Wedding Arch
Arches have been especially popular in weddings in recent years, as it's a great way to decorate the backdrop of the ceremony or any other space of the celebration.

Glass Knick Knacks and White Candles
Winter will always remind us of the cold, and on Mexican beaches, you won't feel it, but you can bring a touch of the same feeling with icy decor.
Glass is a material that is ideal for looking like ice, so you can fill your tables with glass cups, vases, and bottles to give that unique touch of the season.
Combine the crystal decoration with white candles and you'll have a beautiful setting worthy of the winter season.
