Bridesmaid won't dye her hair

764 replies

My bridesmaid has dyed her hair this week a horrible pink colour and I am getting married next saturday. Am i being unreasonable to ask her to dye it back or uninvite her from the wedding?

For context she is incredibly self-centered and always wants the attention to be focused on herself and I think she has done it just to stick out in the photos.

Her hair, her choice. You can't dictate what colour hair your bridesmaids have.

Can't understand why people are flaming me on here?

What shade of pink? Shocking, pastel!?

HelloEllo · 03/07/2018 15:40

Since i'm here does anyone have any advice?

Are you the OP trying to derail the thread because you're coming across as a dick?

elcarmen · 03/07/2018 15:40

I've known her so long i'm finding if hard to believe that she didn't do it on purpose, this sort of thing happens all the time Sad

If you have chosen red dresses and she has pink hair she's going to clash. It wouldn't bother me but I'd feel a bit sorry for her looking so bad. It doesn't reflect on you in anyway and she won't be on show much of the time so I'd ignore it.

HarshingMyMellow · 03/07/2018 15:41

There so many nasty 'friends' on here today.

Yes, YABVU to try and dictate what colour she has her hair for your wedding.
Also BVU to give her an ultimatum.

A friend colouring her hair would be the least of my worries in the run up to my wedding.

I hope she tells you no.

I didn't think bridezillas were a real thing Hmm

Get her to wear a wig

Imchlibob · 03/07/2018 15:43

She's the one who is going to look ridiculous with hair that clashes with her dress.

She won't be the centre of attention - she will be painful to look at and most people will ignore her.

Do not waste another moment's thought on it. Enjoy your day. Photoshop the hair to brown in the photos

Sorry posted that here by mistake
It doesn't work like that, post your own thread.

See above

Because you’re a dick.

high horse syndrome

Indeed.

My bet is she’s done it because she knows you’re a shit friend.

The concept of AIBU clearly escapes you OP.

HuckfromScandal · 03/07/2018 15:43

Why the fuck did you post on Aibu if you didn’t want an honest opinion???

Get over yourself, ffs, one day, no one else cares.

Pictureiswonky · 03/07/2018 15:44

elcarmen, your tone is so aggressive. Are you sure you liked this woman who you picked as bridesmaid?

You know what your options are, but if it was me and you asked me to die my hair back, I'd rather not attend your wedding. You really sound like a nightmare bride

gamerchick · 03/07/2018 15:44

I'm thinking rebellion as well in response to a bridezilla. Chill OP, it's not important given what you can do with photos these days.

HarshingMyMellow · 03/07/2018 15:45

@elcarmen
They're flaming you because it's a hair colour.
Her hair colour. Which you have NO say over.*

She's not turning up in white. She's not wearing a veil.

It really isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

toolonglurking · 03/07/2018 15:45

This is hilarious

Andromeida59 · 03/07/2018 15:45

The bride is quite obviously BU. Never understood why people getting married expect the world to revolve around them. It might be a big thing for the couple but it isn't really for anyone else.

DistanceCall · 03/07/2018 15:45

So what if she attracts attention? How is that a problem?

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 03/07/2018 15:46

I can’t believe people would actually photoshop her hair to a “natural” colour! It’s not like she will be mooning the camera! Grin

HelloEllo · 03/07/2018 15:47

Maybe she dyed her hair pink hoping you'll uninvite her?

finnmcool · 03/07/2018 15:47

OP I'll ask again, why did you ask her to be your bridesmaid, knowing what you know about her?
Also, do you seriously think it's ok to 'manage' someone else's hair colour?

elcarmen · 03/07/2018 15:47

I'm being called bridezilla when others are telling me to photoshop her in the photos?

It's not just about the photos it's more about the principle

elcarmen · 03/07/2018 15:49

She's my bridesmaid because she's one of my oldest friends. We've had problems over the years and I still never saw this coming.

She can keep the pink hair if she really wants to but i don't think it came from a genuine desire to have pink hair Sad
