I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t a bit impartial toward red hair…I love it. It’s fiery, conveys a spunky personality and there are just SO many shades to play with.

As we inch closer to fall my head has been swarming with visions of brides with tresses the color of changing leaves, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite red looks with you!

For a more subtle red, auburn is a great choice for brunettes and blondes can kick it up a notch with a strawberry color.

However, if you want to really let your hair flame, these options are super fun and will definitely turn heads:

I love the mix of highlights in this one – it really does look like a beautiful fall landscape!

Keep in mind that if you do decide you want to be a ginger for your big day, you should definitely experiment well in advance. I absolutely advise against drastic color change too close to your wedding day – especially if it’s a tone or shade you’ve never tried before.

Also remember that red is one of the most difficult colors to maintain and can be incredibly high-maintenance. Because it fades so quickly, you’ll want to cut the hair washing down to only a couple of times a week and definitely use a color treating shampoo. I also recommend throwing a color depositing shampoo into the mix every couple of weeks. It will give your red a boost and can help keep it from looking dull or brassy.

Who are some of your favorite redheads?
