May I ask a few questions for clarity's sake? It's my understanding that you want to change the flower girl's dress from purple to red, but you also mentioned changing out the pink. If you're wanting to change the dress from purple to red, do you also want to change the ribbon color on the bride's dress from purple to red? And if you do change from purple to red, you might also have to adjust the colors of the flowers.

This is a big project and it must be for a very special friend. I think it's a great idea to reflect the wedding colors of your friend; it will definitely personalize it.

If it was me, I would look for the range of purples and try to select the same range of reds. Try this website to see if it will help guide you:

I've actually done this before! I changed the flower girl's dress and the other ribbons to green. Try these for reds:

Heart 814
Circle dot 815
Slash dot 816
U 304
b 321

I'm using my DMC color book.

I want to change purple to red.. sorry coz the the dmc color said pink.. thanks for the link.. will check it now.

Jsimonpurple.. is that light green? My other friends wedding's motif is mint green.. u think it will be the same color? Thanks..

It's actually blue! The purple color isn't true. It uses 930, 931, 932, 3753, 3756. The pinks are used for the flowers.

jsimonpurple, I wondered about the colors last night as I didn't see any purple colors listed. I actually checked the blues listed but thought that couldn't be correct either. Did the actual Lavender and Lace package show a photo? And was the dress photoed as blue or purple? I'm trying to figure out if it was the photo or my computer that is not showing true as far as color.

This picture looks purple to me, but the picture to my old pattern shows blue. L&L has never had the best photos.

Here the picture looks right:

Wow, that's quite different even from the picture posted on the Lavender and Lace website. I can clearly see the blue on the picture you supplied so I guess I can assume that it's not my computer at fault. Thanks.

P.S. I like the purple better than the blue and I bet the red will turn out spectacular.

Actually I did green, I just looked up the reds for the original poster!

Okay guys.. can somebody here can give me a color pattern for red?? Please.. thanks..
