So, I currently have purple hair and I'm getting married next year.
I really only don't want it to be purple so I don't offend certain family members.
I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
I have really tan skin and was thinking of a light brown/blondish color or a redder color.
Should I just go with the purple hair I like, because it's MY wedding or should I make family happy. I don't want to hear them complain.
Also, should I leave my hair down to cover the tattoos on my neck or should I just go with an up-do, which is what I prefer?!

I wouldn't cover up the tats. I am not covering mine because they are part of me and will be there when I'm 80, even if my hair color is not.
As far as hair color I found a color that is a dark brown but with a purpleish hue, sort of like eggplant but little diff. It looks like the darker brown but when light shines you get that purple color in the highlights. I beleive it is Solocolor 6RV straight up. Then, I have these clip in hair extentions that are a bright purple when I want to bring out my rocker chick. (I am a teacher so having bright purple 24/7 isn't an option). Something like that may be a good compromise for you.
I wouldn't have had super bright colors for my hair on wedding day (at least not for formal pics or ceremony, the reception is a diff. story) simply because when I am middle aged I doubt I will have these unusual colors and I don't want to have to hide or digitally alter my wedding photos so I look decently normal. Of course I found ways to still have it be subtley me like dying my crinole and wearing colored striped stockings and a sexy corset underneath ;)

I firmly believe that a wedding day should reflect the bride and grooms tastes and interests, so I would say keep the purple hair if that's what YOU like, and also don't hide your tattoos, they are part of you and not something to be ashamed of, you don't have to hide the real you on your wedding day, you should be celebrating who you are and the start of your new life. I had my tattoo on show at the wedding and there are several pictures that look awesome showing my tattoo, I know some people view it as "tacky" to have tattoos on show, but I don't and am proud of who I am and what I am.

You could go with an updo like this: http://www.simpsonfanpages.com/images/cast_marge.jpg (Just kidding. :-)
My 2 cents as a babyboomer: Picture yourself looking at your wedding pictures at your parents' age, and at age 75. Do you think you going to want to look at purple hair? What about tattoos? It all depends what you want to look in the pictures when you're older. Some folks won't mind looking at purple hair and/or tattoos. And others would. I just read an article the other day on how the tattoo cover up business is booming.
As for your family: They know what you look like, and presumedly love you anyway, purple hair tats and all. I think you need to go with what you think your future self will like.

It's your wedding, do what you want. I'd do the updo and show off the tattoo, however, think of the future, are you always going to want purple hair in your wedding pictures? If you don't think you'll mind, go for it. but if you do, i think a light brown would look fantastic with a dark skin tone.

Well, I know I have this rep for being old and traditional . . . but I really think you should be yourself. If that means purple hair in an updo, then okay. That is what it means.
I think your family should love you and accept you for being you. Your family should concentrate on the fact that you are a wonderful special person and not be so concerned about the superficial stuff like hair color and tattoos.
Good luck to you.

You may want to consider changing your hair for your wedding. You may look at wigs/hair pieces so after the big day you can go back to purple hair.
As far as the style if you go w/an up-do, if your tattoos are big you may want to look at "movie makeup" which is heavier and does a better job of covering up for the one day.
