TUXEDO TALK A tuxedo is the most elegant and formal attire that a male of any age can wear. The right tux can make any guy look and feel like a million bucks. Although on the day of your Quince the main focus will not be on your chambelanes and their tuxedos, it is still important for them to be dressed their best. There are various factors that go into choosing a tuxedo, such as: the style, fit, color and cost. You should also consider wither the style of the tux fits your Quince them. For example, if your theme were a 1920’s-inspired “roaring twenties” party, then a pinstripe tux with a vest and tie would fit nicely. But if you’re having a princess-themed celebration, perhaps a tuxedo with a full dress tailcoat is more appropriate.
The Complete Tuxedo Look The most popular is the classic cut, which gives a fuller fit and accommodates people of all sizes. You may also want to consider the modern and slim cuts. Both styles are trimmer than the classic cut, with the slim option being the most fittest of them all. The button-down shirt should be crisp white and wrinkle-free. White is the best option for the shirt because it shows formality and gives the suit a great contrast. The Vest is what adds color and different texture to the suit. You can incorporate your quince colors into the tuxedo by having the vest, cummerbund and bowtie match your color theme. The accessories are the final touch on the tuxedo. The most popular accessories are suspenders, cufflinks, a boutonniere, dress shoes and a pocket square..

THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE to you in terms of what you’ll ride in on the day of your quince. A limo, party bus, classic car and carriage are among the most popular. It is recommended that your transportation fit your party theme—but not required. When shopping for the perfect rental, make sure you’re dealing with licensed professionals and that they have all the necessary licenses required under the state they operate in.
questions to ask the limo company: What are your rates per event or hour? What kind of cars do you have available for Quinceañeras?
What’s the capacity of your largest car? Do you offer a special package for Quinceañera? Is there a minimum of hours required? What is the cost for additional hours? Are there refreshments included? How much is required for the deposit? Are there any additional cost? What is the suggested tip for the driver? How will the driver be dressed? What happens if the limo is not on time? Do you have passengers insurance? Do you require an adult to ride 22 QM

“Here’s a list of days for you to think twice about”
Prepare yourself:
Now that you have a general idea of what your vision is, what you would like and who you would like to work with, it’s time to prepare yourself mentally. As mentioned earlier that the planning of your quince was going to be an emotional roller coaster with ups and downs, yet still an adventure. It will get to a point where that’s all that anyone is talking about and all that you’re thinking about. Throughout this pages there will be tips on how to stay stress free. However, being stressed out, overwhelmed and tired are not reasons throw tantrums or be disrespectful to anyone. Celebrating this new chapter in your life comes with the privilege of having a party but also with the expectation that you carry yourself in a lady-like way. All eyes are on you, and you never know whose watching, who’s looking up to you or how much work behind the scenes is taking place to make this day extra special. Be kind. Be prepared.
, y a ad
Pick y: a d y an
The date you choose should be a day that all of your guests can attend or make arrangements in advance if they’re planning on traveling from out of state or country. Don’t get so caught up in the planning that you accidently schedule it on a National Holiday or other event. You want to be considerate of other people’s beliefs and special days.

The Quinceañera dress is perhaps one of the most important traditions, very distinguishable and somehow everything ties back to the dress, the center of it all. The silhouette is standard ball gown princess style, but the necklines and sleeves are up to whatever you feel comfortable with. Traditionally the quince dress was white, to stand for purity, as the years progressed, there were colored pastel designs added to it and now it has progressed in to any and every color under the sun! It can have bling, embellishments, glitter, lace or even multiple colors and prints. Although there are many trends and prints that come and go, it’s important to remember that you don’t want to look back in 15 years and say what was I thinking?! Sometimes less is more and it’s all about the fit of the dress that makes it extra beautiful no matter how simple it is.

