i need ideas for a quinceanera in November.

The theme is "enchanted forest" and i would like to incorporate fairies in this. Would like the entry archway with lots of greenery but need ideas on what else to add besides lights and dragonflies. Please help.............

Check out butterflycraze They have a wide assortment of sequined butterflies, dragonflies, flowers etc in different sizes which all coordinate. Sprinkle glitter on some of the greenery to give a fairy dust look. Also, would like to add that oriental trading has a set of 3 metal fairy garden stakes for $4.99. These could be used as table centerpiecs by purchasing pots of ivy and sticking a fairy stake in them, then sprinkle the ivy with glitter. Intertwine ivy strands from Michaels around the chairs.

you can also triy faux diamond encrusted butterflies. Maybe with the proper lighting, heavily glittered butterflies might work as well.

I would investigate the archway to made from Willow or Wisteria branches. You can hang miniature faires from the archway and highight it with up-lighting in a pea-green or amber.

Centerpieces can also be tall willow branches emminating from a glass vase with a combination of glittering faires and tea lighting hanging from them. Surround the piece with candles. Midnight blue sparkle table cloths would be perfect.

Hi Mark, you could incorporate Unicorns into your Enchanted Forest theme. Unicorns can appear in the stationery (invitations, menus, programs, etc, etc). Depending on the budget and location, the Quinceanera can make a grand entrance by arriving in a Unicorn driven carriage. Good luck w/ this one. I'm working on a Quinceanera too....theme is Winter Wonderland....in May...in New Jersey....this is going to be one of my greatest challenges! Please keep me posted on the outcome, would love to hear & see pictures....and I'm definitely going to post pics in June!
