Need ideas for decorating with new lanterns

I generally am a decent decorator, but am stumped. I bought 4 of the Flameless LED Candle Impressions TSV several weeks ago. Got the green lanterns. I bought a light brown buffalo check table runner at Hobby Lobby, and want to decorate my breakfast table. I put two of the lanterns and some fall foliage on the runner, and it is just not pleasing to the eye. I looked at some pics of decorating with lanterns, and most of them that are on a table are of different heights. Also saw one pic that had two lanterns with a centerpiece in between that was pretty. Opinions are needed!!  The table is 60 inches long, and could probably accomodate 3 lanterns, I know odd numbers are used in decorating. Thanks.

@nanny24   You could also elevate one if just using two.  I have clear small candle pedestal stands that I use to elevate pumpkins, candles and all sorts of items.  I've also used a small elevated cake stand if the item is larger.  Just run a garland around the bottom to make the item used for elevating the lantern less noticeable and you'll be set.  You could also add some pumpkins or gourds, or decorative rocks, or other small items.  You could also add festive cookie jars too.

@nanny24   I like them very much!  My sister has a lantern on her mantle, and it looks great there.

@nanny24  Do you have a fireplace?  If so, I can imagine a few of the lanterns surrounded in and out with small pumpkins, gourds.  Or the same idea on a mantel.