WHERE TO BUY YOUR QUINCE DRESS There are stores that specialize in Quinceañera dresses and others that have a combination of wedding, Quinceañera and special event gowns. Here are the most popular places where you just might find your perfect dress.
LOCAL BOUTIQUE:
Most dress stores have many gowns in stock for you to try. They also have catalogs of dresses from where you can order. Many boutiques have in-store seamstresses that can tailor-make a gown specifically to your liking. If this is something you choose to do, you be involved in the entire dressmaking process, from selecting the fabric to the style and embellishments. The advantage of getting your dress made at a local boutique is that it’s convenient for you to communicate with the designer directly. WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO BUY YOUR DRESS AT A LOCAL BOUTIQUE .
OTHER ALTERNATIVES: SEAMSTRESS: Many skilled seamstresses create quince gowns from the comfort of their own home. Since they don’t have to worry about the overhead costs of running a shop, their prices are typically lower than if you were buying a dress elsewhere. DESIGNER: If you want a popular designer to create a custom gown for you, you need to research their prices. You should know that this type of quince dress is the most expensive and that it might take longer to receive once ordered—depending on the popularity of the designer. RENT A DRESS: There’s absolutely nothing wrong with borrowing a dress from a friend or family member. If they happen to have a dress that you absolutely love and that happens to fit you, or if you really don’t want to make a fuss over your dress, then perhaps this is the best option for you.
DRESS TALK:
The most common terms used to describe a Quinceañera gown. CORSET: the top piece of the dress used to create a smooth silhouette. APLICATIONS: patches of intricate details that can be sewn into your dress . BOLERO: a cropped, cardigan-like garment with short or long sleeves. SWEETHEART NECKLINE: a neckline that is shaped like the top of a stylized heart. HALTER TOP: a strap extended from
CHIFFON: a fabric made from cotton, silk or synthetic fiber. ORGANZA: a thin, sheer fabric traditionally made from silk. SHANTUNG: fabric made of silk. TAFETA: considered a high-end fabric, suitable for used in ball the bodice of a sleeveless dress that is gowns such as then fastened or held behind at the neck, Quinceañera leaving the shoulders and back bare. dresses. STRAPLESS DRESS: a dress that stays put around the upper body without shoulder straps.
ONLINE:
Shopping online is a relatively new way of finding a quince dress. When you browse a trusted site you have access to view every color and style by various designers, which are way more dresses that you can see at a local boutique. You can even view and order dresses from another country. You should have your measurements professionally taken before you purchase a dress online. This will eliminate the guessing work into filling out your dress size.
Mass-Market Chains: Much like shopping online where you have a huge selection of dresses to view, mass-market chains also have large inventories of dresses. Every season they host sales events to make room for new inventory, which means big savings for you. online is having to guess your size, wait for it to be shipped and risk the idea of not liking it.

a Cake
Your quinceanera cake is more than just a dessert after dinner The cake can be creative, have various layers, different flavors, match your theme and also be an accessory. The baked good consists of the cake itself, icing, filling and decoration. You don’t have to limit yourself to one flavor of cake, we recommend you first choose your favorite, a family favorite or ask the baker which is his most popular and the third flavor, if you choose can be your next favorite flavor or the baker’s specialty. On the other hand, if you just want three layers of chocolate cake, go for it!

There are a ton of different ideas and ways to decorate a cake, maybe you want it to have a special shape, a different theme, special font or even cupcakes! Just like you’ve been cutting pictures of dresses and flowers, you can do the same with your cake and have something to show when you visit bakers. Don’t limit yourself to those designs though, maybe they have some ideas or pictures of previous parties and you two can combine ideas and create the
What plates and silver ware will you use? Will they deliver it? Where will it be placed to be seen but not knocked over? How much is the deposit? When does it have to be paid by? Will you have a cake tasting?

