QUINCEANERA
In the Hispanic community, the age of 15 is considered a major milestone
in the life of a young girl. The Quinceanera ceremony signifies her coming
of age, and recognizes her journey from childhood to maturity. The ceremony
dates back to the 1500's, when the Spanish conquered the Aztec Indians,
and the religions of Christianity and the Aztec Indians combined. The Quinceanera
ceremonies of today are based on values and morals. God and religion are
central parts of this important ceremony.
QUINCEANERA DECORATION
 There
are many traditions throughout the celebration. At the church ceremony,
an XV pillow specially decorated with the Quinceanera's name is placed
in position for the young girl to kneel on during the ceremony. Smaller
decorated pillows are also used for the presentation of the Quinceanera's
gifts. At the reception, there is always the toast to the Quinceanera,
known as the brindis. With specially decorated champagne glasses for the
Quinceanera, the guests are invited to offer their congratulations and
best wishes.
QUINCEANERA DRESSES
If you do not have a lot of money to spend but still want that perfect
dress, you can make or have a family member make your Quinceanera dress.
This can be more fun than just buying it. You will be able to pick out
