How to select the perfect Quince accessories
Pro Tip: Remember to purchase your accessories in time for your photo shoot. A lot of Quinceaneras get so concerned with the gown, it’s easy to miss the smaller yet essential details.
Choosing the Crown
When selecting a crown, consider the metal tone that best complements the gown and overall theme.
For example, if your dress has silver embroidery on it, you typically would want a silver crown and necklace to avoid clashing.
Here are some possible ideas in case your dress doesn’t have any metallic tones in it:
Silver: Ideal for cool-toned dresses such as white, blue, or lavender. Silver gives a timeless, classic sparkle.
Rose Gold: Perfect for blush, champagne, or warm pastel gowns. It adds a soft, romantic glow.
Gold: Best for ivory, red, or jewel-toned dresses. Gold brings warmth and a regal touch.
Pay attention to the stones in the crown. Choose between iridescent finishes, which reflect multiple colors for a magical shimmer, or natural clear stones, which offer a clean, elegant sparkle. The finish should align with the overall mood—iridescent for a dreamy, fairy-tale look, and clear for a sophisticated, traditional style.
Matching the Crown to the Hairstyle
The height and size of the crown should complement the chosen hairstyle.
Smaller crowns and tiaras are ideal for wearing the hair down, adding a delicate touch without overwhelming the look.
Medium-sized crowns and tiaras pair beautifully with half-up, half-down hairstyles, balancing elegance and volume.
Tall and large crowns work best with updos, creating a regal and dramatic effect that highlights the face and neckline.
Selecting the right crown height ensures comfort and balance, allowing the hairstyle and accessories to enhance each other seamlessly.
Selecting the Necklace
The necklace should complement the crown, not compete with it. Matching the metal tone is essential—if the crown is silver, the necklace should also be silver; if the crown is rose gold or gold, the necklace should follow suit. This creates harmony and balance in the overall appearance.
When it comes to stones, consistency is key. If the crown features iridescent stones, the necklace should mirror that same finish. If the crown has clear stones, the necklace should match. This coordination ensures that the accessories look intentional and polished in every photo.
Picking the Bouquet
The bouquet is the finishing touch that ties the entire look together. To make it stand out beautifully in photos, choose a bouquet that is either a shade darker or lighter than the dress. This contrast allows the bouquet to pop without clashing.
For a light pink dress, consider a bouquet in deeper rose or soft blush tones.
For a royal blue gown, a bouquet in pale blue or navy hues creates a striking balance.
For a white or ivory dress, a bouquet with pastel or bold-colored flowers adds dimension and vibrancy.
The bouquet should also reflect the overall theme—romantic, modern, or traditional—and complement the crown and necklace without overpowering them.
Bringing It All Together
When the crown, necklace, and bouquet are chosen with care, they enhance the quinceañera’s natural beauty and create a cohesive, elegant look. Matching metals and stone finishes bring unity, while a thoughtfully chosen bouquet adds contrast and visual interest. The result is a stunning ensemble that shines in person and in every photograph, capturing the essence of this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
