What does a mother wear to a Quinceanera?

Answer 1

Think of it like homecoming. I'm about to attend my first one myself and am super nervous I asked the other girls going and the girl who'd quince it is. She said that a dress you would wear to homecoming is perfect.

Answer 2

The Traditional Quinceanera celebration holds special meaning and has strong religious significance. It is the coming of age and celebrates a girl's loyalty and commitment to God.

Consequently, attire should be commensurate with what you would expect at any religious service. Formal is not necessary, but smart attire, is indeed appropriate. Clothes, such as buttoned shirts, nice trousers, clean and polished shoes, combed hair, anything that looks appropriate for such an important event.

Gifts are the norm, particularly those that celebrate the girl's turning sixteen. The Traditional Ceremony gifts are special signs of loyalty and commitment to God, family and the community. And Where the celebration includes the Mass of Thanksgiving, the gifts are presented to the priest for special blessing.

If the celebration is in the US, there may be a more secular aspect to Quinceanera. Some families have followed the cultural 'sweet sixteen' concept. However, as you've specifically asked about Quinceanera, I suspect the more traditional form will be the norm of the day.

Answer 3

A pretty party dress. This marks your first officially recognized step into womanhood. Not a little girl dress , but not something really sexy.Wear flats , or very low[ like 1 1/2 inch heels], as in most families, your father will come and put real high heels [ like Cinderella ] on your feet to signify his recognition of your womanhood. Hair up and a bit of make-up ,as some families also place a tiara on their " Princess ", and a tiara usually looks better on an upswept hair-do. Some tasteful, real jewejry, like a cultured pearl necklace and earrings. Have fun , but remember you are a young lady now, not a child.

Answer 4

Do you mean the mother of the quinceanera? Mine just wore a pretty black dress and had her hair done in a fancy bun. She has to look presentable (never showing off too much skin) because she will be in front of everyone in the mass next to her daughter.

Answer 5

You should wear something formal and elegant
