The princess quinceanera theme is one of the most popular quince themes–and for a good reason! This theme is pretty, classic and really, who doesn’t want to be a princess for a day?! This theme can be traditional—such as horse & carriage–or more dramatic–such as a Disney Princess theme. Here are some thoughts on how to pull off this truly enjoyable theme~
Color Scheme: Although pink may be the color that comes to mind first, you could go light blue (like Cinderella blue), dark royal blue, several shades of blue, purple—really the options are very open! Yellow, gold and white is another color combination that would be very pretty for this theme.
Venue: A ballroom would be ideal for a princess quinceanera theme, but if you can’t get a ballroom—work with your venue to make it royal! Take your venue and make it fit into your theme through the decorative elements of your party.
Invitations: You are in luck if you choose this theme, because invitations for a princess quinceanera theme are abundant! I found this gorgeous invitation: Fairytale Dreams Quinceanera available through Michaels Custom Invitations.
There are styles with tiaras, carriages, princesses, castles–even glass slippers. A scroll style invitation would go amazingly well with this theme!
The Dress: Chances are, you already have a really good idea of what you want your quince dress to look like. And for sure, most quince gowns reflect the ultimate princess gown. You want to choose a graceful and sweet princess gown, with sparkle and lots of pretty details. If you go Disney on your theme, go for an all-out Cinderella or Belle gown. Gloves and a beautiful updo with a tiara always complete a princess look. You could even top off this look with glass slippers!
Quince Court: If you go traditional, match your court to your colors. If you go Disney, you could literally dress your damas as Disney princesses (there are SUPER cute ideas for this on Pinterest). The chambelanes can wear a tie to match the damas they are paired up with.
Decorations: By brainstorming princess keywords, you will get tons of ideas for decorations. Castles, tiaras, crowns, princess dolls, horses, carriages, candles, flower petals, glass slippers, rhinestones, ribbons, bows, tulle, thrones and princess scepters are all elements associated with princess life. Use any combination of these elements to create centerpieces and table decorations.
A balloon arch with your colors is always a nice touch. Depending on your budget and taste, you may want to add a princess backdrop, something that adds to your decor, and your guests can take photographs in front of.
Entertainment: Whether you go with a DJ or a band, a well-rehearsed and traditional waltz for you and your court to dance to will be necessary.
Food: A sit down dinner would be nice for this theme. Select some food that’s not so messy. Tea sandwiches, veggies, real silverware, glasses, plates and real napkins help keep this theme fancy.
The Cake: There are many options for your cake with this theme, or you could go with a cupcake tower or a dessert spread with strawberry donuts, princess cake pops and chocolate covered strawberries. The ultimate treat: a pink chocolate fondue setup, with lots of options for dipping like marshmallows, pretzels and fresh fruit.

Party Favors: A marshmallow pop covered in plastic with a ribbon wrapped around it, would be simple and yummy (and also DIY friendly!).
Special Touches: A soda fountain would be a nice surprise for your guests. For the little girls, set up a little costume area, complete with some princess outfits, heels, tiaras and a mirror. Or, invite them to come dressed as a princess to your party. If your quince is outdoors or in a more country setting, riding into your party on a horse would be spectacular.
How will you carry out your princess quinceanera theme? And will you be having a traditional princess theme or will you go with the Disney princess theme?

Hi I’m having a quince next year and I really like the colors pink, blue, yellow, and purple do you know of any themes to match those colors?
At first, for blue, I was thinking of cinderella but I really want purple and pink incorporated into the theme/colors so I’m not sure. For purple, I was thinking rapunzel but I don’t know how to incorporate blue into it. Lastly, for pink, I was thinking of a pretty in pink theme with different shades of pink, white, gold, and maybe hints of yellow.
Please helpppp
So I’ve decided to have my theme as beauty and the beast. I changed the colors a bit to be more elegant, Gold, Burgundy, and Navy blue. I need some help deciding which colors everyone in the court should wear. Any suggestions?
hi my dress is burgundy and it would be in spring. help with the theme plz!!!!
Hi my daughter is half white half mexican shes never have been raised with any of the hispanic lifestyles or traditions and her fathers not in her life but shes insisting on having a quinceta im not sure what they are or if i should have her one please help
I am fully white, however I have gone to Mexico many times and I go to a Hispanic church. My father lived in Puerto Rico for a few years. I have been to quincenera’s and they are a lot of work, but lots of fun. If you don’t have much time until her birthday, you might want to offer a trip, which would be eye opening, and educational. Many parents offer this to there kids. I have this option and am still debating. If you do have a quincenera, defiantly do it on a smaller scale.
my dress is going to be white and red i need help choosing a theme my quinces is going to be in the winter..please help!!!!!!
Red Roses, Winter Wonderland and a Spanish Flamenco theme are a few themes that come to mind…Maybe Winter Princess–so elements of Winter Wonderland combined with Princess theme. What do you think? Sarah
Can you give me ideas for a royal blue dress .
Hi are you looking for a theme to go with royal blue or ideas for a princess theme with royal blue? 🙂 Sarah
I’m going to be wearing a light pink dress for this theme but I dont know what color dress my court should wear!! Can u please help me??
I think silver dama dresses are the best color to complement pink. Another option is white dresses. Pink silver and white is actually a really nice combo for princess theme, and also pink, baby blue and white. Sarah 🙂
Oh! And with these colors, I prefer grey suits for the chambelanes, because it is a softer look than black. Grey, or white.
Hi Sarah ! My quince is in one year and I love the idea of a magical garden theme. Can you help me out ? Thank you very much !
Hi, I like that theme, too. I have a magical forest theme: http://myperfectquince.com/enchanted-forest-quinceanera-theme/. This is pretty close to magical garden, you just want to make it more garden-like than forest like~~ Sarah
My quince is coming up in about a year and I would like my theme to be shine bright like a diamond or princess. The thing is.. I can’t find anything for the shine bright like a diamond theme. Can you help me?
Hi, here is my Pinterest board for this: http://www.pinterest.com/myperfectquince/shine-bright-like-a-diamond-quinceanera-theme/ I will make a future post for details. Basically you want to make everything as glittery, shiny and blinged out as possible! Sarah

