Are you wondering what to do with your Quinceanera dress post party? Here are some tips to help you figure out if using your Quinceanera dress for a Halloween costume is something you want to consider.

Before your Quinceanera is long and gone, you may want to start thinking about what to do with your Quince dress after the celebration. Many girls choose to donate their Quinceanera dress to a non-profit organization that lends these gowns to girls in need. Other Quince girls choose to “trash the dress” and sacrifice it for the sake of artistic photos, and others can’t bare to let go of it and much rather keep it in their closet for safe-keeping.

If none of these ideas have you completely excited, consider refurbishing your Quinceanera dress and using it for a Halloween costume!

With the right makeup, hair and accessories, you’ll be sure to come up with ideas for a Halloween costume that will not only add more life to your Quince dress, but that may even win you a prize in a Halloween costume contest.

Avoid committing the following quinceanera color mistakes at all costs! These tips will help you choose the best color scheme according to your personality and venue.

Mistake #1: Choosing Too Many Colors

Tip: Choose 2-4 colors for your color palette.

Don’t get carried away with your thematic colors because your reception might end up looking like a hot mess. Instead, choose 2-4 colors that look cohesive together. Neutral shades and a pop of color or different shades of the same color are the way to go.

Mistake #2: Strictly Sticking to Two Colors

Sure, you can combine your favorite color with white but it’s soooo overplayed! It’s time to try something different. Stick to a certain shade of your favorite color and add 2-3 neutral shades to the mix. Everyone will love your sense of style!

Mistake #3: Refusing to Use Texture

Polka dots, stripes, chevron, floral print – any of these textured patterns will make all the difference in your decor. Try this: if your color scheme involves a bold color such as coral, consider adding a striped or polka-dotted table runner to complement your centerpieces.

Mistake #4: Not Taking Into Consideration the Colors of the Venue

It’s super important to have your color scheme in mind when you’re choosing your venue! If the walls of the hall are red, then having a mint green and pink color scheme will clash. Use the decor and color palette of the venue to help you choose the right color theme!

Mistake #5: Forcing the Flowers to Match Your Colors

Blue hydrangeas might be expensive and hard to find when out of season.

It might be difficult to find flowers that are the exact colors of your palette. For example, blue flowers are super uncommon. If you do find blue flowers (hydrangeas), be prepared to spend extra especially if they’re out of season. Instead, go with a neutral or complementing color and use a blue vase.

Mistake #6: Using an Unflattering Color for Your Court of Honor Attire

Rule of thumb: Choose the cutest color of your theme for your damas’ dresses. Colors such as yellow and orange look great in decor but may not necessarily be the most flattering color for the dresses. If you want to incorporate that particular color, you may do so in the accessories. When in doubt, go with neutral colors!

Mistake #7: Thinking You HAVE to Choose Seasonal Colors

Just because it’s Christmas, doesn’t mean you have to choose blue and white or red, white, and green. If you have a color palette in mind but think it’s out of season, just go for it! Too risky? Then you can always customize the color to fit the season. For example, hot pink may seem like a summery color but you may opt in for blush instead for a spring vibe. Moreover, avoid predictable color palettes such as red, white, and blue – sounds like 4th of July, right? Think outside the box and dare to be different!

Mistake #8: Not Giving Your Quinceanera Vendors Pictures of Your Color Palette

Sure, you can tell your cake baker that your color theme is blue and purple. But they might get the shades wrong and it runs the risk of looking super tacky on the dessert table. Hand them pictures of your color palette so you don’t get any last minute surprises.

The quinceanera reception music should be one of your top priorities. If the music sucks, your guests will want to leave early and it’s certainly not something you want after spending months planning your quinceanera!

Here are the dos and don’ts of quinceanera reception music you want to keep in mind to guarantee a full dance floor and everlasting memories!

Don’t Start the Reception Without Music

Imagine being early to the reception only to be seated across unfamiliar guests in dead silence. Awkward! Make sure to tell your DJ or band players to start playing music at least 20 minutes before you walk in to set the mood of the party.

Do Select a Variety of Genres

Sure, you should have music that pleases your tastes. But expect an empty dance floor if you play rock for hours. Mix it up so everyone has a chance to dance!

Do Meet the DJ or Band Before Your Big Day

Regardless if they gave you a recorded sample, you should always check them out live. Jot down mental notes of their interaction with the crowd, quality of sound, and how well they handle requests. You want your party to be lit the entire night!

