Beautiful Boughs

A simple bouquet of bare branches offers a chic and easy alternative to the customary Christmas tree.
Arrange the branches in a tall vase with a medium-sized opening, and pour in sand to stabilize the bottom. To keep the look modern, opt for ornaments in a limited palette, such as these silver and amber decorations.
