Quinceañera Traditions

 

The Quinceañera is a young woman's celebration of her fifteenth birthday, which is celebrated in a unique and different way from her other birthdays.This celebration marks the transition from the childhood to womanhood. It serves as a way to acknowledge that a young woman has reached maturity.

 

The traditional color of a quinceañera's dress is pink but now in modern cultures the guest of honor picks the color of the dress.

During the ceremony, the quinceañera's mother crowns the birthday girl with her very own tiara. The tiara symbolizes that the Quinceañera is a princess in God's eyes that night.

Traditional celebrations feature a court with 14 girls (damas) and 15 boys (chambelanes) which including herself would equal 30 people, or, 15 couples (to represent each year).

At the party the court does a waltz and a surprise dance. The girl also dances with her father but first changes from flats to heels to represent the first time she can wear them (the same with makeup).
