I guess I meant I want something close to my 'natural' hair colour; I know that colouring means it won't be natural any more but I don't want to show up at my wedding a completely different person from the one FI fell in love with. I know the link I posted was crappy but I was reluctant to post a pic of myself and couldn't find any pics of hair similar to mine on the net.
I've tried to crop a pic of my real hair. Hope it helps.
Thank you!

Your hair color is very pretty! Do you know how much money women spend in an attempt to duplicate that? Lucky girl!
Okay...down to business. You like your current color, and it's natural, correct? Do you just want to color the hair because you feel like trying it or because you're hoping to covering gray? And you want to be the same color in the end, same level of warmth (yes, on my monitor you hair looks warm)? You're okay with being solid as in no highlights, right?
Where are you located? I only ask, because if your not in the US I'll have to do some research to find out if you can get Redken color abroad. I don't know if you can. Redken is what I'm more familiar with, although I've used other brands it's by far and away my comfort zone. If you can't get Redken where you are, I'll have to look into what you can get you hands on.
I also just wanted to add that if you're doing this for your wedding and experimenting for the first time, you may just want to go the salon route. I say this only because your wedding is a BIG event and God forbid you messed up, you'd have to live with that--not just now, but in pictures forever and ever. For a first timer, if it were me, I'd probably be way to nervous to venture into at home beauty treatments with something so large looming on the horizon. Now, feel free to tell me to butt out, I'm cool with that...it's your hair...but for the sake of honesty, I'd be remiss not to forewarn you. I do color at home, I've colored my own hair since I learned how to do it (even in beauty school, I was a kitchen beautician)...but for my wedding, I took my butt to the salon.