SECRETS TO PLAN A QUINCE ON A BUDGET 1. Start preparing your Quinceañera in advance: It’s never too early to start planning your Quince party! The suggested time for planning is 9-12 months prior, but it doesn’t hurt starting even sooner than that. This way you will be able to have a Quinceañera on a budget by getting your funds in order and having time enough to plan for unexpected expenses. 2. Set a realistic budget: Finding the balance between your dream Quince celebration and how much your family can really afford is essential. Is there a significant difference between what you want to spend and what you can actually afford? If so, brainstorm a plan to raise money—you can have craft sales or offer babysitting, pet sitting or writing services to earn extra cash. 3. Make a list of EVERYTHING you will need: Create a list with everything required: dress, venue, hair, makeup, music, etc. Download a free digital Quinceañera Planner to keep you organized so you don’t miss anything important. 5. Ask your friends and family for help: Ask friends and family to help with preparing food and decorating, so you don’t have to hire as many people. Do you have a relative or close friend who is very crafty or good with makeup? Ask them for help so you can save on decorations or skip an appointment with the salon. You can also ask them to finance some of your expenses by buying a gift card, like this Sephora gift card to save on your makeup. Another good way to save is by asking around to see if anyone has a big backyard where you can celebrate the party. You’ll be surprised at how much help you can get if you only ask! 6. Padrinos wanted: Your Padrinos can contribute with money to pay for some of the party costs. If you want them to sponsor your Quince, take into account if your family has a close relationship with them, if they are reliable and if they are able to contribute financially. If the answer to the three questions is yes, go ahead and ask for their contribution.

7. Go DIY as much as you can: There’s a lot of stuff you can do yourself that can save you some serious cash! From invitations to decor or party favors, you can save when you put your crafty skills to work. 8. Always keep in mind that being with your loved ones is what really matters: Spending tons of cash does not necessarily make for the best Quinceañera. A party on a tight budget can be as amazing and memorable as an expensive one. Don’t forget that sharing your special day with family and friends is the most important element of a Quince celebration. Avoid Saturdays: Rent a venue for less on Friday or Sunday, or try a weekday for the best deal. Look for all-inclusive venues: When looking for a reception hall, prioritize those that include more elements in the final price. If they provide linens, candles or any other decoration, that’s something you can cross off your spending list. Save even more by asking family members with big backyards to host your Quinceañera party—with a bit of decoration, it can be as good as any venue. Reduce the number of guests: More guests means more spending. Send online invitations: Save money on paper and postage by sending invites through internet. Rent decorations or DIY: Instead of buying expensive decorations, rent from a vendor or, even better, make your own. Serve a buffet instead of a sit-down meal: Cut down on expenses by having a buffet filled with appetizers and finger food. Substitute cake for personalized cupcakes: Quince cakes today can cost hundreds of dollars. Skip the cakes and buy cupcakes in bulk for lower prices. Create a playlist for your party: Music is definitely a must at a Quince party. Hiring a DJ is expensive—try making your own playlist instead! Turn your friends into photographers: Assign some friends the task of taking pictures, especially of important events like the Quinceañera entrance, the father-daughter dance and the group shots.

Como preparar tu piel de Quinceañera para tu photoshoot By Gabriella Cataño
La sesión de fotos más importante para ti se acerca y la fiesta también. Te voy a dar unos consejos de belleza que seran clave para que tu piel se vea hermosa.
Aproximadamente de tres a cuatro semanas antes de tu sesión de fotos, haz el esfuerzo de no comer comida chatarra, comida frita, comida rápida y trata de evitar los productos lácteos. Sabemos que sera un gran sacrificio pero valdrá la pena, creanme. También debes tomar 8 vasos de agua al día. Haciendo esto, vas a mantener tú piel hidratada y vas a eliminar toxinas. Es muy posible que te ayudará a disminuir cualquier problema de acne o de resequedad. Ademas, al tomar ocho vasos de agua al dia, ayudaras a que tu maquillaje dure todo el dia durante la sesión de fotos y durante tu gran fiesta también.

Chicas también es muy importante que úsen protector solar a diario. Aunque seamos jovencitas el tomar sol sin protección deshidrata la piel y acentúa cualquier manchita que tengas de acné. El dia de tu sesión de fotos asegúrate que tu maquillista te aplique un hidratante antes de aplicar el maquillaje. Yo soy maquillista profesional y me gusta mucho el humectante de marca Tatcha “water cream” para piel grasosa. Para chicas con piel reseca, básicamente cualquier humectante sin alcohol o ácido. Me encantaría maquillarte para tu sesión de fotos o para tu Quinceañera. Para mas consejos de belleza sigueme en mis redes sociales: YouTube @catanoglam Instagram @catanoglam