Do Create a Playlist

It’s crazy how the music will play a big role in the ambience of your party. With this in mind, create a playlist that you know will get the party started and going. Most importantly, don’t forget to include your favorite songs. Tip: Go through your playlist with the DJ or band days in advance to make sure that they have all the songs available. If not, some will download it for a small fee.

Don’t Have Loud Music During Dinnertime

It’s annoying trying to hold a conversation with the people sitting next to you when the music is too loud. Make sure the volume is lower at dinner (instrumentals are recommended) and higher during the dance.

Don’t Choose a Super Long Song for Your Waltz

Photo by Hugo Benson Photography.

You want all eyes to be on you the entire waltz and surprise dance. Choose the right song and choreography (change up the steps) to avoid boring your guests to sleep.

Do Keep it PG-13

No one wants to hear F-bombs left and right or see your cousins getting low. Your quinceanera is not a club; it’s a family party so you should keep it at least PG-13.

We love the way watercolor can transform a plain white canvas to a masterpiece in a snap. That’s the reason why watercolor has become one of the hottest trends among artsy quinceaneras wanting to add some extra spunk to their decor!

These original watercolor ideas will take your quinceanera celebration to a whole other level!

QUINCEANERA CAKES

Have you heard the latest buzz in cakes? It’s all about watercolor cakes, mostly in blue, purple, orange, and pink tones. The effect is nothing short from AMAZING!

SWEETS FOR THE DESSERT TABLE

We can all agree that watercolor marshmallows are the cutest!!! Whichever sweets you choose, make sure the base is white so the watercolor design is visible.

DRESSES

Stand out from head to toe in a spring or summer-inspired watercolor quinceanera dress! Flowers and butterflies throughout the dress seem to the the most popular designs.

 BACKDROPS

Put your painting skills to the test and create a colorful backdrop that could be placed in back of the dessert table or the photo booth. For added texture, tie dye tassels in the colors of  your theme and hang them on a rope. Your can also hang floral garlands to bring your backdrop to life.

 WATERCOLOR DECOR

There’s no reason why you shouldn’t go all out with your watercolor decor! From table linens to centerpieces, everything that you can imagine can be watercolored. Have an ombre table linen with the darkest shade at the tips and the lightest at the center so it doesn’t clash with  your watercolor centerpieces. You have two amazing options for the vases of your centerpieces: glass or wooden. For glass vases, fill them up with water and add a few drops of food coloring for a magical watercolor effect. You may also tint the vases to make it extra dramatic. If so, keep your flowers delicate-looking with pastel colors and greenery. If you choose wooden blocks, half-dip it in watercolors and use bold colored flowers in orange and pink tones. For a romantic vibe, don’t forget about watercolor candles, which you can easily turn into a DIY project.

WATERCOLOR INVITATIONS

Why have a plain white invitation when you can make it colorful using the watercolor technique?! From the envelope to the RSVP card, invite your guests to an exciting celebration.

Body shaping garments like waist trainers, butt lifters, and shapewear tights have often come under the scrutiny of medical and health experts a time too many. While their arguments are backed by scientific logic, practical experience, and common sense combined will make you think otherwise.

Here’s an explanation to why three of the most common issues related to shapewear might actually not be such a big issue, to begin with.

They squeeze the life out of your body

Do they? Not if you’re only wearing them for a limited time. Well, at least that’s how things like waits trainers, butt lifters, and body shapers are meant to be worn – just about 3 to 6 hours a day. And mostly women wear them when they’re working out, which means that duration rarely exceeds the three-hour mark in most normal situations. So if the experts say that you run the risk of breathing and blood circulatory problems, broken ribs, and neural damage, while numbness due to the last of the three might be normal, more serious consequences are only to occur after prolonged overuse and abuse of the garments.

They cause malnutrition

No, they’re only reducing your food intake. That’s right, body shapers that function especially by cinching in the waistline are merely reducing your body’s natural intake capacity and are by no means prevent you from eating healthy food. There’s a big difference between eating healthy and eating a lot – and the two are most definitely mutually exclusive. You can have a big appetite, but if you’re not eating healthy, then you’re automatically predisposing yourself to chronic illness. On the other hand, having a small appetite will not only make you take smaller meals multiple times in a day, which is actually a preferred pattern of eating, but it will imbue you with a habit to consciously eat healthy. Ok, agreed, the tightening compresses your intestines and causes constipation, but considering that you’ll be working out and even some of the less intense daily exercises would actually help to counter the problem.

