Jill of Layered Vintage says, This design concept came from Nic of Nic Roc Designs who wanted to celebrate the influences that Mexico has on our everyday life. We reached out to Casa Artelexia for some authentic decor and styling tips on how to decorate a proper shrine—a garland made of marigolds, crosses and tons of candles.
