Horse drawn Carriages??

Big old no from me. But then I'm a vegan and I've been following the campaign to abolish them in New York, so I guess I would say that. In fact here's the Pope of Nope to illustrate my feelings

The thing to think about is distances, if its too far then it takes too long to travel, to the church will mean that you will have to start getting ready that much earlier, and the travel to reception from church then all of your guests will be there ages before you.

I mostly only see them where the bride is a big horse fan and probably also owns her own horse too.

A friend of a friend had one, the horse bolted on the way to the church, both her and her dad ended up in hospital with minor injuries and the wedding had to be rearranged.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, ha!

But seriously, no. They're not for me. Not sure I really see the point. Dare I say they seem a bit 'Jordan-esque'?! Maybe it's just the pink ones

Luckily my church is literally a 2 minutes car ride away fromt the venue so the distance isnt that bad.

i also know the horses and the woman who does it or at least my mum does.

I just am not sure at all

Definitely not for as I am terrified of horses!

I must admit, I find them a bit tacky but horses for courses and all that. (Just getting in a terrible pun too)

Got to agree with what others have said, I find them a little tacky...

I agree. I think they are tacky

Honest answer - i think it's naff.

If you like it though then why not. I'm not a girly girl so that's probably why i think they're a bit silly.

I hate horses, so big no from me! Haha. Each to their own, I think it's a bit showy, and probaby not all that practical. Sadly I also think big fat gypsy weddings ruined it a bit!

Love the Pope of nope!

I'm also in the no camp...i think they are a bit naff....however we've gone for a vintage VW beetle & campervan which will no doubt be tomorrows horse & carriage ha x

I love horses and considered having mine pull a carriage to my wedding

unfortunately my venue, whilst close, is in a very hilly area and I would not want my horse pulling that distance and terrain

Also he is still rather young and unsure of himself so may not do well with the heavy traffic for such a long period

I looked at hiring one but as my venue is so close I didn't want to pay that amount for such a short journey

If you want one, go for it

xoxo

Im not a fan, they remind me of a funeral...sorry

I love horses but otherwise this ) horse and carriage affairs are now synonymous with BFGY and Funerals sadly.....unless you're royalty of course x

I love horse & carriage but in period drama's therefore I'm in the no camp for several reasons

I find them a bit too showy/princessey which is the complete opposite of me

the carriages I like are completely open not great for all weather - the clear bubble ones for if it rains just remind me of Cinderella (again opposite to me)

the distance you have to be is not practical

I would be too scared falling flat on my face infront of everyone trying to get out of it! (I'm prone to this in jeans let alone a dress!)

I'm in the naff, pope of nope camp.

If you want one and love horses, have one! If done well in a classic way rather than a Jordan way, they can be lovely for short distances. However consider the practicalities as people have already said. I didn't have one but special transport was never a priority for me.

It's all a bit gypsy wedding for me I'm afraid but each to their own.

Genuinely neither here nor there personally. i'd be happy to ride in one in windsor great park for example, but it wasn't a must have for the wedding.

reindeer sleighs however oh now that i'd be all over hahaha totally off track i know but still missing my holiday lol

Despite loving/owning horses its a no from me. I know too much... I'd spend the whole time analysing the horses behaviour, looking for things for it to spook at etc etc. I'm quite looking forward to one day away from animals and horse/dog hair!!!

I love horses, but I'd rather ride one to the wedding than be drawn in a carriage.
