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

weddings are supposed to be about joining families, celebrating your Union with people you care about. Not an excuse to be an inconsiderate witch and a day where everyone must stare at JUST you. You cold be a dancing three legged bear and people will still look at the bride anyways

As someone who just go married a couple of months ago in a HUGE traditional church wedding, I can honesty say that this is CRAZY! The further you get in to the planning the more you realize that they day is not for you. It's for everyone else and there is absolutely no reason to drive your self crazy with all the little stuff. Controlling, to that extent, the way your bridal party looks is ridiculous because at the end of the day the Bride and Groom are SOOOOO tired and they've has so much adrenaline running through their system that it's very unlikely that they remembered the whole day. So to all the brides out there i say "If at the end of the day your married, than the day was a success"

Well, what color did you dye it? I feel like that little detail is the deciding factor between YDI and YLS.

Give someone a smidge of power and their true colours come out. Unless you dyed your hair neon green or couldn't decide what colour you wanted and got them all, it's not her business. Being 'the' bride', what a crap excuse some women to act like a raging bitches. Sorry if i went too far, OP.

On her wedding day id dye my hair bright bright pink

I wouldn't even go . . . . Take that sister !!!

women understand women and they hate each other.

YDI don't ever **** with a chicks wedding

honestly I can understand this one. like if you have brown hair and then you decide to dye it like a rainbow. no. or if you decide an extreme punk cut and some random pattern in like blue and pink is good. I'm gonna say no thanks. now if you went from blonde to brown then she's crazy but I'd prefer no random colors at my wedding so I can understand someone else not wanting them. I would've asked before dying a crazy color but if its not crazy then consider yourself lucky that you got out of that!

OP stated that she dyed it from dark blonde to brunette (which her sister suggested she do). I for one don't see the big deal with "crazy" hair colors. The wedding isn't about micromanaging people, it's about bringing together family and celebrating a life time of happiness. Hell, you could dye your hair neon pink on my wedding day and I wouldn't give a ****. I'm only there to get married, why would I care about someone's hair? It's silly.

yeah I saw that after I posted :/ I personally want lavender hair however if I was getting married I'm attracted to a more sophisticated style when thinking of a wedding and unless the person I had asked to be a bridesmaid already had unnatural colored hair I'd feel upset that they changed it instead of waiting for my wedding to be over. I feel that its on the verge of being disrespectful to the bride and groom to drastically change your appearance if you've been asked to be in the wedding. I feel the bride and groom have the right to politely ask that you change it or you step down from being in the wedding. blonde to brown though is absurd to be mad about.
