With Christmas just around the corner, holiday entertaining is bound to go on an overdrive.

Short of ideas on how to turn your table arrangement into a conversation piece?

Use some simple but chic sense. You can source materials right in your backyard, such as cacti and bougainvillea.

Menchu Katigbak, for instance, used small cacti on a network of twigs to decorate her round table set for a Thai dinner. Nothing huge or tall to block the view of the dinner guests.

Babette Aquino-Benoit plucked the bougainvillea petals and put them in a crystal-clear bowl of water.

Sheila Romero kept the table centerpiece simple to complement her art-rich wall of Amorsolos.

Simplicity is elegance.
