Kimono Bridesmaid Dresses

Question: is it bad for a half korean girl to have her bridesmaids wear chinese dresses or kimonos?
Answer: I don't think it's bad! It's your wedding and if you like it, do what you want. I can understand why people may think you should do a traditional hanbok (sp?) but it depends on if you have a certain wedding theme. Also, it also depends on if you are having a traditional wedding based on your ethnic background. Best of luck and I expect an invite to your wedding! ;p

Question: Wearing a Yukata to a Sakura festival -- ?
To be more specific, I have red hair. Not the red-in-a-box red, but natural, ORANGE red hair D:
To be even more specific, I can barely wear any colors without looking like a clown :
So, if I wanted to buy a yukata (typical weeaboo I know) what color/style Yukata should I buy?
Also, this is the best place I found to buy a decent yukata for a decent price, if you know of a better place let me know!

Okay people.
1. I am a weeaboo. and PROUD!
2. I dont plan on going to a Hanami until NEXT YEAR. Thats why I am asking NOW. I already went this year and decided I wanted a yukata.
And to the person that does not know what sakura means. Why are you even trying to answer my question?!
Thank you To people that actually helped.
Answer: You are not a weeaboo just for wanting to buy a yukata.
To match your hair, I'm thinking a nice dark blue background would be a good match. Black might be nice too. You might also find that you look good in the more traditional white and indigo yukata.
Kimono Market Sakura has the best selection of yukata, but you might want to try Ichiroya, Yamatoku, Kimono Lily, or Ryu Japan too. Ichiroya and Ryu Japan usually get some brand-new yukata in around May (though they might be sold out by now), and all of those places often have a good selection of second-hand yukata in a variety of patterns and colors. You could also try Rakuten for a brand-new yukata.