They cause skin infections

Only if they’re dirty and sweaty and you wear them on repeat without washing them! The reality is, skin infections can be easily transmitted through a number of ways regardless of you wearing a body shaper or not. Sweaty gym equipment, unhygienic sanitary conditions in public or private toilets, and even simple things such as shaking hands can become a medium through which skin infections can be transmitted. Logically speaking, you can’t stop these things, but you can take precautions. And naturally common sense would say that you can’t really stop using body shapers, but you can be careful by doing just two simple things; one; keep your shapewear clean, and second, take a shower after you take them off.

As you may have already noticed, flowers will take up a huge chunk of your budget! But it’s not the end of the world. There are a whole lot of alternatives that are way cheaper and fun to make. One of these projects in particular are candle holders. They will magically illuminate the space and they will even work as party favors, saving you even more!

Put your crafty skills to the test! Here’s a list our favorite tutorials to create DIY candle holders – some are enchanting while others appear like mouth-watering treats.

Cupcake Candles

These candles look so real that you’ll forget that they’re actual candles and you’ll want to eat them! (but don’t). Sarah knows how to make the most adorable version using a couple materials from the Michael’s Arts & Crafts store. It’s a fairly easy tutorial, but you just have to work super fast to avoid the wax from drying. They’re perfect for a candyland themed quinceanera!

DIY Glitter Candles

Christine made these glitter candles for less than $5 and they will beautifully illuminate your venue under dim lights. Use them as useful party favors or winter wonderland themed centerpieces! Start at 1:57 if you want to skip the intro.

Lotus Candle Holder

Romantic, enchanting, and purifying are some words to describe gorgeous lotus flowers peacefully floating in a romantic pond. Your guests will instantly fall in love with your clay creation!

Frozen Inspired Candle Holder

Having a Frozen or Winter Wonderland quinceanera? Then you certainly don’t want to miss the following video! This project is the easiest to make and all you need are white glue, paint brush, small blue & transparent beads, candle holder, and a candle. You can buy everything at your local bargain store if you don’t have them already.

Lace Candle Holder

Lace, tutus, and beads…if these three items together instantly make you think of adorable then you must incorporate them into your candle holder.

TriColor Candles

Don’t be afraid to play around with color! Add red and orange for a summer vibe or use darker colors such as blue and green for winter.

The candid shots taken at a special event are sometimes the most memorable because they were taken when you were genuinely feeling a certain way or they could be plain hilarious! But with so many things the photographer has to focus on, he or she may not be able to capture all those special moments. Here’s an easy solution: have your guests take the pics.

Create a quinceanera hashtag and share it with your guests! Then you can check out the pics after your party and keep the ones that you like.

Here are a few rules to follow to choose the best quinceanera hashtag for your party!

INCLUDE YOUR NAME

Start with your first and last name. Include any nicknames that your girlfriends know you by to make your hashtag unique and memorable.

NUMBERS ARE A MUST

Numbers will set your hashtag apart from the rest. Add the number “15” or the date, year, or a number that has some significance to you.

PLAY AROUND WITH WORDS

Arrange the words so it makes sense, it’s clever, or funny.

MAKE IT EASY TO SPELL

If your hashtag looks like it’s vulnerable to being misspelled, change the order. For example, people might forget to include all the “S’s” in the hashtag: #JessicasSuper15Bash. A better hashtag would be #Jessica15Bash.

CAPITALIZE THE FIRST LETTERS

Capitalizing the first letters of each word will make it easier for your guests to learn the meaning of your hashtag.

GO ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO CHECK IT

Log onto your Instagram or Facebook and type in your hashtag. If there are hardly any pics, then give your hashtag the green light. But if your hashtag yields thousands of results or multiple quinceaneras have already used it, you might want to change it around. Your hashtag should be unique so the pics are easy to find.

SEND IT AND PRINT IT!

Let everyone know about your hashtag! Make sure it’s printed on your save-the-dates and invitations. Set up a poster at the venue’s entrance to remind your guests.

Since the era of Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevigne and other internet-famous supermodels came to the scene, a quiet but a powerful force started slowly entering the world of fashion with them. No, it is not elegant at all – it is all around casual. We might even say too casual. Oh, and it is comfy and stretchy too. This force is called the athleisure trend and basically it means that now, in the year 2016, you can without hesitation put on your yoga pants, sneakers and hoodie and go for a casual walk and maybe even a cup of coffee with your girlfriends without having anyone look at you in a queer way.

