Ok, so I'm not so much having trouble with the hair style I want for the wedding but more the hair color.
My hair is naturally blonde but I've been going back and forth between red and blonde for the last 8 years or so. Right now is blonde but I'm kind of sick of it and don't think it's super flattering. Particularly when my hair is back (like it will be for the wedding) I feel like I look like I have no hair because it's so light and thin.
My MOH keeps telling me to keep it blonde because it's more classic and my FI says the red may look like too much with my pale skin and and all white dress (though he generally really likes it red).
Anyway, I'm stuck so I would love your opinions! For reference, here are photos of me with blonde and a brownish red. Please forgive how rough I look in the red hair picture, lol.

[QUOTE]I think you look great with the red hair! It could be the lighting difference but I think your eyes really pop in the 2nd pic.

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.
But in your fave e-pic siggy I really like the blonde in your pic. Maybe it's the lighting like the PP said!
That is a tough call girl...good luck! Luckily you look great either way

[QUOTE]I couldn't decide based on these two pictures because like PPs said, your eyes pop more in the second, but I liked the blonde better. <strong>So, I went stalker style on fb to decide instead.</strong> After looking at a bunch of both, I definitely like the blonde better!

<div>Hahahaha.Thanks girls! I really appreciate your input. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do but I'm leaning towards some version of a red. At the very least, I'm going to make a darker blonde.</div>

[QUOTE]What about red with blond highlights?
Posted by JCWhitey[/QUOTE]
<div>I actually had it like this before and didn't really like it too much. I may do like a strawberry blonde or something, though, which would be a good compromise. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /></div>

<div>Lol. You girls are so sweet!! I really want to do red but all my friends are worried it won't be the best option and it's SO hard to get back to blonde. I'm going to make them look at this post if I go red. haha</div>

BTW, love your engagement pics!!! Makes me lean a little more toward the blond but honestly you have a tough decision to make!!!
I'm naturally dirty blond so I'm just trying to decide how light/ dark to go with my highlights in March!

<div>FI says if he had to pick he would choose blonde. He's always like that, though. If I'm blonde he says he likes blonde best, if I'm red he says he likes red best. lol</div>
