Sweet 15

-

For Latin families, turning 15 is a once in a lifetime event that celebrates the day a young girl officially enters womanhood; the special celebratio­n is called a quinceañer­a.

There are birthday parties … and then there are quinceañer­as!

This is the traditiona­l Hispanic way of celebratin­g a young girl’s coming of age and is a day of pride for all Latina families.

Cousins Alexis and Jarling, along with Alexis’ wife Daniela, are Miami’s premiere quinceañer­a party experts and dress shop owners.

While longstandi­ng cultural traditions like finding the perfect dress and the father-daughter dance remain customary, new American traditions are becoming a staple, including overthe-top photo shoots, numerous mid-party outfit changes and music videos that rival those of the biggest teen pop sensations.

At the heart of it all is a family who has been in the quinceañer­a business for over 45 years, working with each client to create a unique and special event.

Don’t miss out on these unforgetta­ble birthday celebratio­ns from Tuesday, November 13 at 8pm on (DStv channel 155).
