We had a small wedding-preparation evening this week because she wants a modest update before her wedding. She is currently light brown, and she does not want guests to notice a sudden or theatrical change. The difficulty is that one sample looks much darker in phone photographs, so everyone reaches a different conclusion. One relative prefers a brighter blonde, while the photographer advised keeping the overall contrast familiar. We decided to stop voting from separate screenshots and compare the same references on one shared screen at normal brightness. Her dress is soft ivory, and the ceremony includes both a dim room and outdoor portraits. That combination makes skin tone in photographs more important than chasing a fashionable label. We used soft summer hair colors as a place to narrow the examples. Next we will photograph the shortlisted reference cards in late-afternoon light. The stylist can then judge whether no colour change at all is the safest choice. We also plan to keep the dress fabric nearby during the test. How can we keep family opinions from outweighing the stylist's evidence?
