During a formal quinceañera, the honoree is often presented with a bouquet.
The bouquet complements the honoree’s dress and may be carried during the entrance, religious service, photographs, or reception. Families commonly choose flowers that match the event’s color scheme, although no single flower is required by the tradition.
The bouquet can be presented by parents, godparents, or another relative. In some celebrations, the honoree later places it before a religious image, gives it to a family member, or uses it only as a formal accessory. These choices depend on local and family practice.
A bouquet is different from a corsage, which is a smaller floral arrangement worn on clothing or the wrist. Quinceañera ceremonies may include both, but the larger hand-held arrangement is conventionally called a bouquet.
