Quinceañera
marks a turning point in the life of a girl, when she enters womanhood leaving
behind her childhood. This is celebrated on fifteenth birthday of a girl. This celebration
is essentially a Hispanic tradition, but today American and Hispanic cultures
are merged and families are preferring to celebrate Sweet Sixteen.
For
the whole Quinceañera affair, perhaps the most important aspect is choosing the
celebrant's dress. Usually a Quince's dress is white or pink in color and is a
ball gown, but nowadays all pastel shades are in fashion. Quinceañera night is
not only to tell that one has entered into young womanhood, but a respectful
and with a good taste.
To
make this night memorable many outlets offer various kinds of Sweet Sixteen Dresses. Leaving the traditional
custom of wearing white only, today's quinceañeras are choosing red, green, blue
-the jewel toned colors. For this party not only the Quinceañera dress is to be
given attention but also of the Dama and Chambelanes.
The
Quinceañera is surrounded by Damas and Chambelanes in her Court of Honor, and
this makes it important to choose their dress carefully. The quinceañera Damas dresses should
be so chosen that it compliments the dress of the quinceañera and also goes
with the theme of the party. Dress shops
provide gowns and tuxedos on rent for this big day.
