Does carriage need to be practical or representative?

With a very low budget we built the carriage using a child's metal Cinderella bed frame we purchased from Amazon as the frame and decked it out with yards of gold fabric and flowers.The base is constructed of plywood and then upholstered with wheels attached for movement.  Check out the photo to see the carriage on stage.  If you want more information, please email me with your questions. I also have a very cool transformation dress available for purchase.

We are also doing this show this fall.  I LOVE the idea of using the bed frame as the basis for the carriage.  I think it would be cheaper/easier than trying to build everything from scratch.  With the help of our welding/woodshop/ag classes I think I can make it work!  Thanks for the inspiration and help!!!

I did Cinderella last year and used the young girls bed that looked like the Cinderella carriage. We put it on a platform that rolled around stage. Connected our horse and it was great! Here's a picture of the bed. I couldn't find a photo of ours but I'll look. It worked great! And then we put little lights on it. It was really cool on stage.
