If you are planning a wedding and can’t decide yet of which wedding theme you would want to have, take a cue from the latest trend of merging the wedding ceremony with a boating trip or cruise. San Diego is a popular wedding destination for this, and a boat wedding San Diego will make the occasion even more special and memorable.

Getting married on a boat means you can go with a distinctly nautical theme. Do not be discouraged if you still want a more formal touch as you can always make a nautically themed wedding look classic and elegant. It is all about changing the right color scheme and materials essential in making your dream wedding happen.

2. Your guest list will not be too overwhelming

Sometimes, choosing who to invite on your wedding can be hard especially if you want almost everyone in your life to be there. However, a wedding at sea means you can limit your criteria, your list, and even your budget. With this concept, your guest list will be manageable. Instead of trying to provide basics for a large group of people, you can focus on giving a small group of those closest to you a luxurious intimate experience. 

3. Boat weddings can save money

The average American wedding costs about $35,000. A wedding at sea is more economical. As someone who is getting married, you would probably want to be able to save money and still have a great wedding reception. Weddings can be expensive and being wise about where and how you splurge is vital throughout your wedding process.

4. Enjoy a beautiful view

Celebrate your love for one another under a beautiful horizon with a dramatic view of a city skyline. A boat tour is a great way to get married. On a San Diego harbor tour, you can savor natural beauty as you exchange vows.
