Cinderella wedding themes have been popular for a long time and I suspect they will continue to be popular for a long time to come - precisely because the theme resonates so deeply with how we feel about the beauty of our love. Toward that end brides often try to build a Cinderella themed wedding by giving out Cinderella themed wedding favors and using castle cake toppers. They commission castle shaped ice sculptures (as pictured to the left) and rent a sword for the groom and groomsmen to wear on their hip during the ceremony.
But... What if there was a way to take the Cinderella wedding theme to the next level? And what if by doing so you were also helping to cut back on the carbon footprint of your wedding?
Imagine arriving and later pulling away in a gorgeously restored enclosed carriage with yourself and your new spouse waving to your loved ones from behind the privacy of heavy velvet curtains and the driver sitting high atop the carriage. Or perhaps an open carriage is more appealing? Would that not make you feel truly like you had your fairytale ending?
Personally, I would choose a petite carriage pulled by a pair of adorable miniature horses. True, it is not as regal as a carriage drawn by Clydesdale's but the cute factor is way over the top and it would make the event one of the most memorable in a long time.
What better way to build a Cinderella themed wedding and reduce your carbon footprint than to use a horse drawn carriage for your arrival and get-away as horses burn zero fossil fuels!
