Opinion on horse and carriage

What is your colour scheme? That makes a big difference IMO, and will the horses be plaited up? Will they be decorated plaits (ie ribbons as well)?

Eg my colour scheme is red, black and white, so in your situation I'd probably go for black horses with a white carriage and red ribbons / flowers, OR if I thought a white dress would blend into a white carriage too much, I'd have a black carriage and white horses. I wouldn't have both black, and for me personally all white would be too much white.

White horses will show up any dirt, eg if it rains (I hope not!) and they go through any puddles, it WILL show - never underestimate how filthy a horse can get in a short space of time!

Let us know you colours and overall 'feel' for the wedding and we can help a bit more!

As a horsey person, black horses are funeral horses & white carriages should only be used if they are traditional in style - not katie price tacky! Black/dark carriages are more traditional as are white (grey) horses.

PS - white horses are used JUST as much a black horses for funerals. For funerals, both black and white horses wear black tack, are usually not plaited up, and wear black plumes.

Oops cross posted with Panda - I agree white is traditional for weddings, but both black and white are used in equal measure for weddings and funerals nowadays so unless you are going for a very traditional wedding, I wouldn't let that colour your judgement

Black carriage with white horses would look beautiful, are you wearing a white dress? Would look great if you are. x
