It would be more "proper" to move between the two chords in such a way as to minimize the distance the hand moves. Instead of going from
C E G
to
G B D
You'd go from
C E G
to
B D G
"Horrible" is a strong word for how the first voicing would sound. But it's certainly a little more graceful and classically correct-sounding to do something like the second voicing.

I'm curious why you think this chord progression will sound "horrible." Is this just what you *think* it will sound like or do you have an actual subjective experience with this progression? I just played this on my piano and it sounds fine to me.
In fact, playing these two chords in succession suggests a tonic in C, and so you have a I-V progression, one of the most common in Western music.
So again, I'm curious why you think this is going to sound horrible?
