Today, I was demoted as a bridesmaid in a wedding because I dyed my hair, and didn't ask permission from the bride to do so. The bride is my sister. FML

Hey guys!! I'm surprised that this got published. I didn't dye my hair a weird color or anything. I went from a dark blond to just brunette because my sister actually suggested it months ago. She's been unbearable throughout this whole thing, but it's okay. I'm still going to the wedding, but as a guest now. :/

well, I feel like we don't get the whole story here. I don't think she would have been mad if you dyed your hair black or blond. Rather dying it a preposterous colour like pink or green would make her mad. Which in that case, I'd have to agree with her. while it is your hair and your decision, when dying your hair with a bold colour (especially if you weren't seen with it before) takes attention from the people around you. It's her special day, and she'd like the attention to be focused on her and her husband. Plus if it isn't some crazy colour, I'm sure it's just nerves. If it was already all planned out, small changes like this tend to make the bride/groom nervous. It's really not uncommon and you should probably talk to her about it. I hope she'll calm down and you can make it up

You kind of deserved this, I mean she planned this for a long time and the dress must go with everyones hair and then go and change your haircolor? How dare you? I'll go and burn my man card now...

Assuming you didn't dye your hair a crazy color (meaning outside the "natural" spectrum) that would suddenly make you a spotlight attraction at the wedding/in the pictures, I'd say you're well out of a disaster. That's some serious Bridezilla behavior.

But even if you DID go wild with the color, it's a bit petty of her. One of my bridesmaids had blue hair, and nobody cared. All eyes were still on me... Of course that may have been because mine was a brilliant, two-toned shade of violet that went with my black and violet dress. And mostly all the guests were in costumes because it was a Halloween wedding. Compared to all that, someone with blue hair is just another guest.

Maybe remind her, gently, that she had suggested it a while back. And offer to continue helping her with the wedding. Hopefully she'll see you're wanting to help and not go all bridezilla! :)

Oof. Nobody likes a bridezilla. Sorry, OP.

She probably got jealous on how great it looked! Maybe she will change her mind if you have a talk with her.

i hate to say it but i wish i could have gotten out of my sisters wedding so easily. i hated my brither in law and wanted nothing to do with their marriage but alas i ended up a bridesmaid anyways. maybe your sister will pull her head out of her ass before the wedding and realize how stupid she is being. goodbluck and either way, if you go only as a guest its less stress on you

To be fair, it IS her wedding. That's a pretty special day for most people, and brides can get really anal if things aren't working the way they want. Sorry your sister's being a pain, but at least things will work out once she's out of "bridezilla" mode.

Might be her sisters wedding but it is OP's body, her hair and her choices.

Just because it's her wedding doesn't mean she can now dictate over the wedding party's bodies. I'll never understand why some women (and men) think that they now have some supreme power over others because they're having a wedding. They need to breathe deep and relax before they try to dictate and end up burning bridges.

As a professional wedding coordinator, even I think this is way to extreme. Unless she dyed her hair lime green or something equally ridiculous. But the OP went from blond to brunette. The bride is way out of line. A wedding is no excuse to be unreasonably crazy. The only people who disagree with that tend to also be unreasonably crazy.

Since I was a kid, I used to hear the protocols woman follow on weddings, that everyone knows but no one has to say: you never make announcements like being pregnant, getting married, getting divorced or moving out of town ON someone else's wedding, you will not show to the wedding wearing white (unless on a beach), all black (if mother in law) and no, if you are a close family member, you keep a classic look so you won't steal brides thunder.

You must have missed the op a few post up saying she went from blond to brunette, still classic, hardly going draw attention away from the occasion. So her sister is just being anal. Otherwise all good general rules.

Brides go over every detail of a wedding, from the color of flowers, to the color of dresses and decorations. How many guests, and who is paired with whom in the wedding party. It is a significant thing to change ones hair right before a wedding. Even as a husband I managed to figure out that you just don't mess with someone's wedding details.

Well if she died her hair an obnoxious color I could see the bride removing her from the maid of honor position, but since it was just blonde to brunette, the bride is over reacting to the new hair color
