ugggh...should i keep them?

I ordered beaded table runners from India. They just came today. While the handicraft is great - the lady got the bead colors wrongs. We're having a black/white ball themed wedding but she used silver and bronze. The silver is fine but the bronze...

The runners are going over white table cloths...

Still use them?

Where they pricey? Can they be re-made?

If not, I happen to like them...

Because the black runners are going over white table cloth, I would keep it. You're still getting black over white, so it would look nice.

The beads are small so I wouldn't go crazy over the bronze color.

Does the room have any gold accents? Chandeliers, candelabras? If so, they would go perfectly. I would keep them and call it a happy accident.

I think they'll be fine, the silver and black show up the most anyway. With your room set up, Im sure they'll still look great.

Re: ugggh...should i keep them?

i think they are beautiful and truly unique. The bronze is such a small part of it I think you should definitely use them!

No one is going to know that the beads are the wrong color. Go for it!

Re: ugggh...should i keep them?

I loooove them. I think the bronze is barely noticable, and they will look GREAT on white tablecloths. Good find!

Re: ugggh...should i keep them?

i would use them...no one is going to notice that the colors don't go with your theme..they'll be too busy complimenting you on how beautiful they are

Re: ugggh...should i keep them?

those are beautiful! i wouldn't worry about the bronze at all. first, everyone's going to be so 'wow'ed by them, they probably won't notice. second, the bronze will pick up the gold in the chandelers.
