WHERE TO SHOP FOR YOUR 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
s City
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.
TIPS FOR SHOPPING ONLINE FOR YOUR QUINCEAÑERA DRESS. • Buy from an authorized retailer. Most brands provide clients a list of their authorized retailers. Look for it when shopping online. Not doing so may set you up for buying a counterfeit gown. • Pay close attention to the advertised price of a designer dress. If you see a strikingly low price on a website, it may be a counterfeit. • Do your research. Find out as much information as you can about the seller’s reputation. • Call the seller. Speak with a person over the phone and ask questions about the dress specifics and their ordering/shipping process. This will help you determine whether the business is legitimate. • Read the seller’s return and cancellation policies. Also look into any customer reviews and feedback. • Does the online seller have a physical store? If it does (and if possible), visit the shop with your parents to meet the seller in person.

One of the moments that your guests will look forward to the most on the day of your Quince is your vals and baile sorpresa. All eyes will be on you during those specific moments and although you may or may not be nervous about performing in front of all your guests, it’ll probably be one of the memorable moments of your quince.
BAILE SORPRESA
In the next few pages you’ll find tips for the dances required for your quince, and information on why you should hire a professional choreographer to guide you through this process.
The baile sorpresa should follow the group vals. If you need to change into a different outfit from one dance to another, you should not take so long that your guests become unsettled. Coordinate with your DJ/MC to have him/her entertain your guests while you’re changing. The baile sorpresa is your opportunity to get creative with the music, choreography and costumes. Is there a particular genre of music you would like to use? Perhaps there’s a song that you would love to dance to? These are things you can consider when selecting the song(s). YOUR CHOREOGRAPHER Hire a dance professional with experience. This person can make sure that everyone on your quinceañera court (regardless of dance experience) will look great on the dance floor. They can also customize and edit your music to your requests and will keep the members of your court focused and on track during the practices.

6 REASONS why you need a choreographer:
2 They can teach your corte de honor how to dance 3 They can keep your group organized 4 They can teach you various forms of dancing 5 They can provide the music to you and your DJ 6 They can help you with props and costume ideas
The budget is a financial plan to stay with in the price range that your parents can afford. The initial budget number is a starting point for your parents to begin making financial arrangements.
• Fewer guests means more funds to use towards decorations and party gifts
Before you get ahead of yourself by looking up places for your reception, dresses and photographers, you and your parents should really sit down and talk about a planned budget. A budget is a planned amount of money that can be spent on your party. It could be that your parents have been saving for this day since you were 10 years old, or they just recently decided to start putting money aside. Remember that all Quinceañeras come in different sizes and budgets. Use the following Quinceañera spreadsheet as a tool to breakdown your budget and manage deposits

We were so grateful to be able to hold our June 14, 2015 Miss Cover Girl Pageant at the Sterling Hotel in Dallas. In attendance, to watch our Miss Cover Girl take the crown, was a very special guest, our very own State Representative Roberto Alonzo. We are also very grateful to acknowledge the services of our volunteer judges: Ms. Sylvana Avila Alonzo, owner at Websites y Mas, Mr. Eliseo Alarcon, local photographer at Alarcon Studios, and Ms. Martha Gutierrez, owner of Martha’s Bridal. Our girls had a great season and participated in the Cinco de Mayo parade, put on by Oak Cliff Coalition for the Arts, where they took home 3rd place for Best Handcrafted float. We hope more girls enter next time and join us for the fun! Lina Lopez

MUSIC The music of your quince will set the mood for the entire party. Considering that your quince has different elements, you’ll need to vary the music from background to transitional to dance music. The three most common forms of musical entertainment for your party are: DJ, banda/live band or mariachi. You may prefer one over the other or, if your budget allows, you may even have two or three of them at your quince. The most important element in selecting your music is to hire someone that knows how to entertain a crowd and deal with last-minute changes. It is their responsibility to keep people dancing and engaged throughout the entire party. QUESTION TO ASK YOUR DJ.
If hiring a mariachi, make sure to: clarify the number of hours they’re expected to perform, approve the wardrobe they’ll be wearing, know the exact number of members in the group, provide them with a list of songs to play during specific moments of the party. You should also give them a list of songs to avoid.
Do you bring your own sound system equipment? How many hours of playing time are included in the contract? Can I review your playlists? Can I request certain songs? How many people are in your team? Do you play a variety of music? What genre is your specialty? Can you only play G-rated versions of the music? Do you have music that adapts to each moment of the quince?
If hiring a live band and a mariachi, make sure not to book both of them for the same hours. If you do, you’ll be paying for one of them to just wait on the side until the other is done playing.
It takes more than pressing play to really engage a quinceañera crowd. Among other qualities, your DJ needs to have a fun personality and the ability to quickly adapt to last-minute changes. When meeting with a prospective DJ, ask the following questions to determine if he/she is a good fit for your party:
BANDA/ GRUPO People love live performances and tend to get very excited when they see a banda or band set up on stage. Before choosing your live performance, ask for a demo, video footage or recommendations from friends. The only disadvantage to having a banda is that they only play their musical genre. But if banda is what you love, then you shouldn’t have a problem with that! MARIACHi: Mariachi music is the most traditional music performed during a quinceañera. It is a beautiful idea to have your guests serenated by them during the dinner and to also have them perform the song to your father daughter dance.
Music is one of the most important aspects of your party. And although there’s no way you can possibly fulfill all of your guests’ musical requests, you can make sure that you and your parents’ expectations are met. Together with your parents, create a list of songs you want to hear at the party. Then, create a list of songs you definitely don’t want to be played at your Quince. This way, you’ll both be sharing the experience of having music that you approve.

Flower POWER
Flowers are used to share various emotions. We
use them to show admiration, love and even regret. The power behind flowers is so strong that they’re able to express a true sentiment without you having to say a word. In the role of your Quinceañera, they can also be used to set the tone. Depending on the type of flower you choose and the way you select to have them displayed, they can either create a romantic, modern, and/or classic ambiance to your celebration. You can use them in your ceremony and in your reception decorations. And you’ll definitely use them in your natural Quinceañera bouquet, in your damas corsages and in your chambelanes boutonnieres.

Your quinceañera flowers should hold a special meaning to you. They should make you smile the minute you see them and in the future when you come across them, they should remind you of your special celebration.

DO’S AND DON’T OF FLOWERS
DO have more than one type of flower. DO have more than one color. DO decorate some tables with flowers and some with other décor. DO pick colors that give nice contrast to your dress. DO communicate and share ideas with your florist. DO use fresh, natural flower.
DON’T match your dress to your flowers. DON’T limit yourself to the cliché rose. DON’T be afraid of color. DON’T pick flowers that are hard to get a hold of/ out of season. DON’T rule out fake flowers as a budget alternative.
