The Concept — Old Meets New
Inspired by the elegance and fashion of France over 200 years ago, this design reimagines historical influence through a modern, contemporary lens. Ornate detailing, romantic tones, and classical structure were referenced and then refined. Not replicated, but translated.
The result is a balance between past and present.
Where traditional European influence meets clean lines, controlled styling, and a more considered approach to space. Because true design is not about recreating what once was.
It is about understanding it deeply enough to evolve it.
The Location
The Westin Perth
There are venues that simply hold an event, and then there are venues that shape it. The Westin Perth sits confidently in the latter.
Defined by clean architectural lines and a refined, contemporary aesthetic, the space offers a foundation that doesn’t compete with design, it elevates it. High ceilings, considered lighting, and an understated palette allow every element layered into the room to feel intentional rather than excessive.
What makes this venue stand apart is its balance. Modern in structure, yet warm in atmosphere. Polished, without feeling rigid. Elevated, without needing to be overworked.
From ceremony through to reception, the flow within the venue allows for a seamless transition of experience. Guests move through the space, not just physically, but emotionally, with each environment shifting in tone and energy.
This is where the venue becomes more than a location. It becomes part of the design language itself.
For those seeking a wedding at The Westin Perth, the opportunity is not simply to style a room, but to transform a space into something that feels entirely considered, immersive, and distinctly yours.
The Ceremony
A ceremony sets the tone.
At The Westin Perth, the space offers a clean, refined foundation where nothing competes with the moment. Soft natural light, architectural lines, and a neutral palette allow every detail to feel intentional rather than excessive.
For Old Meets New, the ceremony introduces the balance of tradition and modernity. Subtle symmetry, softened textures, and restrained styling create a setting that feels elevated yet effortless.
Guests don’t walk into decoration.
They walk into atmosphere.
And from the very beginning, the experience is felt.
Preferred Wedding Planner at The Westin Perth
A refined event is never the result of one element. It is the result of the right people, working in alignment.
As the preferred wedding planner at The Westin Perth, we work closely with a trusted network of suppliers who understand both the venue and the level of detail required to deliver a seamless, considered experience.
This is not about simply selecting vendors.
It is about curating a team.
Each supplier is chosen for their ability to:
- Work within the architecture of the space
- Deliver with precision and consistency
- Contribute to the overall design, not compete with it
Because when every element is aligned from florals to lighting, styling to service the result is effortless.
The benefit of working with an established team within The Westin Perth is clarity.
Clear communication. Clear expectations. A shared standard.
This allows every wedding to move beyond coordination and into something far more considered.
For our clients, it means less stress, more trust, and a result that feels cohesive from beginning to end.
The Professionals
A concept like this is never created in isolation. It is the result of a team who understand not just their role, but how it contributes to the whole.
Working within The Westin Perth, each element was delivered by a carefully selected group of creatives and suppliers, chosen for their ability to execute with precision and intention.
From the capture of the day through to the final details layered into the space, every contribution was considered.

The Atmosphere
The intention was never just to create something beautiful. It was to create something that could be felt.
From the moment guests enter, the atmosphere is calm, considered, and quietly immersive. Soft lighting, layered textures, and a refined palette work together to shift the space from structured to intimate.
There is a sense of balance throughout. Nothing feels overworked. Nothing feels missing.
For Old Meets New, the feeling sits between tradition and modernity. A subtle nod to the past through softness and detail, grounded by a clean, contemporary approach to space and composition. The result is an environment that feels warm, elevated, and effortless.
Not overwhelming.
Not expected.
Just enough to draw you in and hold you there.
Stepping Beyond the Expected
This concept was never about following what is typically done.
It was about moving beyond it.
In an industry where repetition can feel safe, stepping outside the norm requires intention. A willingness to question what is expected and refine it into something more considered.
For Old Meets New, that meant letting go of over-styling and leaning into restraint. Allowing the space, the light, and the structure to lead, rather than forcing design into it.
The result is not something unfamiliar, but something redefined. A shift in how a wedding can feel.
More intentional. More refined. More aligned.
