Marie Antoinette in Maine

After a New Year's Eve proposal, Jillian Parker and Paul Blakeslee decided to borrow a page from Marie Antoinette’s playbook for their opulent New England wedding. To bring together the couples' home state and their foreign inspiration, they set the stage in Maine, and Sofia Coppola’s "Marie Antoinette" inspired a rich palette of teal, pale pink, and gold. 

As seen in Martha Stewart Weddings and Style Me Pretty and as styled by THEO's Creative Director Lisa Vorce and captured by Aaron Delesie, Jillian and Paul's wedding portrays key elements easy to re-create using items at the boutique! 

Beautiful ribbon to personalize almost anything, baskets for pretty holding (and even a cake when turned upside down!) votive holders to twinkle, candelabras to make a statement, and mini vases to hold a single flower are just a few. Options and ideas for colors and more are made easy and "shopping this look" is fun and simple!

We hope you'll pop over to THEO to purchase just a few!

Until next time...

Here's a little bit about Lisa and her extraordinary design and event production...

Lisa is an event producer whose Fortune 500-honed planning and management background complements her warmth and creativity. Lisa utilizes her passion for travel and appreciation of different cultures to produce events in locations throughout the world. She is a frequently featured industry expert on television and in print media. She currently holds a coveted position on Town & Country Weddings Advisory Board and her events are showcased in publications including, Martha Stewart Weddings, InStyle, Angeleno, Riviera, Inside Weddings, People Magazine, Rachael Ray, Town & Country Weddings, Wedding Style Guide, Southern Weddings, C Magazine, Star Magazine, Grace Ormond, Your Wedding Day, and Bride & Bloom Magazine. 

Says Lisa, "I love what I do! Put me in the jungles of Africa, a remote Caribbean island, a hacienda in Mexico, or a charming villa along the Amalfi Coast… and ask me to create. New destinations, new cultures, new design challenges feed my soul. I rarely work in one location more than once and I’m always up for the next adventure.

I’m not interested in mass-producing events. I’ve created a boutique experience for my clients and I’ll always keep it that way. Producing fewer than 10 events a year is my cap, and I always tease potential clients that I’m interviewing them just as much as they’re interviewing me. I’m into maintaining authenticity in each of the locations we work in, and it makes me smile to hear that for such a boutique operation – it’s a bit of a mystery as to how we can produce multi-million dollar events throughout the world. I think I’ll keep it a secret."
