The grand design of these locations provides a dramatic, romantic and rich atmosphere for theatrical, moody weddings. Local vendors including Paisley & Jade and Rent-E-Quip offer vintage furniture and high-quality linens and decor in dark jewel tones that fit the opera aesthetic. “The opera aesthetic is a trend where we can choose our own colors and choose our own vibe.” Ultimately, the opera aesthetic is a chance for couples to make a bold statement, not only for their guests, but in their photography.
