During a traditional Catholic quinceañera, the honoree may present her bouquet to the Virgin Mary.
The bouquet presentation is a devotional custom found in some celebrations. The quinceañera may offer flowers to a statue or image of Mary during or after the religious service, symbolizing prayer and devotion. The exact words, timing, and form of the presentation vary by parish, country, and family.
This practice is associated with Catholic celebrations and is not a required feature of every quinceañera. A secular party, a non-Catholic celebration, or a family with different customs may omit it. The bouquet should also not be confused with the floral arrangements used for decorations or photographs.
The Virgin Mary is also known as the Blessed Virgin Mary or Our Lady in Catholic usage. Those titles refer to the same central figure in this context, while the answer names the person most directly associated with the custom.
