Based on what I've observed and learned, it's mainly a Catholic tradition. I've photographed different ones, Mexican and Puerto Rican and I've seen others. The ceremonies were ALWAYS a full Catholic mass and were all very beautiful.

These photographs are from JWThompson Visuals website but they are a wonderful example of the girl and the days events.
