The Quinceanera Court of Honor

Your court of honor should look fashionable as well. Many quinceaneras worry about the damas upstaging them and many choose not to have damas for this reason. I feel that the damas only enhance your beauty, when they are dressed appropriately. Simple accessories will help them appear elegant and fashionable without distracting from your natural beauty.

To keep all eyes on you, don't select busy patterns or poofy gowns. Limit the amount of sparkle you add to accessories. Keeping them all looking as uniform as possible, keeps the guests' eyes on you, the quinceanera.

In most cases, the damas can wear their own shoes in a color you choose. Or you may wish to ask them to choose a pair of dye-to-match shoes in any style. The uniform color will keep them all looking very similar while allowing the damas to choose the style that is most comfortable for them.

Many quinceanearas don't feel like they have too many options when it comes to the chambelanes' vestidos, but formal wear for men really does provide a nice range of options. Plus, since the chambelanes don't distract attention from you, you can go a little crazy if you desire without losing the elegance, depending upon your theme of course. Also, you may want the chambelanes to wear something plain in the church and then add wild cumberbunds, vests, ties, hats, and / or canes at the reception. Don't do anything that doesn't fit your theme. If you're having a princess theme, the honor escorts should look elegant. Tails or crisp tuxedos are in order; take a pass on the zoot suits.
