Your support makes all the difference.In new levels of bridezilla madness, a naturally red-haired bridesmaid has been told by a bride that she needs to dye her hair brown so she will fit in with the rest of the wedding party.
Reddit user ‘bridehairthrowaway’, took to the platform to air her concerns after receiving the unusual request and ask for advice.
The bride, referred to as “Ella,” emailed bridehairthrowaway about the wedding and when discussing the look she wants for the bridesmaids, said: “You’ll need to dye your hair for the day, I’ll take you to my hairdresser and cover the cost :)”.
The bridesmaid, who said she is a “natural ginger”, texted the bride to question needing to dye her hair. She was told that her hair colour is quite “attention-grabbing” and wouldn’t fit with the “cohesiveness” of the group.
“She told me my hair would clash with the wedding colours and that brides get a veto over pretty much every aspect of their bridesmaid’s appearances,” the user wrote.
After telling the bride she wasn’t comfortable dying her hair, the bride said she would get back to her but hoped she would reconsider, and the other bridesmaids are telling her to go along with changing her hair.
Reddit users responded to the predicament, with one calling it “some serious bridezilla nonsense” and another calling the bride “nuts”, and many suggesting she back out of being a bridesmaid altogether.
