Seven pastel paper lanterns with gold foil tops and bottoms, eight gold tassels between them, strung on a hundred inches of gold ribbon.
A lantern garland does something a balloon garland cannot, which is hold its shape indefinitely and pack away flat afterward. The lanterns are dimensional, so the garland has depth from every angle, and the gold foil catches light at the top and bottom of each one rather than washing the whole thing metallic.
A hundred inches of ribbon covers a mantel, a doorway, or the front of a dessert table with room to drape. Hang it for a bridal shower, a dinner party, a milestone birthday, or a summer table where the palette is pastel and gold.
It arrives ready to hang, so the only decision is where.
