Thank you for sharing Wicked Bucks Parties…
What’s not to love about a wedding? No matter how you choose to celebrate this monumental milestone in life, it’s an opportunity to come together with your loved ones, reflect on your journey so far and look forward to the exciting new chapters to come.
For the bride-to-be, there’s an endless list of possibilities when it comes to planning a wedding. From your dress, hair and make-up to the table décor, invite list and seating arrangement, you’ve got a world of freedom to express yourself! While the wedding itself is undoubtedly the star of the show, the hen’s party is just as exciting to look forward to.
Similarly to the wedding, there are literally thousands of different ways you can celebrate your hen’s party, all depending on your style, budget and vision. Our friends over at Wicked Hens have helped put together celebrations for women across the globe for years so they’ve seen just about every option tried and tested.
We caught up with them recently to hear about some of their favourite hen’s party ideas, and the one we kept coming back to was a high tea. There is so much to love about getting dolled up in a fancy outfit, eating tiny cakes and sandwiches, sipping tea and pretending for a few hours that you’re actually super sophisticated.
Whether you’re organising your own party or putting on a celebration for your best friend, you can’t go wrong with an afternoon of free-flowing drinks and finger-licking pastries. For those hosting in Perth, you’re absolutely spoiled for choice too! The city has home to an incredible range of high tea options so Wicked Hens wrapped up their top 5 picks for you.
Read on to discover the top 5 high teas in Perth.
Top 5 High Teas in Perth
1. La Vie Champagne Lounge – Burswood
Ditch your weekend platter and say goodbye to a DIY picnic at home, because La Vie Champagne Lounge is about to blow your mind with its decadent four-tiered high cheese tower. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to work your way through tiny sweet and savoury fromage-filled bites, including the likes of baked camembert, brie layered with fine herbs, goat’s cheese, cannolis, and so much more.
As you’re likely to work up a thirst from the impeccable spread, you can wash it down with a champagne tasting flight too. Tempt your senses with a taste of Chandon Brut, Ruinart Blanc de Blanc, Moet & Chandon Imperial Rose, and Veuve Clicquot Rich. Each flute is hand-picked to perfectly pair with your spread of nibbles and will take your experience to the next level. From the moment your bride-to-be walks in, she’ll feel like absolute royalty – which is exactly what she deserves!
2. Cape Arid Rooms – Perth
A beautiful bride-to-be calls for a beautiful afternoon tea, and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Cape Arid Rooms inside the inspiring walls of the COMO The Treasury Hotel. The space itself features interconnected rooms with high ceilings, timber-shuttered windows and walls adorned with eye-watching watercolour and ink painting. In other words, it’s absolutely beautiful.
Like the artwork that adorns these walls, the afternoon tea served here is inspired by Australia’s natural abundance. The seasonally rotating menu shines a light on the finest local producers and ingredients from across the region. You can also pair your bite-sized sandwiches, gourmet meats and delicate pastries with the masterful selection of teas on offer. For an experience that truly thinks through every detail, Cape Arid Rooms in Perth is simply unmissable.
3. Bar Uma – Perth
It’s hard to argue with anyone that says Bar Uma services the best high tea in Perth. From beginning until end, it’s an experience almost too good to be real – with food too good-looking to eat. Take your pick from a selection of options, including free-flowing Dilmah tea, percolated coffee, Australian sparkling wine, or even Champagne Tattinger.
With the beverage of your choice in hand, you can then feast on the inspiring array of delicious foods. According to the Wicked Hens team, the delectable sweet and savoury petit fours really elevate the experience too. There’s also a range of different packages on offer so you’re bound to find one that ticks all your boxes.
4. Haven Lounge at the Westin – Perth CBD
While Haven Lounge at The Westin is constantly evolving its high tea menu, each one is just as good as the last – if not better! This is the place to go if you want to treat the woman of the hour to something a little different such as high beer, high coffee or their extremely popular truffle high tea.
When your tiered serving platter is brought out and presented to the table, you can treat yourself to fun-sized bites that look every bit as good as they taste. Wicked Hens would go as far as saying they’re probably the most Instagrammable delights you’ll ever see! When you combined that with the beautiful décor at the Haven Lounge, you’re guaranteed to get the perfect snap for your social networks.
5. Hearth at the Ritz – Carlton
And last but most certainly not least, we have Hearth at the Ritz. Sitting pretty at the base of the Ritz-Carlton, this is where you’ll find the finest sweet and savoury treats created with the freshest produce WA has to offer.
Sit back and enjoy the picturesque riverside views while you indulge in fluffy scones, dainty madeleines, lamingtons, tarts and so much more. They also dish up a seriously impressive Christmas themed high tea every year, which is perfect for any lovely ladies tying the knot over the summer.
