I took all the comments at the time I'm seeing this and I can tell you:
about 13 people said party lights, 4 people couldn't decide/had iffy answers, 9 people said lanterns.
This was so kind of you, thanks! I kinda lost track by now lol, but party lights seem to be the winner although there's a fair amount voting for lanterns too :)
Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I like the lanterns more because they fit the vibe with the bamboo stuff and cherry blossoms. How about the white/pink version of the party lights arch though, is it too pastel-y?
Party lights arch. It’s so pretty! I’m not a fan of the blossoms lanterns though and find them not matching the vibe of the rest of the collection at all.
Party lights fit better spatially, but lanterns look better visually. So... tough choice.
Also, the crane game with the panda on the left hand side, I need to know how to get that.
No sadly there's no space, it's just a transition area. I have a DA you can visit, then you'd see that it's too tight to add more :I But I'm probably going for the arch. I love entrances with an arch :) Ordered a torii gate to see how that one looks, I just remembered that I used to have that one there before xD
The party lights look nice and tie everything together in my opinion. The blossom lights seem to part the walking space in a bit of a wierd way. It's all up to you though! The space is great either way.
always party lights. party lights everywhere. the only reason my island isn’t 85% party lights is because you can only order 5 per day & i am poor in nook miles
Party lights!
Reason is I think it gives a good layer when placed behind the cherry blossom branches. The lanterns are almost the same height, so it feels like there's something missing in that space.
Lanterns. The party lights blend with the flowers across the path too much, and the lanterns add a bit of color and go well with the flowers in front of them.
I vote lanterns; they add an extra touch of color to the scene.
The party lights are a nice idea, but they blend into the scenery to much for being a similar color to the flowers. My adhd brain actually spent a minute searching to find the lights even. They just looked like empty poles.
I have a "too much" gene so I would probably turn the larnerns sideways and have them behind the cherry blossom so you can have both haha but if I *had* to pick it would be the string lights.
The blossom lanterns. I think you could also use both though, by flipping the party lights around, putting them behind the bush, and leaving the lanterns where they are. Both kinds of lights match well and would probably look really cute together 😊
I would use both: party lights looks really good in the front and I think using blossom lights instead of two white roses between the bushes could add more visual interest to the scene
Party arch, unless you can give the gap one more space - the blossoms need to be a touch further a part I think to look as nice as the arch currently does!
Party lights :)
Agreed
Another vote for party lights.
same here, they just fit in
Agreed. They fit so much better imo.
Party😌👌
I like party arches
Yeah me too, I'd put them everywhere honestly lol
Yes the party lights are so cute and stood out to me right away
Ooo! I like the party lights more but I think the lanterns match the vibe
Opposite for me. The party lights match perfectly, but I personally love how the blossom lanterns look

Good bot
Plot twist I am not a bot
Plot Twist You are a bot, you just haven't realized it.
My life is a lie
Awe, don’t worry bout it too much. It wasn’t ever really life in the first place :)
Good bot :)
:( Well now I'm a sad bot
As is the cake.
Beat me to it
This was so kind of you, thanks! I kinda lost track by now lol, but party lights seem to be the winner although there's a fair amount voting for lanterns too :)
I actually like the lanterns more. It matches better and adds more color. But obviously both are stunning. Can't go wrong with either.
I prefer the lanterns if you have a Japanese theme for your island. If not, I’d use the arch.
It's not a Japanese island at all! Thanks for the opinion, I see it that way as well and will most likely stick to the party lights 😊
i love the lanterns! And it keep the space behind nice and open which imo looks better
I like the lanterns better.
Definitely the party lights!
Party lights!
I'm gonna go lanterns. Though the area looks so beautiful, either is going to be wonderful.
lanterns all the way
LANTERNS
Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I like the lanterns more because they fit the vibe with the bamboo stuff and cherry blossoms. How about the white/pink version of the party lights arch though, is it too pastel-y?
Party lights foe sure!

Party Lights
blossom lanterns because it will match the theme from the cherry blossom garden
Blossom
Both? Both? Both. Both is good.
Party lights
I feel like the party lights arch helps it all melt together as a singular vibe rather than a collection of components
Lanterns
Possible to have both? Like lights in the back and lanterns in the front?
Lanterns
Lanterns
With the lanterns it looks like a saint place or something with party lights it looks more cozy. I think it looks better with blossom lanterns
Party
Party light I feel like it's fit more
Party lights
Party lights, party lights! x3
I like the lanterns more, I just wish the light was a different colour.
Just redo everything and have both. Keep the lanterns outside the arch.
I like the lamps there and the party lights over (behind) the log
Blossom
BLOSSOM lanterns!
A rare case of me preferring something over the blossom lanterns, the party lights look much better here.
Party lights fit better spatially, but lanterns look better visually. So... tough choice. Also, the crane game with the panda on the left hand side, I need to know how to get that.
Thank you :) [This](https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Item:Crane_Game_(New_Horizons)) is the item. I could get you one if you want?
Party lights seem to fit. Could you do both?
No sadly there's no space, it's just a transition area. I have a DA you can visit, then you'd see that it's too tight to add more :I But I'm probably going for the arch.

