A horse-drawn carriage brings magic to a wedding. You could say I’m a little biased since I have been blessed to have raised horses my entire life, but I can’t imagine them not a part of every bride’s ceremony.
Let’s start with the history of the carriage to truly understand the its significance and how it relates to weddings. While researching, I found a great site, Trevi Carriages (www.trevicarriages.com), which explained the history so beautifully that I wanted to share it with you.
(History as given by Trevi Carriages)
Weddings are extraordinarily beautiful and magical celebrations, which involve a lot of traditions and customs. Traditionally, wedding coaches taking bride to the altar were harnessed with three horses, because horses bring luck and the sound of hooves clanging promises a happy and prosperous life to the married couple.
By ordering the wedding carriage, you'll indulge yourself in beauty and nobility, luxury and comfort. The wedding carriage will emphasize the elegance and uniqueness.
Ellis Ranch hosts about 100 to 130 weddings per year, and 95 percent of those brides choose to have the carriage bring them to the altar to say the sacred vows.
When we run into guests who have attended one of the weddings held at our ranch, we ask them what they remembered the most. They all typically say that the carriage and the horses that brought the bride over the hill to the gazebo had to be the most breathtaking thing they had ever seen, and they will always remember it. So maybe I’m not that biased, after all.
We coordinate carriages for many weddings, and yet I still get tears in my eyes when I see the carriage -- every time.
