The Old Wild West Saloon Sweet Fifteen Theme


You might think this theme is a bit hard to pull off but it doesn't have to be. Choose a color palette that uses deep greens, burgundy, browns and metals (gold, silver, and brass). You can decorate with peacock feathers, cacti, barnwood, cattle and horse motifs. For your dress you have to wear a corset style. For kicks find a cute pair of lace up Victorian-esque boots. As party goodies you could hand out feather boas and cowboy hats to your guests.

The Pantone Color of the Year 2015 Marsala Sweet Fifteen Quinceanera Theme


Marsala as the Pantone color of the year has received mixed reactions. Compared to previous years picks, like radiant orchid and tangerine tango, marsala seems rather dull. It's up to you to make it shine. For this theme I've combined it with gold and white. Based on the dress I found above that most closely matched Marsala, in my opinion.

It has a white filigree-esque design on the bodice so I thought it would be pretty to use that in the decor. It's easier to look for decorations in burgundy than marsala so when in doubt do that. Basically use different shades of it, make it all more interesting. Gold can be combined with taupe too. Taupe and marsala actually look really nice together also. Anyway as long as you go with a classic elegant look (think floral arrangements and candelabras), you can't go wrong.

The Great Gatsby / Roaring 20s Sweet Fifteen Theme


Do you want to party like Jay Gatsby? With theme you sure do. It's a ritzy affair, what you'll be having. There will be feathers and sparkle and fringe, everywhere. Use metallics and reds and make it fancy and modern with Art Deco elements. Tell your guests to dress up 20s. Think flapper dresses and striped suits.
