The Recipe for a Perfect Quinceañera

A young lady’s Quinceañera is one of the most memorable days of her life. This exciting coming-of-age ritual dates back centuries and represents a girl’s transition into womanhood on the date of her fifteenth birthday.

 

Traditionally, aQuinceañera kicks off with a traditional Catholic Mass or another religious ceremony. This is a time for the young woman to choose readings and share the biblical texts she feels closest to. After setting formal intentions and revisiting her commitment to her faith as an adult, the Quinceañera and her guests indulge in a fabulous celebration. It is traditional for the reception to include a beautiful father-daughter dance, a moment for the father to recognize the importance of his daughter’s growth and celebrate this milestone in her life. This dance reiterates that a Quinceañera’s father is the number one man in her life, no matter her age. This special dance is often followed by a Waltz, where the Quinceanera’s court – a coterie of her closest friends – enjoys an organized dance. Throughout the evening, guests offer their congratulations and best wishes by toasting the Quinceanera in what is called the brindis. 

 

The first thing that comes to mind for many people when thinking about a Quinceañera is the dress. As lavish and elaborate as the celebration may be, the dress is its centerpiece. Symbolically, a Quinceañera dress represents a girl’s first dress as a woman and is a reflection of her personality and sense of identity. 

 

Much like a bridal bouquet, a Quinceañera’s flowers are essential to her look. In traditional Quince ceremonies, the birthday girl will enter the church with her bouquet, which she will leave at the altar. She’ll then exit with a scepter to symbolize the end of her childhood. The Quinceañera’s bouquet, then, is one of the most visible moments where flowers appear during the celebration. It is customary to choose a bouquet that matches the birthday girl’s dress and complements the rest of the décor in her court and her surroundings. For the perfect-in-pink arrangement to match a rosy dress and blushing birthday girl, consider our Spring Expectations Bouquet. Or, if the Quince takes a more jewel-toned direction, our Green Garden Bouquet’s pale greens and bold purples will pair perfectly. A traditional white or pale pink gown is best matched with a soft, gentle bouquet such as our Gerbera & Hydrangea Bouquet, a symphony of pastel petals.

 

In addition to the birthday girl, the other girls on the court traditionally carry small bouquets, and her family members will wear corsages and boutonnieres. For all of your Quinceanera floral needs, check out our special menu and complete selection of gorgeous seasonal flowers.
