For many people, horses are part of their lives, and having contact with these equines forges a very strong bond between the animal and the person. This is why more and more couples want to have horses at their weddings.
We love these animals! They are noble, elegant and calm. This way, you can take advantage of them to get to the altar, offer an equestrian show or do a photo session with them, among others.
So, if you have horses, you are horse riding enthusiasts or you simply like all the iconography that surrounds these animals, here are some different ways to include horses in your wedding.
Take note!
Arrival at the ceremony
Can you imagine arriving at your ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage? There are many options of carriages: small, large, antique, vintage, wooden or modern. You can also choose whether you want one horse or many.
Whether it’s a romantic ceremony on the beach or in a meadow or field, entering on horses will allow you to enjoy this unique moment in a free and easy way. And in this idyllic setting, an entrance on the back of a stunning horse will be a perfect way to bring majesty and elegance to the moment, enhancing that natural feeling of absolute freedom.
A true fairytale experience!
Walking down the aisle
Imagine the look on everyone’s face when they see the bride, or both of you, walking down the aisle with or on the back of a horse. I’m sure no one expects you to walk down the beautiful aisle with this noble animal!
Arriving on horseback, as Bianca Jagger did in Studio 54, is more than tempting – your guests will certainly be thrilled!
After the ceremony
Time to head for the cocktail party! And if the cocktail party is in a different location to the ceremony, there’s nothing like making your debut as newlyweds on horseback.
You can run away like Julia Roberts in Bride on the Run!
At a horse show
If you are thinking of having horses at the wedding, you can put on a horse show with these animals.
You can hire specialists to put on unforgettable horse shows: riding, dressage, dancing… Even if you do it yourselves, it will be very exciting and romantic for your guests to see them take part in the show. Moreover, they will never forget it and it will be something very original.
In stables, in a stable or in a meadow
Yes, as you read it, there are many wedding venues that have equestrian corners, as well as outdoor areas with these animals, so horses can be part of the environment of your day and share the evening with you.
They’ll be just one more! Just make sure that they are in their comfort zone, whether in the countryside, in a stable, on a farm…
Entertainment for the little ones
If you want more than just music at your wedding to entertain your guests, especially the younger ones, you can include a play area with horses or ponies.
It’s not about turning horses into entertainment objects or making them spin for hours, it’s about raising awareness about animal care, contact with nature, etc.
At the wedding photoshoot
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to ride a horse, as long as you like these elegant animals you can enjoy them in your photo shoot. Wedding photos with horses are the most romantic.
You can pose with this companion and even hang headdresses and floral crowns to complement the bouquet and the theme of the big day.
Also, did you know that horses are some of the most photogenic animals there are and that they give the most play in front of the camera’s lens
A nice and different ride through the city
Make the most of the fact that you have horses at the wedding and don’t just go straight to the church or the ceremony venue from your starting point or, at least, don’t do it on the way back when there is more time until the cocktail party.
Yes, instead of taking shortcuts, there is nothing better than strolling through the most beautiful and emblematic streets of the city where you are getting married or through the areas of the wedding venue.
It will be a walk you will remember forever!
And don’t forget the equestrian decorations!
If you love horses so much, what could be better than including them in the decoration? How? Very simple! You can place horseshoes hanging from the trees or on the candy bar table.
And what if the figure on the wedding cake is a horse? The centrepieces can also be escorted by small horses carved out of wood.
For the space, you can place saddles, spurs, straw blocks in the green areas, horse saddles, equestrian hats, boots and pieces related to this environment.
And for the banquet tables and chairs, there’s nothing like rustic ones, with a worn effect, all typical of a stable, and don’t forget the cushions with designs alluding to the equestrian world!
Remember that the main colour will be brown and earth tones, and to tone it down, the ideal is to mix it with pastel tones, such as pink or light green.
