Traveling by land has been quicker and more convenient since the discovery of cars decades ago. We can also enjoy sailing through the deep ocean, thanks to the invention of luxury cruise ships. Airplanes have made traveling to other counties faster. Despite the constant innovation in transportation mode, there is no denying that nothing beats horse drawn carriages to set NYC in a romantic fever.
Would you ask for more if given the chance to ride in fairytale-like horse drawn carriages together with your valentine? I bet you will feel like a Disney Princess watching your dream unfold right before your eyes!
Weddings happen once in a lifetime for many of us so we make the necessary preparation to make the occasion a magnificent one. You will have to allot a budget for the catering, bridal gown, groom’s suit, clothes of the entourage, and an amazing bridal car to complement such a special event. While you’re at the planning stage, try to veer from the conventional wedding. Be unique! Instead of riding a limousine or sedan, which is very common in weddings, why not opt for horse drawn carriages designed for weddings? Arrive in style and be extraordinary with one of these wedding carriage rides!
Do you still remember the story of the Disney Princess who rose from rags to riches? Yes, we’re talking about Cinderella and her story with horse drawn carriages. Remember hers was the most unique because it was made out of a pumpkin? You’re lucky you don’t have to look for a pumpkin in your garden since horse drawn carriages are now offered in NYC.
Wondering where horse drawn carriages originated?
Some of the first horse drawn carriages were found in Celtic graves thus hinting that the cart’s platform was completely suspended in a frame, elastically. During the first century BC, the Romans first used the so-called sprung wagons for their overland journeys. These carriages gradually disappeared through civilization as lesser people found it useful.
During the Middle Age, travelers who couldn’t walk such as the elders and the handicapped rode carts. This paved the way for the discovery of an unstrung cart. While ordinary people made use of this, closed carriages were beginning to be widely used by those in the upper class during the 16th century.
In 1601, however, England banned men from using horse drawn carriages sighting it as effeminate. This incident inspired the nation to invent other vehicles in the 17th century. As the 18th century ushered in, they designed and created a lighter and more fashionable mode of transportation that came in different names. Each person with the capacity to make wonderful carriages worked hand in hand to create light, fast and comfortable vehicles that would guarantee a pleasurable ride for wedding and funerals.
Since then, carriages are drawn in different ways depending on the rules of a state or country. In Spain, the driver continues to ride one of the horses such as the 1939 state visit procession in Canada. In the colony of British and French coaches, the coachman sits on a raised coachbox positioned in the frontal area of a carriage.
