Need help - dress issue with FH's brothers wife

So we don't have a real wedding party, just my sis as MOH, my mom, FH's mom, and FH's brother's wife all walking down the aisle. We still wanted the make sure colors were coordinated, so we gave everyone a swatch months ago so they could all get dresses in a wine color. My sis, my mom and FH's mom all found dresses in the wine color. The brother's wife has been claiming she cannot find a dress in the wine color that fits her and that they aren't really in stores, even though she lives in a major city and she is a perfect size 2. So she bought a dress, and just emailed me a photo of it next to the swatch -- not only is the color totally off, but the dress actually looks red.

What should I do? I don't want to insult her by making her take back her dress. But she is going to stick out majorly at the wedding in a red dress while everyone else bought wine (and I am not a fan of someone who is going to be standing up during the ceremony with us wearing a bright red dress!!!!). How should I tactfully handle this?

I might just say that. . . that you love the dress but you really don't want it to stand out. . that it might seem silly but it's really important to you and you are happy to help her look online (or in person if you can) b/c you dont want it to be a stress for her but it would mean a lot to you.

Ask if shes colorblind or just stupid and then ask why she bought a red dress?

i think this is one of those situations where u need to break out the bridezilla in u and just say im sorry if u like this dress but its not the right color and u wont match the other girls..if she gives u a problem i would give her a list of designers or specific dresses and tell her to pick from them..hth
