The Decor
Your quinceañera decorations will depend on your theme, budget, location, and personal preferences.
The Basics
Some common decorations nclude balloons, centerpieces, table linens, seat covers, a backdrop for the head table, draping, lighting, archways, a photobooth backdrop area, and candles.
Archway
An archway can be made of balloons or other materials, and will make your entrance to your party special. An archway can be purchased, rented or made.
Backdrop
It can enhance the atmosphere of your quinceanera celebration. Use it behind the head, buffet, or cake table.
It can also serve as a photo booth area, and can be made from various materials like banners, paper art, fabric, and more.
Balloons
One of the best decorations ever, balloons will help you stretch your decorating budget and make a big impact.
Candles
Candles make great centerpieces. Use small votive candles in water or LED candles for safety. Sometimes reception halls keep a stash of decorations items that can be used to accompany your quinceanera decorations.
Ceiling
Decorating your Quinceanera ceiling can make a huge difference. Fabric, balloons and parasols are three common items used to dress up the ceiling to bring your event to a next level.
Centerpieces
Use your centerpieces to make your party pretty and support your quinceanera color palette and theme. Glass is always a delicate option, you can use candles too. Do not make huge centerpieces because they will block the guests' view.
Chairs
This is one way to transform a plain room into something really fancy. Renting chair covers can cost more than buying chair sashes, so make sure to do your homework.
Chalkboard
Chalkboard decor is a trendy way to add charm to your party. Incorporate chalkboard random signs around your party for a modern look.
Curtains
Curtains can be used at your entrance, or at any doorway around your event.
Flowers
You are very likely to find flowers somewhere at any quinceanera. Fresh, artificial, or paper are a few different options.
Garlands
Can be bought or made, and can be made of a wide range of materials. Paper, tissue paper, tulle, crystals, beading and even objects like mini-lanterns can be found on garlands. You can take some inspiration from South Asian weddings.
Cutout Yourself
This is such an awesome and unexpected decoration idea. A life size cutout of the quinceanera herself, how cool this would be?
Just For Fun
Add it to your photobooth, Victorian Couple Photo Stand-Up, or ANY other idea you may have.
Lighting
Lighting will create a mood, enhance a color scheme or add drama to your party. Lighting can be dramatic, with entire walls lit up. Lighting can also be more subtle, like strings of lights on the head table.
Pew Bows
Pew bows are a simple way to make sure the church look very elegant. You can buy bows, or buy fabric to make bows if you want a custom color or fabric. It is a lovely pew decoration that would be amazing for a quinceanera.
Photos
Because it is your special day, don’t hesitate to highlight yourself by displaying pictures of you and your life. Consider doing a slideshow if you have access to a projector, or find other creative ways to display your photos.
Pom Poms and Paper Lanterns
