Christmas Centerpiece: To Add or Not to Add Lights

Christmas Centerpiece: To Add or Not to Add Lights

Which centerpiece photo do you prefer: the one with lights or the one without lights?  The LED lights add a brightness to the table; however, I think they look the best at night because the strings really stand out during the day.  Next year, I am going to spend more time working with them because I like the fun and welcoming look they bring to the table.  By the way, I recently found the unique white plates at a consignment store.  I like them so much and they were made in the Czech Republic, one of my favorite countries.  They may be more pretty than practical because at Christmas, the cranberries were seeping through the decorative spaces on the plates.  The stains on the tablecloth came out in the wash, though.
