An archway can be made of balloons or other materials, and can be another element used to make your entrance to your party special. An archway can be purchased, rented or made.
You can buy a backdrop, or make your own. A backdrop is ideal behind the head table, a buffet table, and/or cake table. It can also be used as a fun photo booth area for your quinceanera. A backdrop can be anything from a banner to homemade paper art, to draped fabric.
Some backdrop ideas: personalized banners, beaded curtains, letters spelling out the quinceanera’s name, paper flowers, pom poms, strings of lights, garlands, draped fabric, balloons, and lanterns.
One of the best decorations ever, balloons will help you stretch your decorating budget and make a big impact. I have made a complete description for different ways to use balloons at your quinceanera party here.
Candles are very nice to use as centerpieces. Its safest to use small votive candles floating in water, or LED candles. Check with your venue– sometimes reception halls keep a stash of decorations items that can be used to accompany your quinceanera decorations.
Decorating your ceiling can make a big difference at your quince. Fabric, balloons and parasols are three common items used to dress up a ceiling.

This is one way to transform a plain room into something really fancy. Renting chair covers can cost more than buying chair sashes, so make sure to do your homework.
Chalkboard decor is really popular right now. You can use chalkboard elements for table numbers, random signs around your party, or you could even use a chalkboard easel to list important or funny facts about yourself!
Curtains can be used at your entrance, or at any doorway around your event.
Just like at weddings, you are very likely to find flowers somewhere at a quinceanera. Fresh, artificial, or paper are a few different options. Below are some options that are sold by a florist called Fifty Flowers. They have excellent prices and great reviews online, and are definitely worth checking out if you want fresh flowers at your quince!
Garlands can be bought or made, and can be made of a wide range of materials. Paper, tissue paper, tulle, crystals, beading and even objects like mini-lanterns can be found on garlands.

Lighting is awesome to help create a mood, enhance a color scheme or add drama to your party. Lighting can be dramatic, with entire walls lit up. Lighting can also be more subtle, like strings of lights on the head table.
Pew bows are a simple way to make sure the church look very elegant. You can buy bows, or buy fabric to make bows if you want a custom color or fabric. Here is a tutorial that is stunning, and although it is technically not a pew bow, it is a lovely pew decoration that would be amazing for a quinceanera.
Because it is your special day, don’t hesitate to highlight yourself by displaying pictures of you and your life. Consider doing a slideshow if you have access to a projector, or find other creative ways to display your photos. Ordering a favorite photograph of yourself on canvas and displaying at your mass and reception would be beautiful and something you can keep forever.
Pom poms and paper lanterns are a popular decorating item. I found a source that has an AMAZING assortment and variety for both,PaperLanternStore.com. These items can be used for centerpieces, be hung around your party or as extra cute decorations on your cake table (or candy buffet!).
