Do you like these eiffel tower vases? I'd probably use feathers, branches, and greens but not too much blooms. And some small tealights surrounding the vase.

Or do you like lower centerpieces such as these lanterns with some greenery or rose petals and small tealights?

Of the three links, which do you prefer for a library setting? Part of me thinks the eiffel tower vases may be too obnoxious in this type of venue. But will the lanterns be enough to set a pretty table?

Thanks for your recommendations!
