We has displayed some party color motifs / color schemes we have come up with based on pink and red hues. Remember that in choosing a color scheme, choose only one primary color – the other colors will be for support and accent.
For instance, your gown can be made in light pink, then you can accent it with a darker shade of pink or whatever combination you want. Don’t place all the colors equally, especially if it won’t look pleasing to the eye. Seek some help from friends and family who have an eye for design.
Don’t forget to print out the colors you like if you are going out to look for materials. Most colors and shades have no name, except for HEX color codes, which can be understood by your Adobe Photoshop.
The following images have the codes on each color (look for the one with 6 digits/letters. Look for this HEX code in the color palette of Adobe Photoshop. You can also adjust such certain color if you please. Then, print it out for your reference.

What color motif would be suited for beach themed party?:) Thank you. Hope you answer back:D
Hi trixy,
Summer colors of aquamarine and sand hues that remind us of the sea and the sky and the sand would be perfect for a beach theme.

Remember the Aquamarine movie with Sarah Paxton. She just was so lovely with the color aquamarine.

hi. would a pool party in november be advisable? we want something laid back, not much of the traditional stuff. and could you suggest a budget friendly caterer here in qc. Thanks!
What kind of Color would best fit in a Vintage themed party? I’m thinking about turquoise as the Base color. TI hope you could help me Thanks!
Hi Rejina,
When I think of Vintage, i think of black and white movies, so a black and white party can be a nice twist to your vintage theme. Also, vintage reminds me of old letters and postcards which brings me to my next color palette which is more earthy colors of cream, antique white, peach, pale aquamarine, pale mints, rust orange and chocolate brown, and yes turquoise is also vintage for me because it reminds me of gemstones that may be heirlooms. I think turquoise with accents of peach, rust orange or chocolate brown are great color combinations. Hope this helps.
helo. do u think rainbow motif will fit in a butterfly theme? ๐ thanks.. may debu is on upcoming may.
i want a souvenir that is useful and cool. ๐ can u help me? thanks,
Hi Hany,
Yes a rainbow motif would definitely fit a butterfly theme. Put rainbow colored drapes at the center of your stage right at the top of your debutante’s chair for a magical effect.

For souvenirs, give away multicolored pens, rainbow keychains and charm cellphone holders, plants, flowers, colorful baskets with pastries, can with multicolored M&Ms or skittles, seeds for planting, preserved butterfly paperweights, just to name a few. Hope this helps and happy birthday.
Hi Joanne,
A pool party is good anytime of the year, it really depends on how you’re going to use the pool to your advantage. Sometimes, debutantes who have the privilege of having a pool in their venue don’t like to use the swimming pool, but we still advise them to go with it because they can still decorate it beautifully. Debutants who don’t want to use the swimming pool just fill it up with balloons and flowers, or sometimes they have some big floating candles moving around for an elegant touch. Here is our list of caterers you may want to call =) http://debutideas.com/?page_id=798
Happy Planning! ๐
For Old hollywood theme what color theme should my friends wear in my debut party?
Hope u answer back!
hi ana,
it’s really up to them as long as the style of their outfits fit the Old Hollywood description ๐
hi debut ideas ๐
i am khei.
what will be the perfect color for masquerade party ?
i want yellow and black for my gown. is it okay if i choose yellow and black for masquerade ball theme ? tnx ๐
Hi Khei,
Masquerade parties usually have bold colors like RED and BLUE. You can make Yellow as your main color motif, but add other bold colors too because just Yellow will be too boring. However, maybe you can still stick with a yellow and black color motif and just let the masks carry the different bolder colors that will make your Photo ops more lively and interesting! ๐

hi, do you think royal blue and silver is perfect for my debut? I want something different and elegant. Is it okay? or can you suggest some color combinations for a simple dinner dance party?
thanks. ๐
Hi Hedwig,
Outfits can range from Bohemian to beach outfit (white shirt, etc. The men can wear light colored pants and long sleeved polos. Women can wear long colorful bohemian skirts and tank tops. Basically when you say reggae, it speaks much of the beach! When you have a reggae party, make sure to include the important elements like the tri-color (red yellow and green) and of course the reggae music.
Hey there debutideas! I’m just wondering, is it advisable to have a Katy Perry themed debut? If so, what would my guests wear? And what will I replace my 18 candles/roses etc with? Thanks and I hope you reply. Another thing pala, if I’m doing my own invitations, how much would my materials cost? Kahit estimated lang. Thanks and more power!
Hi Kaitlyn,
If a Katy Perry themed debut party is what you really want, then go for it! Katy Perry has a nice and naughty personality so that’s like a contrast of black and pink. You can pattern your theme on one of her songs. The California Gurls for instance displays candies and sweets and ice cream! You can use that as a basis for your Katy Perry themed birthday. You can tell your guests to wear metallic colored outfits plus a pink or white or blond or blue wig if they can. You can use 18 Sweets to replace your 18 candles in which your friends will give you a certain sweet food that they think describes you.
About the materials for invitation, P500 for the papers + 150 for materials (glue, glitters, ribbons) + 1000 for your ink so that’s around P1,650. Just an estimate ๐
Hope this helps!
hi debut ideas ๐
i have read some of your suggestions and came up with a reggae-beach themed debut at la vista pansol. i dont know how venue would look like, the invitation, the attire of the guests and the debutant as well. i really have no idea on how to celebrate a CHEAP YET UNFORGETTABLE debut.
Hi Czarina,
Dreadlocks, red green and yellow, knit hats, loose khakis, white loose poloshirts, bohemian dresses, long skirts, long beaded necklaces, tank tops — these outfits describe the freedom-loving Rastafarians! Don’t forget of course Ska and Reggae music that should be played throughout the party. If you want a memorable one, allow for more audience participation. Organize some games that will allow you and your friends to have fun and let your hair down. Basically a reggae themed party is like a beach party (venue-wise). Hope this helps!
Hi Nikki,
We think that’s a lovely color! Blue is regal and silver makes it even more elegant ๐
We have some articles in this site that talks about some color schemes. Maybe they can help in case you change your mind.
Hope this helps!
hi, i’m having an old hollywood theme-d debut and i would like to see your suggestions on what to replace the 18 candles/roses/treasures with ๐
