What will your chambelanes wear?
Maybe you know exactly how you want your chambelanes to look at your quince–or maybe you have no idea. I have to say, it was way easier finding dama dresses than outfits for los chambelanes at our daughter Arianna’s quinceanera. We didn’t want the boys to have to rent tuxes, because the cost was ridiculously high–for an outfit they don’t even get to keep! We went with grey pants, light pink shirts, silver ties and black shoes. It was simple and the outcome was very nice!

Selecting outfits for your chambelan de honor y los chambelanes:
- Renting suits is the simplest way to make sure everyone will match, if that is important to you. If your chambelanes get their outfits at the same rental shop, they will all be properly fitted and will be able to completely match. Ask for a discount if all of your chambelanes rent from the same shop.
- If you aren’t very concerned with an exact match, you can pick out what you want the guys to wear and let your party know : “black dress pants, black jacket, red long sleeved shirt, black dress shoes”. You could also really make it easy for everyone and pick out a specific brand and color, this will make it simple for everyone to find the right outfit.
- Your chambelan de honor should stand apart from the rest of the chambelanes. He could wear a different color suit — or maybe he could be the only one in a full tux. You want him to stand out from the rest of the guys, be a little fancier–but still fit in!
- Try to make things affordable. Search around to find good deals and make decisions that are good for everybody. See what it costs to rent a suit versus buy a suit.
- Get creative! Your chambelanes can have interesting accents to their outfits, such as a tie that goes with your theme, Converse instead of dress shoes, hats, suspenders, etc. Think about how to work your theme into their outfits, if possible.

How will you dress your chambelanes?
My Perfect Quince
I would have a beauty and the beast them what should my chambelanes wear
so my dress will be light purple. any ideas as to what the chambelanes should wear?
What should my chambelanes wear?? My dress is in the color champagne. I would like them to wear cowboy boots as well but I don’t know exactly what they could wear. Help!
Maybe like a tan color suit would be nice with both boots and your dress. Are you having a formal party or if it’s a little less traditional/fancy you could consider nice jeans with the boots and blazers! Sarah
Hey im having trouble deciding what my chambelanes could wear i dont know what to do. What do you recommend if my dress is a combination of mint with light pink on top. Please any comment will be helpful im freaking out !!!!! SOS
I like grey for chambelanes and you could do mint ties/bow ties for the guys and pink for the chambelan de honor or vice versa. If you want a contrast you could put them in black and if you want a really fancy look have them in white suits. 🙂 I hope this helps let me know what you decide~~ Sarah
my sweet sixteen is only have one Chamberlain
and damas
im having trouble finding my chambelanes cause it cant be my cousins cause
1 they live far
and 2 they are too young
an i have like no guy friends at school
help please
I understand! It can be such a struggle!! Do you have damas yet? A couple suggestions: 1. Do your damas have any friends who could potentially step in? 2. Consider having less if necessary. I know 7 is standard but that’s tradition not absolute rule. 3. Young gentlemen at church, or brothers of friends? 4. Does your family have any ideas on this? That can be a difficult situation to be in so I hope you find some chambelanes!! Sometimes I see girls with like 4 chambelanes 🙂 I’d pretty much get everyone I know involved with helping me find some chambelanes. Let me know what happens!! Sarah
Hey Im having my quince in like less than 2 months I told my chambelanes that they were going to wear ties and they refused to wear them becuase they don’t like ties they want bow ties should I give them that choice. Help plz plz !!
Hey so I’m having truble with finding what my chambelanes should wear. My dress is bright yellow and I would like the guys to wear bow ties. Please help
I feel your pain, finding chambelanes outfits for us was a big hassle!! Have you thought of putting the guys in yellow and grey? Such as: grey slacks, white button up shirt, yellow bow tie? If you are going more formal like complete suits/ tux for the guys maybe you could go with white (instead of black). I also saw a nice combination that was light grey for the suit, aqua blue for the shirt and yellow for the tie: http://www.pinterest.com/myperfectquince/yellow-quinceanera/. I have also seen yellow combined with navy blue for a preppy look.
You could have a little fun with the bow ties, make them all the same yellow but get different designs (polka do, stripes, etc.)
Let me know what you go with! Sarah
Hi so I want to have a beach theme and my dress is going to be light blue but I really don’t want to dress my chambelanes in a tux due to the heat. What kind of outfit do you think they should wear.
Maybe they could go vaquero? That's how mine is going. Mine is June 28 in Arizona so it'll be really hot. But if yours is a beach theme, maybe they can just go in black dress pants and shoes, a black tie, and a light blue collared shirt?
Hi Diana, what about something like this: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/534732155728018126/ ? It depends what you want your colors to be but black or light tan would both be nice 🙂 Sarah
Help on a theme? My dress is either blush or light pink , im still deciding. But i dont want a paris theme because i dont find any interest in that. And a princess theme, eh i dont wanna have it all fairytale and carriage and still little kidish princess you know?
Thanks.
Hi! Check out my quinceanera themes by color post here: http://myperfectquince.com/quinceanera-themes-color/ I know what you mean by little-kiddish, and you can definitely make it more elegant and age appropriate by selecting more mature decorations. Are there any other themes that do catch your interest? Sarah
heyy what color goes best with purple so my chambelan can go the same as me?
Hi, I think purple goes with a lot of colors. Your chambelan could go with black, grey or white, and add purple (like his tie) to match you. What theme are you thinking about? Sarah
Hi so , I’m having trouble picking out my guys outfit and I really don’t want them to wear black due to my quince being in the summer . Anyone have a website i can check out ?? SOS
Hi, what are your colors and do you have a theme? Have you considered light grey or possibly white? Sarah
What would be a great theme if my dress is Light Bright Blue? And if the invitations are ticket invitations? Please help.
Hi! What if you did something like a “Story of my Life Theme”? So basically the ticket invitations are inviting your guests to a celebration of your life. You could make a movie, slideshow, or powerpoint to play for your guests highlighting your 15 years, your interests, talents, family and friends. Ticket invitations also go nicely with an Old Hollywood theme, or Carnival theme! I hope this helps 🙂 Sarah