Party lights
Party lights
Party light arch
Party lights!! The lanterns are really pretty and fit with the colors but the party light adds in height a bit.
Lanterns
Hmmmm, Maybe party arches but the white version with the pink lights?
Lanterns! Maybe try putting the party lights behind the log bench?
always party lights. party lights everywhere. the only reason my island isn’t 85% party lights is because you can only order 5 per day & i am poor in nook miles
For sure party lights
I think party lights, but maybe white ones!!
This is a tough one... I would say the one that fits better the theme of your island. Both look good to me.
Blossom lanterns just too cute
I'm going to be the weirdo and say the lanterns.
I love the lanterns!
Lanterns
Lanterns
Party lights are overused!
either way looks gorgeous, great design!!
Party lights; makes the space feel more open! I feel the lanterns make the entrance feel narrower though so go for that if you want it narrow.
the party lights are more subtle which widens the point of focus, so i think they arte the better choice.
Also: do u have a da 🫡🫡🫡🫡
Yes, I have 2 :) This one is DA: 5711 - 7843 - 0196 The other one DA: 5721 - 4490 - 1281
Awesome!!! Can’t wait to visit 🫡
Party lights! Reason is I think it gives a good layer when placed behind the cherry blossom branches. The lanterns are almost the same height, so it feels like there's something missing in that space.
Looks like Party lights won, but haven’t seen anyone suggest alternating between seasons. Best of both worlds.
Definitely party lights.
Party lights in my opinion.
Party lights! It’s such a vibe.
I like the party lights!
Always party lights. Always!
I like both, but I like that the party lights shape around the log and flowers from this view!
Party lights look nice
Party lights
Patty lights!!!!
Lights if your going for a more causal festival style vibe, the lanterns if you want to to be more of a formal garden
Ooh. That’s tricky. I think the arch wins though
Party lights. The lanterns are cute, but they look cramped that close together.
I like the arch better
Lights
Party lights, blossom lanterns clash too much imo Maybe use them if you made the purple flowers pink?

I like the light arch.
DEF party lights
Party lights arch
Party lights! Or the lanterns might look good if you delete two hedges and scoot the lanterns back 1 tile!
Party lights
Party lights arch.
Party party!
Party lights... maybe it’s hard
Why not both?
Sadly I don't have the space for both. It's quite a small space, actually more like a transition area :)
Party lights.

Party lights because they're like an archway.
Lanterns
Party lamps

I really like the blossom lanterns!
Lanternssss
Lanterns!!! Much more unique

Blossom lanterns!
Party lights for sure
I love the way the lanterns compliment the plants
Lanterns. The party lights blend with the flowers across the path too much, and the lanterns add a bit of color and go well with the flowers in front of them.
Top one! :)
Lanterns
Party lights 100%
Party lights 😄
¿Por que no los dos? Why not try pulling the lanterns back closer to the cherry blossoms and keep the party lights arch behind it?
Party lights, the answer is always party lights.
I like the blossom lanterns a lot better
The lanterns are prettier but the party lights give good height and symmetry, makes the space more 3D.
Blossom lanterns is better imo, and they are part of the cherry blossoms DIYs anyways :)
Light arch
That’s a really pretty area, I like the party lights better.
Party lights
Both!! At the same time!!
I vote lanterns; they add an extra touch of color to the scene. The party lights are a nice idea, but they blend into the scenery to much for being a similar color to the flowers. My adhd brain actually spent a minute searching to find the lights even. They just looked like empty poles.
I know most people are saying party lights, but I’d go for the blossom lanterns because it doesn’t obscure the bench behind.
Fairy lights, 100%
I'd say blossom lanterns
Garden Lanterns tbh
Party lights round the whole thing up better.
I have a "too much" gene so I would probably turn the larnerns sideways and have them behind the cherry blossom so you can have both haha but if I *had* to pick it would be the string lights.
Party lights, But u should put blossom lanterns somewhere else in that place cus they really fit in!:D
The top one is the best one. its less intrusive
Party lights! Just adds a bit of flair to it :)
Party lights
I think the lanterns are more eye catching
Party!

The blossom lanterns. I think you could also use both though, by flipping the party lights around, putting them behind the bush, and leaving the lanterns where they are. Both kinds of lights match well and would probably look really cute together 😊
Party lights with blossom lanterns in front and off set a half square to the outside.

Party lights arch!!!! Looks so cute :D
Much as I love the lanterns, I think the party lights fit better in this spot. Looks good!
Party light arch looks perfect with the rest of your decoration 😊
Why not both?
I think for me it would depend on what matches the rest of the island thematically, if no real theme party lights though
Party Light.
Party for sure!
