Folkorico and mariachi tree

This has to be one of our favorites. The mini folkorico dancers and little mariachi hats have such detail that it really gives the tree real elegance.

Loteria and the saints

We love the reasoning behind this tree. Alicia D’Arcy says: “On our honeymoon we bought some ornaments in Mexico and that pretty much stated it all.” They’ve been decorating their tree in a Mexican theme ever since they got married, and throughout the years they have just added more and more Mexican ornaments.

Cactus tree fun

This tree is simple but unique. It also looks as if they painted the cactus on the ornaments themselves, which is so much better than buying them already made.
