Pink Themed Quinceanera

As you already know, I love making things with my hands. I love doing baby showers, bridal showers and all kinds of parties and events, but one of my favorite events to decorate is the Mexican quinceanera. If you don't know what this event is, let me explain. In Mexican culture, the 15th birthday for females is very important. It marks her becoming a woman. A girl's parents throw a big party, something so important, you would probably compare the price of a girl's quinceanera to an American wedding. It's that big of a tradition in Mexican culture.

For this quinceanera, the girl requested a party with a pink theme. Pink is one of my favorite colors, so making this party become a reality was really satisfying and fun for me. I did my own daughter's quinceanera, and her theme was yellow. She wore a beautiful yellow dress and looked like "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast. I will post pictures of her party in the future. 

But for now, let me share with you some of the items I made for this quinceanera. It was so much fun creating such a colorful party!

This is a picture of a few of the centerpieces I made before I placed them on each table. The pink flowers dominate the bouquets, but the touches of yellow, peach and white make them more fun than if they were all pink bouquets.

I saved the most vibrant pink flowers for my "Wow" pieces, floor vases that stand tall on sit on the corners of the room and near the entrances.  Here's a couple of pictures of them in full view:

In the picture, you can't really get a real idea of just how large this vase is.  Here is a close up of the flowers:

I filled the water area with pink tinted water to match the girls' theme:

And I created smaller candle centerpieces to match the large table bouquets:

I also had tall glass candle holders amid an array of tossed yellow and pink flower petals and small tea candles. Pink colored water filled the small candle holders.

There were so many more details in this event. Please check out my shop if you are interested in any of these products and to also see more of what this event had to offer. Here is a picture of the main cake table filled with ribbon adorned candles atop towering glass holders and the next to a large standing bouquet.
