In Buddhism, there is really no such thing as "taboo". However, we must understand the needs of their family before making specific decisions.

First, the Buddha asks that Buddhists do not consume alcohol (some people say it is okay as long as we don't get intoxicated, but from the scriptures this is not the intention of the Buddha). And from the perspective of bodhisattvas, it is worse to encourage others to consume alcohol than for oneself to do so. Alcoholic beverages do not do us any good, yet are able to harm our bodies in general and our livers in particularly. Therefore, it is best to not provide any alcoholic beverages at the wedding banquet. This is especially important if the family and the couple have taken the five precepts or the bodhisattva vows.

Second, the Buddha does not believe that killing can bring ultimate happiness. Restrain from making animal sacrifices, i.e., ordering barbequed pork as a form of offering to the deities or to the Buddha. The Buddha believes that such action will only bring negative karmic consequences in the future.

And if any friends of family members happen to be vegeterians, we need to make sure that there are no black food in any of the dishes. "Black food" includes garlic, onions, green onions, chives, or animal flesh (and yes, flesh from fish and chicken are considered aniaml flesh). Most Buddhist vegeterians do not consume eggs, so it is wise to make sure none of the food has egg as an ingredient.

In terms of ceremony and decoration, there are not rules set in stone. Afterall, this is all up to the family and the newly wed. Even a Christian ritual is acceptable, but of course it's a different story whether a Buddhist couple can request a pastor to that for them.

Hope this helps.

The decoration is no difference than the others, but it is better for not putting Angels or cross stuff for decoration there.
Is all the people who are going to come to drink is vegetarian? It is because some of the buddists is not vegetarian. Maybe you have to prepare some food for who is vegetarian and who is not. And separate them into vegetarian or non-vegetarian by dinning tables.
For vegetarian, the soy source or the spicy source or sweet source you have to pay attention for there would be no meat or garlic production from these kind of sources.
For the food you are prepared for the vegetarian for the buddists, the food must be not included the green onions, onions and garlics.
參考: I have joined these kind of wedding before and I am a buddist.
