What’s Good on A Cruise Wedding?

By having a shorter guests list, couples get to spend more quality time with guests, embrace joyous of the celebration instead of rushing from table to table. - Capturing Instagrammable photos – everywhere on the cruise.
If you are fancy on snapping beautiful pictures, embark your love life on a cruise or a yacht wedding will surely offer you some of the world’s best and spectacular backdrop of architectures and natures in your wedding photography. - It’s simply fun for everyone!

The Settings
When you are on a cruise, you can get really creative with the decoration – even when you need to comply with the new norm SOPs. Set up your theme and the team at the Precious Moments will be excited to materialize for you. We had a blue ocean theme and we decorated the cruise with White Roses, Blue Hydrangeas, White Cala Lily, Agaphantus and Dendrobium. The composition made a vibrant ambience that complements the sound of crashing waves and the magnificent sunset.
Soft blue-and-white organza sashes wrapped around the chairs arranged in at least 1 meter apart complied to the safety measures and gave sufficient space for up to 30 to 50 guests as they witnessed the couple exchanging their wedding vows.
