Are you ready to feel like a princess?
From the earliest days of the Quinceañera, there's been a special understanding among friends, family, and even the quince anos girls' whole community. On her fifteenth birthday, the Quinceañera girl is a princess.
Back then, young girls often became engaged to be married as young as fourteen or fifteen. Celebrating her princess status was a way to show she was old enough to become a wife. In modern times, however, things have changed. A Quinceañera celebrates a young girl becoming a young woman, and shows her community she's reached a new level of maturity. And marriage can come later!
Maybe you've been dreaming about your quince celebration sine you were a young girl, and saw yourself as a princess for the celebration. The "princess" theme is hotter than ever, and there are lots of ways to add its style to your fiesta. Here are some ways to get started.
Choosing Your Gown
Choosing a princess gown might be the easiest thing ever. The latest formal gowns for proms, debutante balls, and other "dress up" occasions pretty much nail the princess style. With lots of soft, shimmering colors, elegant bodices and layered, bouncy skirts, the modern gown is perfectly suited to a princess motif.
You've probably seen these kinds of gowns on shows like MTV's My Super Sweet 16 and in lots of formal and bridal wear magazines. They're available in a variety of price ranges, and they come in just about any color you can imagine.
The Fiesta
The fiesta is a time for everyone to party. As a quince princess, you're the official host and "master of ceremonies" for the occasion.
Your fiesta can follow the Quince princess theme in any number of surprising and charming ways. A literal interpreation would be to recreate a fairy tale kingdom from your quince fiesta venue. This might include castle details, "fantastic" items such as magic wands and suits of armor, and any other detail you can imagine.
The theme could also be extended to something more dramatic, or something with a little more romance. You could be the princess of a great story, like The Lord of the Rings or Eragon series. Your theme could also extend to modern day princesses and heiresses, and revolve around the latest haute couture styles and fashions.
Getting Every Detail Perfect
As the old saying goes, the proof is in the details. Your princess theme will work best when you think of everything possible to get its motif across to your guests. One way to include a subtle reminder - one they can keep - is to base your Quinceañera guest favors around the princess theme. And there are lots of ways to get the princess idea across. From small and charming candles to the most elegant pewter and silver placecard holders, Quinceañera party suppliers understand the style and have put out some wonderful items for you to choose. And since you're a princess, the choice you make will become a royal decree for all your guests. |
