Hello, WW friends! I need your aesthetic opinions on a decor piece that I’m slowly losing my mind over. 🤪
We knew we’d like to integrate lanterns into the wedding decor (to flank the ceremony aisle and potentially table decor) so when we saw this lantern on sale, we snatched up as many as we could (only 7, but for $170):

Now that I’ve been looking at more lantern inspiration, I’ve come across the additional ones below, and I think the ones I bought are starting to look not as cool/too simple?

The lanterns above are a little more expensive, but some of them can be ordered in the total quantity we’d need. Our “theme” is more magical, moody, and vintage. And if we use them as table decor, we’re hoping to hang the table numbers to them in addition whatever else goes in there (led lights, led candles, glass orbs, hanging tea lights, etc.) I also already asked my mom and FMIL to keep a lookout on more units of the lantern we currently have.
What are your thoughts on the lanterns? Which of them do you like the most, and which the least? Is it worth it to return the lanterns I have, and order new ones (depending on availability)? Or does it seem like the ones I have would work well enough?
