Quinceanera Princess Celebration, What Dress to Wear and What Theme to Use

quinceanera wearing her dress for her princess ballWhat is the Quinceanera celebration? Its the latin equivalent of the cinderella story. Its about a young woman coming of age as she turns 15 years old, all grown up and ready to debut as the princess of her own ball. But not just any ball, like a sweet sixteen, the quinceanera celebration is a unique experience for a teenage girl and celebrated with a special theme.

The young girl made to feel like a princess wears a gorgeous gown, high heel and tiara. Her father places the high heels on her feet and her mother places the. The quinceanera then has a special dance with someone from her court, made up of exactly 15 people.

Start by planning your day for an exciting shopping trip. The most important part to remember though is to make choosing the gown a fun process. This should be as far away from the bratty princess or bridezilla experience as possible. Let someone with a great sense of fashion accompany you. They must be able to give constructive criticism about whatever dresses you like. Visit many stores and try on various dresses. And remember to stick to your budget. Whatever you can afford for the celebration, buy within that price range. If you can go over your budget, by all means do. She turns 15 once. There are quite a few gowns approprate for the princesses celebration.  White or pastel colored gowns are very appropriate, but the princess may choose another shade if she desires. It is her party so she should enjoy the experience of picking out the gown and trying as many colors as possible.

Here are Possible Details for the Theme

 The key to having a great theme is having a great master of ceremonies for the celebration. He or she will coordinate the entertainment schedule and make sure every guest have a great time dancing and singing. Music is a big part of latin culture and the quinceanera celebration is a great example of that. Your Dj can make or break the celebration so choose carefully when selecting that person.

  • Throw in a few  fairy tale type party favors to match the theme. Scented candles in the shape of a castle or princess gown, silver plated bells, and a card holder shaped like a tiara would do.
     
  • Customize some favors perhaps with  a personalized ribbon, mini candles of various colors with pressed flower or ribbons, exotic chocolate in a decorated royal blue or red colored gift box, or special shoes customized with the princesses name.
     
  • If you want to go green and ecofriendly you could probably give garden gel candles, place cards made from recycled paper or hibiscus favors boxes.

It's a young girl's quinceanera, she celebrates it one time only so make it a special and unforgettable princess experince for her.

I live in a Puerto Rican family and we've had two quinceanera parties so far. Let me tell you, we go all out for a quince, even the whole roast pig on a stick as a main course. Quinces are really unforgettable in the latin community.

Do you guys know the locations of quinceanera dress shops in Lindsay, California? My sister is having her quince next month and I need to take her shopping to look at some really nice dresses for her party.

I'm having a hard time trying to decide what to wear to a quinceanera of a close friend of mine. There's so much to choose from but my head is spinning looking at all the great looking dresses in the store. We're boriquas and our quinces are always off the hook so I must definitely represent well with everybody else there. What to do, what to do
