A First Communion has an almost fixed base: the white or ivory the children wear. On top of that, families usually add gold, soft greens or shades inspired by the symbols of the celebration, like wheat and grapes. Here are 12 decorating palettes with their hex codes.
White and gold
The most traditional; gold evokes the chalice and looks lovely on candles and ribbons.
White and olive green
Natural and understated; pairs with olive branches and greenery.
Baby blue and white
Soft and bright; very popular for boys.
Dusty pink and cream
Delicate and elegant; very popular for girls.
Lavender and silver
Calm and a little different; pairs with lilac flowers and wheat stalks.
Beige and natural wood
Rustic style; ideal for celebrations at home or in the countryside.
White and navy blue
More formal; works with sailor suits or navy blazers.
Mint and white
Fresh and cheerful; good for daytime garden parties.
Ivory, sage and gold
Blends the natural feel of green with the solemn touch of gold.
Wheat and white
Inspired by wheat stalks, one of the symbols of the Eucharist.
Pink and pearl gray
Soft and modern; the gray balances the pink.
Soft terracotta and cream
Warm and current; looks great with dried flowers and pampas grass.

Start from white
Since the children usually wear white or ivory, the decor should use white or cream as its base. Choose one or two soft supporting colors and save the boldest one for small details.
Use the symbols
Wheat stalks, grapes, chalices, doves and candles are common decorating elements. Their natural colors, like the gold of wheat or the green of leaves, give you a cohesive palette with no effort.
Keep the mood calm
It's a religious celebration, so very saturated colors or neon usually don't fit. If your child wants a favorite color, include a soft version of it, like baby blue instead of electric blue.
