Quinceañera

You ’ re a little girl no longer ... but you ’ re not a woman yet . You will soon turn 15 , a magical and wonderful age in which dreams intertwine with reality . It ’ s a special time for parents to see their daughter bloom as a spring bud and for the young woman to go out into the world , happy and enthusiastic about starting a new stage full of expectations and dreams . For all those reasons , when this moment arrives , it ’ s time to celebrate !
Although it ’ s true that times have changed , and with them , some customs , the 15th birthday continues to be unlike any other custom . Some still follow their mothers ’ traditions and make their society debut , with beautiful and very glamorous gowns ; others prefer to go out dancing with a group of close friends . There are not any definitive rules . The only thing you must do is enjoy the moment to the max .
Organizing a party seems like a very difficult task , but there is no need for that . Telemundo and Alteration & Creations Boutique will soon launch an area Quinceañera promotion . Do not miss Telemundo ’ s new show Quinceañera every Saturday at 7pm .
