Before I Begin...
If anyone will be celebrating a Quinceañera or have recently celebrated one, congratulations to you! Maybe you can lend your insight on these occasions to this blog post.It is Cinco de Mayo as of this post, so... Feliz Cinco de Mayo, mis amigos! :)
Quinceañeras
Quinceañeras are the coming of age party for Latinas for when they become 15 years old. "Quince" translates to 15, so when one Latina turns 15, she is considered an adult in Latin culture. A lavish celebration is offered to her. These Quinceañeras are basically celebrations where the girl actually feels like a princess.
Quinceañeras are like the combination of a birthday party and a wedding. You obviously want to look and feel like a princess or a goddess (or whatever you consider the highest form of beauty and importance). They are both a festive party and a vastly religious experience. The girl celebrating her 15th birthday is usually in a beautiful dress, about as beautiful as the most alluring wedding dresses. Her hair is done up beautifully as she'll be ready to have her wonderful festivities. Basically, the preparation for all of this is basically like a wedding.
Here are a number of things that happens based on what I've read on the Internet and seen in videos. The ceremony itself consists of blessings to declare the Quinceañera girl into womanhood. A Quinceañera waltz (or vals) is where a beautiful dance (similar to a wedding dance) commences. The girl usually dances with an escort and with others in beautiful ballroom-type waltz dancing. What may also be wanted for a Quinceañera is a baile sorpresa (surprise dance). This is where a unique dance routine is incorporated into the whole Quinceañera, usually after the usual Quinceañera waltz/vals.
Quinceañeras: Fashion.
Fashion for Quinceañeras are almost like proms. Formal dresses will suffice for the girl celebrating a Quinceañera. Formal outfits also are for men and women for these occasions.

In addition to a lovely dress, one must also consider a beautiful hairstyle to compliment the Quinceañera dress. Here is an example of a beautiful hairstyle to go with a formal dress:

The last thing you'll probably need would be a formal pair of pumps or sandals. After that, you're set! Here is a little insight on shoes to wear for a Quinceañera: The Shoes for the Quinceañera. Now go enjoy your Quinceañera! :)
Quinceañeras: Final Thoughts
A Quinceañera is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for any girl who celebrates one or will celebrate one. As such, be sure to look and feel your best as you get all dolled up and ready to start a new chapter in your life. Look as fabulous as you want while also being fabulous.
Most of all, congratulations to you all who have celebrated your Quinceañera or will celebrate soon.
