

  • Vegan quiche

Mains

  • Curry

  • Rice & Beans

  • Eggplant meatballs

  • Roasted Potatos

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.Boho Country Side Wedding In SpainHandmade Wood Guest Names

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€

  • Flower Wall With Wedding Flowers

  • 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!