If you like the idea of athleisure wear, but haven’t yet tried it, here is how to sport it up.

Do’s and don’ts of athleisure

Do’s

First of all, never be afraid to experiment and mix and match. For example, you can combine your boots and jeans with a vintage hoodie. Next, the golden rule of wearing yoga pants or leggings: your butt has to be covered. Simply, wearing these pants anywhere else but the gym without covering your bottom may seem vulgar. Tie a flannel shirt around your waist and you’re good to go. Next, and a very important, actually the most important rule of all is that you MUST separate your athleisure pieces from your training pieces – the clothes you wear outside the gym need always to look brand new.

Don’ts

Don’t ever look sloppy. Ever. Don’t forget about your signature style – you don’t have to choose colorful pieces if you are fan of monochrome combinations, and of course, don’t EVER wear clothes with stains and tears.

Creativity is the key

The longer you observe, the more options and ideas will start appearing in front of you. The great thing about fitness clothes is that it has evolved so much that you can even make it look elegant in some situations. Who can tell you not to wear sneakers with jeans and a blazer? That’s right, nobody. Tracksuit and a winter coat? Go for it. When you are in school you can put on your white sneakers, white tracksuit and a white wrap jacket – just be careful with your food. If you are not a fan of monochrome, try adding some color. The most important thing is that you mustn’t be afraid of improvising and if you are in any type of doubt, opt for neutrals (you know, geometric patterns, black, grey, nude etc.). You have to understand that there are no specific rules except those do’s and don’ts.

Worldwide phenomenon

Many designers, from Gucci to Versace, have really gone nuts about the athleisure trend. It is simply the fact that people love comfy and stylish stuff – which is perfectly logical, and they probably thought: why wouldn’t we make tracksuits a hit once again? Many superstars, like Rihanna for example, have embraced the athleisure trend a lot earlier, as hipsters would say – before it was even cool. She rocked all kinds of cool tracksuit combinations, like that one time she showed up in Brooklyn in a fun green Gucci tracksuit – which you wouldn’t even think was a tracksuit. Or when she rocked the full black tracksuit and orange coat? You go girl.

Also, RiRi isn’t the only one. There are also Kim Kardashian, the youngest fashion icon Kylie Jenner, Kanye West, Beyonce, etc.

So there you have it, your guidebook through the interesting phenomenon called athleisure trend. Remember: try out different things and don’t be afraid of experimenting. The most important thing is that you have fun and to enjoy it to the fullest.

When cake is served at a birthday party, do you skip the frosting? Wish you could just savor the moist bread and fresh fruit by itself? Good thing naked cakes are now a trend!

Naked cakes have been receiving more attention because not only are they delicious and healthier than the traditional buttercream cakes, but they’re also visually appealing! Best of all, they’re easy to customize to match your theme.

Take a look at the following galleries for some quince cake inspiration. You’ll soon learn why naked cakes will soon become the top choice among quinceaneras-to-be!

WHITE BREAD NAKED CAKES

White sponge cake and rich buttercream in between each layer topped off with fresh berries…we bet you’re craving this now!

NAKED CHOCOLATE CAKES

If white bread won’t satisfy your taste buds, then chocolate will seal the deal! Decorate the cake with fresh flowers and metallic details to make it stand out. Instead of white frosting, use pink to add a feminine touch.

NAKED CUPCAKES

Having cupcakes instead? Even these delicious desserts can be transformed into naked cupcakes! Decorate them with flowers or tell your baker to create roses with buttercream on top of each.

You’ve been waiting for this moment your entire life – the day you turn 15 and celebrate BIG with your family and friends.

Casa Blanca Floral Designs forever taking care of Quinceaneras!

Worry about your guests taking your centerpieces? Rosa Zapien’ business has options available for their clients!

Quinceaneras can purchase the centerpieces in its entirety (floral arrangement and chosen vase) or rent out the vases keeping the actual floral arrangement.

“If the girl chooses this option, we usually work with their DJ to let the guests know the floral arrangements are free to take home but not the vase/stand/candelabra.”

A great way to avoid your tias fighting over who takes the centerpiece is to raffle them.

When we asked Rosa Zapien if she had any advice for Quinceaneras who are planning their party, she said:

“Not to wait until the last moment, plan ahead and create a vision board of what they would like, for their dream day.”
