At this time, you need to begin looking around for your quinceanera dress and accessories. Some quinceaneras might find that their quinceanera falls between two seasons. This is important because many dress designers change their catalogs about twice a year. The dress you fell in love with this week might not be available in a few months. Consider these things when shopping for your quinceanera dress. Also, think about the colors that you damas and chambelanes will wear. You might want you dress to have lilac accents so that you will match with your damas that will be wearing lilac as well.

You also need to start narrowing down your chambelan de honor and the rest of you court of honor. You need to let them know so that they can start saving the date. This is especially important if you quinceanera falls near a holiday or during the summer when a lot of people decide to travel. This is also important because you also need to start shopping around for the dama dresses. Remember that sometimes getting all the dama dresses might take as long as three months! You want enough time for you damas to get alterations if they need any. The same thing applies for the chambelanes. Start browsing for tuxedo styles that you like. Do you want your chambelanes dressed as cadets, in a popular zoot suit, or something much more traditional? There are so many options to choose from and it is very important you start research all the possibilities!

Hire a choreographer or dance instructor to help you with the quinceanera waltz during the reception. I highly recommend in hiring an experienced professional for such an important event. It takes a long time for everyone to learn the dance especially if you are wanting something a little more unique. You want you quinceanera waltz to be flawless and well rehearsed. No one wants to see an uncoordinated and sloppy routine so make sure you are practicing with plenty of time ahead.

Research where you will rent anything you might need during the reception such as a tent, chairs, tables, linens, etc. It's a good idea to start researching your options as well as pricing. Even though nine months might be a little soon book these items, I recommend asking the company when they suggest the appropriate time for booking is. Keep in mind some businesses are much busier during certain times of year. Book them if possible and if you choose not to keep this on you priority list. Time flies when you planning such an elaborate celebration!

Don't forget to be keeping some kind of planner or organizer for the planning of your quinceanera. It can be something as simple as a notebook but I guarantee that organization will make everything so much easier.

Finally, have fun! Don't let stress or frustration overwhelm you. Your quinceanera will be one of the most memorable days of your life. Ask your friends and family for help, tips, and advice! Check back with us periodically for more great information on planning a quinceanera!
