Sara & Gentry’s Wedding
Sara and Gentry's love story is the perfect example of childhood friends turned high school sweethearts. After eleven years of being together, they finally got engaged and started planning their dream wedding. Sara's parents wanted to make sure that their daughter's special day was nothing short of perfection. So, they hired the talented wedding planners at Events by Jamie Lyn to plan a Hawaiian inspired dream wedding.
The venue for the wedding was the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach, California, which was also the same location where Gentry proposed to Sara. The resort is known for its premier facilities and stunning views of the Newport Beach harbor. Events by Jamie Lyn's team helped to obtain a room block so that all the family and friends could enjoy the resort all weekend long.
One of Sara's top priorities for the wedding was to have lavish Hawaiian inspired florals. To make this happen, Events by Jamie Lyn partnered with Sherine, a local SoCal florist who has over 40 years of experience in the floral industry. Sherine curated the perfect florals to create Sara's dream florals for her special day.
The wedding day started early with hair and makeup for the bridal party. The team at Aly Rose Beauty, based in Temecula California, joined the wedding party to ensure that all the ladies felt their best on this joyous occasion. The ceremony was held on the lawn of the resort, which provided breathtaking views of the Newport Beach harbor. Sara and Gentry exchanged vows underneath a specialty curated arch that was flowing with palms and orchids in Sara's chosen palate of white, soft peach, and soft blues, perfectly reflecting the ocean views.
After the happy couple said "I do," the first surprise of the day was revealed. A flame dancer serenaded the newlyweds with the wedding dance, an ancient blessing for their marriage. This surprise left all the guests in awe and created a lasting memory for the happy couple.
Sara and Gentry opted for a morning ceremony so that they could enjoy their favorite food, breakfast, at their reception. This twist on wedding reception food allowed the planners to serve fun mimosas and champagne to be enjoyed by all. While the guests finished their breakfast cuisine, the second surprise of the day was revealed. Hawaiian dancers and drummers performed for the guests, adding an extra touch of Hawaiian culture to the wedding. After their performance, they even taught the hula to the guests, creating a fun and memorable experience for everyone.
Once everyone had learned the hula, the DJ took over and played all the favorites of the couple. The dance floor was the place to be, and all the guests danced the day away. Sara and Gentry had their dream wedding, and they, along with their families and friends, will cherish the memories of that day for a lifetime.