Absolutely! Princess theme can pretty much be achieved with any color combo 🙂 Sarah

HI! I was wondering if pink is a good color for a princess theme? What do you think?
I’d like to know where I could find more ideas for the princess theme, I want to keep my quince very elegant, so no Disney princesses. I also will have a powder blue dress and silver is my other color, any ideas for how I can make it princessy without feeling childish?
I’m having a princess theme . I’m going to be wearing a white dress but the color for my quince are going to be red and gold any good sites for invitations or center pieces ?
Sounds very pretty! I did a search on Zazzle for ” target=”_blank”>red and gold invitations and I found this one. I think something like this is really pretty for red and gold princess centerpieces: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/449937818993949642/ To keep costs down check your dollar store for supplies, which you can spray paint or add glitter to: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/449937818992058238/. You could also use gold pumpkins to put a Cinderella spin on this, and spread around red rose petals! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/224335625162371109/ Let me know what you come up with! Sarah
Hi! I’m having a pink dress but i’m quite not sure for a theme? Have any ideas?

I want to have a teal and purple dress but not sure what theme will go good. Have any ideas?
Hi!, Teal and Purple usually makes me think of Mardi Gras/ Masquerade, have you thought of that for your theme? Sarah
My quince is in May 2014 and I wanna have an orangey dress just dont know what theme to pick for it.. i want it to be something different. If not im just gonna do the cinderella theme and have a blue dress:)
Hi, my dress is a royal blue and I want to have like a princess/fairy tale/butterfly theme. The problem is that I don’t know how to, any suggestions?
Hi I’m Angelica and my quince is in June2014
My colors are coral and gold and colors that surround
those two(ex. yellow & peach) and I want to incorporate Gold Princess & Candy somehow as well. Need help with a theme.
Hi Angelica, what if you did something like a Desert Princess? Because your colors would be very pretty with a desert theme. You could incorporate pyramids, camels, sand and a sunset into your decorations. And of course you would be the desert princess 🙂 You could also have a candy buffet, either for your guests during the party or for the guests to make favors. What do you think? Sarah
I really want my quinceanera theme to be Disney princess like Jasmine and I really don’t know how I can do that quite yet.
I have a dark purple dress do u know any princes theme
Hi Maria,
I think dark purple is great for a princess theme because purple is the color of royalty 🙂 You can basically do all the princess decorations in purple and maybe another color? Silver would be pretty with dark purple…
Sarah
What would a good princess theme for a blue dress be?
Hi Tatiana,
As far as Disney Princesses, Cinderella, Ariel and Jasmine would go well with a blue dress. I think using blue and white for your colors is super pretty for a Cinderella theme. Blue and silver also would go nicely. If you choose to go with a Disney princess theme, such as Cinderella, I suggest to watch the movie to get lots of ideas for your party 🙂 Let us know what you choose 🙂
Sarah
I might wanna do a sleeping beauty theme cause my dress is pink
I think that your idea for the Sleeping Beauty Theme is a great one! You could do alot of the princess theme ideas and use some ideas from Sleeping Beauty. Here is a Pinterest board I found with Sleeping Beauty theme ideas: http://pinterest.com/abooth1/sleeping-beauty-party/ I would also watch the movie and you will get so many ideas for your party! Good luck with your quinceanera!!
Nevermind…I just found this exact dress on ebay, for 1/2 the cost of an initial quote from a seamstress 🙂
Hi Melanie, I am really glad that you found it! I haven’t been able to find it anywhere, or anything similar even, it’s rare to find that light blue/white combination with the corset. It’s stunning — I hope your daughter loves it!
Hello, my daughter is also set on the Cinderella dress that is on this page. What should i put on the search button for ebay? And how was the dress when received from ebay?
Thanks!!
It looks like it was listed as “”White light blue Quinceanera corset Wedding Dress Evening Dress Ball Gown NEW” on ebay but I’m not finding it now. You could maybe try using another variation of these words. Good luck–this is an awesome dress! If you can’t find it, maybe you could find a seamstress to make it for your daughter, Sarah
Hi, my daughter is set on this dress. I saw your comment above. Have you been able to locate anything similar or perhaps have any other pictures of this dress that you can share so I ca take to a seamstress?
Hi Maribel, unfortunately this dress is from an expired ebay listing, and I have been unable to locate another. You may want to consider bringing the picture to a seamstress to see what it would cost to make. If I come across something similar to this beautiful dress, I will be sure to update you 🙂 Good luck!
My niece is in love with the blue cinderella dress on this page, do you know where I can purchase it?
