White Weddings in Perth – How to Create a Timeless Celebration
Vicky RahmicThere’s something eternally elegant about a white wedding.
Crisp, clean, and endlessly versatile, a white-on-white palette sets the tone for a celebration that feels sophisticated, refined, and effortlessly chic. Whether you're envisioning a modern minimalist soirée or a classic fairy tale affair, white weddings remain the gold standard in timeless wedding design.
At Vicky Rahmic Weddings & Events, white weddings are not just a colour palette they’re a design statement and when you’re planning a luxury celebration in Perth, the opportunities to bring this vision to life are endless.
Let’s explore exactly how to create a white wedding that will stand the test of time.
1. Choose the Right Perth Venue for a White Wedding
The magic starts with the setting. In Perth, we’re spoiled for choice with gorgeous venues that complement a white wedding theme.
Here are some favourites:
The Ritz-Carlton Perth – sleek and sophisticated for a modern luxury feel over looking Elizabeth Quay
Caversham House – ornate gardens and a riverside setting, ideal for romantic styling
Private Estates in Swan Valley – for couples wanting exclusivity and elegance
Westin Perth – exquisite dining and neutral interiors to match any palette
The key? Choose a venue with light-filled spaces and clean architectural lines to let your styling shine.
2. Layering Whites for Depth and Texture
A common misconception is that an all-white palette can feel flat. The secret is in layering textures: think silk drapes, matte ceramics, translucent glassware, velvets, glossy dance floors, and flickering candlelight. This creates visual interest without disrupting the colour harmony.
Pro tip: Mix shades like ivory, pearl, alabaster, and soft dove to create dimension. We love pairing creamy florals with crisp white linen and metallic accents (gold or chrome) for contrast.
3. Statement Florals – White but Far from Boring
White weddings are a floral designer’s dream. Imagine clouds of phalaenopsis orchids, reflexed roses, hydrangeas, delphiniums, and tulips. Add height with floral towers or a suspended canopy for that true ‘wow’ factor.
At Vicky Rahmic Weddings, we work with Perth’s best florists to ensure your blooms are styled in a way that feels intentional, elegant, and tailored to your taste.
4. Dress Code: Stylishly White, Without the Stress
Whether you’re going full-white attire for your guests or just a bridal party in coordinated neutrals, the right styling makes a huge impact in photos. Think timeless gowns, white tuxedos, or accents like pearl earrings, satin heels, or white gloves to elevate the dress code.
Need help enforcing the brief without sounding bossy? We’ll guide you on wording that gets results without the drama.
5. Modern Details That Still Feel Classic
Here’s where luxury meets timelessness:
Custom monogrammed invitations in white-on-white emboss
Mirror or acrylic signage with soft white calligraphy
White velvet or satin napkins with wax-sealed menus
Signature white cocktails or champagne towers for that chic toast moment
Add subtle surprises throughout the day that align with your all-white theme from the bridal suite robes to the bonbonnière packaging.
6. Lighting is Everything
To bring a white wedding to life after dark, lighting is key. Use warm white fairy lights, flickering candles, or pin-spot lighting to enhance focal areas like the cake, florals, or dance floor. A cold LED can flatten everything but warm lighting adds depth, glow, and romance.
