A long time a very smart lady told me to apply my weddings skills to funeral work and I must say that I am very thankful to her. I figured I would do the same for a request for Quinceanera flowers.
The rite of passage in the Latino culture for young girls is the Quinceanera , or Quince, that is similar to the sweet sixteen, excpet the girls are 15 years old. Most of the Quinceanera's have a court that consists of either 14 couples, with her and her "chambelan" making up the 15th couple~ or she has 7 girls and 7 boys with her as the 15th person in the court.
Either way, that's a lot of personal flowers.
So here is a bouquet that is left for the Virgin Mary at the altar. It's typically the showiest piece in terms of personal bouquets so we made this one a bit bigger than we usually have for say a bride or a bridesmaid. My daughter is the model for the day. ; )
Its a bouquet with scented geranium, stock, lisianthus, and spray roses, and greens.

This was the mothers corsage which was just a single rose, the berries, small sray roses, and bit of the huckleberry.

I hope the Quince had a lovely day and may God bless her always! ; )
