Firstly, I've namechanged as don't want to out myself incase any of the people involved are reading 
DP and I are getting married on Friday. DNephew (9) is page boy.
SIL rang this morning and left a voicemail on DP's phone to say that she thought she better warn us that today they are dying DNephew's hair bright green, as that is what he wants. She laughed at the end of the message saying 'sorry in advance about the wedding photos'.
I know she isn't joking. His hair has previously been all manner of colours - purple, pink, red etc.
So AIBU to ask DP to tell his sister that if his hair is bright green, I dont want him on my professional wedding photos? Or am I being a bridezilla?
If IABU, then please be gentle, I'm stressed enough already 
AIBU?
To not want DNephew on Wedding Photos? Or am I being a bridezilla?!

god yes i would have flipped at this! just marking my spot as i want updates after friday!
DNP another one who loves your story! and your DSis is a beautiful Frodo 
Turn it round - say that green will clash dreadfully with the colour theme for the wedding but you would love it if it could be pink/blue/whatever (send swatch over for them to match) so that it will look good in the photos.
hopefully it will be a colour that he doesn't want to have his hair - so you'll just get it 'normal'. But if it is going to be coloured then you might as well get it to match
and we can see if the sil is on mn as we wait for the 'Is SIL being unreasonable to ask ds to dye his hair to match her wedding colours?' thread
Your SIL is the one being unreasonable without a doubt!! I would insist that she has his hair dyed back to a more normal colour by Friday or that he will not be a pageboy. Simple as that.
9 is old enough to understand why he has to wait a week to become Kermit. 
.
I hope the wedding went well and that she saved the hair colouring until afterwards. I don't think you would have been a bridezilla if you had declined to have him as a pageboy.
When my DD1 was 4 she was all set to be a bridesmaid for her nursery teacher. The bride had wanted 6 little blonde girls with "pollyannas". Sadly, a couple of weeks before the wedding, DD came home from said nursery with glue in her hair. Try as we might we couldn't get it out and she ended up having to have her shoulder length hair cut into a shortish bob. That didn't suit bride as it was too short to be put up into a "pollyanna" so she substituted DD for another child at the last moment. Taking into account that the glue incident had happened while she was at this woman's nursery, that is what I call a bridezilla!
Frantic 
that's awful! I can't imagine doing that to anyone, let alone a 4 year old who was probably dead excited about being a bridesmaid for the day.
Definitely a bridezilla moment!
I saw a clip online of an American 'bridezilla' show where the bride was shouting out instructions to her bridesmaids about exactly how their hair etc must be the next day else they wouldn't be allowed to take part, she was also insulting their general appearance so 'oh, you've got big ears so leave some hair down' type of thing. She then turned to a girl of about 15/16 and said
'by the way, your boobs are small and don't look good in the dress - if you don't wear chicken fillets tomorrow you can't be bridesmaid'
The girl then protested 'but Mum!'
The bride still insisted her DD couldn't be bridesmaid unless she had bigger boobs the next day though...
OP - how was the wedding? what colour was your DNs hair?
Can't see DNP's photos. In fact, can't see her profile at all. 
Is it only for friends?
