Red haired BM - can she wear a claret gown?

My sweetest BM has red hair, not a bright red, but a Julianne Moore red. She would wear whatever color I asked her to, she is too nice.

I love the claret, deep red colors for BM dresses but is this a no-no for someone with that color hair? She would never tell me.
Thanks!

absolutely!!! She would look gorgeous!!! She would like that a lot!! I think it was my platinum blone, very light fair skinned bm that said the red washed her out a little and now she loves it! It will look great on her. BTW, did you see the website on Garnet... I apologize for not having the link, but I can post later if it will help!

Actually just this morning I sent you a FM - I can't find the 'swatches' for Levkoff's Lamour satin. I get on the site, and then I can't find where on the page the different colors are, or where to click for them. But it's not urgent at all, whenever you think of it send the link. Thank you!!!!!!!!

My sister is a redhead and she asked that i not choose red I would have her try on a dress in that color and see how it looks. It may look fabulous on her

I also have a redhead BM and we chose a claret Bill Levkoff BM dress and it looks stunning! she used to have an aversion to red tops but LOVES the dress- I think if it looks good and your BM wants to wear it, go for it!

My MOH is a red head and BEGGED me not to chose a red gown.....

When we went looking for dresses, the style we liked was a Dessy dress -- the sample the store had was in claret. She was right -- it didn't flatter her. We went with amethyst.

Have her try a claret dress on and see how it looks

One of my BM is a red head and I'm having a claret dress. She was actually the one who picked out the color and it looks great on her. As long as it's not a bright red, I think it will be fine. Have her try it on and seee how it looks.

My SIL gets her hair done with a reddish color and it looked great on her.

I am a red head and IMO deep reds look very good on me. Its the bright reds and pinks that look terrible.

as a redhead, I say go for the red. I hate fashion limitations, and it is true, there are probably colors that are gonna look better than the red on her, but if red is what you want, it is not gonna be as though she looks horrible.

I've seen red headed Bm's in red gowns and they were knock outs. Let her try the color on and see what you and she think.
