A quinceañera may traditionally carry a bouquet during her formal celebration.
The bouquet is a visible part of the celebrant's formal presentation. It may coordinate with the dress, decorations, and attendants' flowers, and it is often carried during a church service, entrance, photographs, or the reception. Roses are especially associated with many quinceañera floral arrangements, although families may choose any suitable flowers.
The bouquet is not the same as a corsage or boutonniere. A corsage is generally worn on the wrist or clothing, while a boutonniere is a small floral decoration usually pinned to a jacket. A bouquet is a hand-held arrangement.
Floral customs vary considerably. Some families use artificial flowers, a single stem, or no flowers at all. The bouquet may also be included in a presentation or dedication, but there is no universal required flower, color, or number of stems.
