I always dream of being a famous Hispanic singer or actress but to be realistic, I would love to become something in the medical field and on the sideline do something in my life where I can include music, art, acting and exploration.\"

Ashley\'s Quinceañera Dress

Since I was the dama de honor, our mothers took my cousin and I to this store where they sold a lot of independently made wedding/quince dresses. I love silver, so I browsed the store for a dress that was silver, had a simple design and was close to a traditional quince dress. I came across this amazing silver and pink dress. It was a lucky find.\"

Ashley\'s Quinceañera Guests

Ashley\'s Quinceañera Friends

Ashley\'s Quinceañera Music

Ashley\'s Quinceañera Cake

Her Quince Style: Laid-back, simple, and fun.
From: Lakewood, Ohio
Proud to Be: Nicaraguan
Her Dream for 15: “I want to go to college and receive my PhD in medicine.”
Why We Love Her: Ashley proves quinceañeras can be fun and unforgettable on any budget. Don’t let “My Super Sweet 16” fool you. An inexpensive, homemade quinceañera is just as special if you’re wearing a gorgeous dress, serving delicious food, and surrounded by loved ones. Plus, she wasn’t shy about inviting her non-Latino friends and teaching them about her Hispanic traditions.
