An anonymous bride was criticised on social platform Reddit for allegedly asking her redhead bridesmaid to colour her hair for the wedding, as it would “clash with the colour cheme,” according to Fox News. The wedding supposedly had a royal blue and green colour scheme.

The bride, reportedly from Australia, posted that she had asked her bridesmaid, Ella -who is also her cousin-  to either dye her hair or conceal it with a wig, but Ella refused. In the post, the bride asked people if they thought she was in the wrong. Many users commented saying her request was ‘ridiculous’ and that Ella was right to refuse.

The thread also landed in a Facebook group called That’s It, I’m wedding Shaming, with many members saying the bride is ‘insecure’ and scared that her cousin will steal the attention. “This is 100 percent the cousin being prettier than [the bride] and [the bride] wanting to change the cousin’s appearance to feed her own inferiority complex,” someone commented.

“Absolutely. Think how gorgeous a redhead would look in that colour scheme,” another added.

In the end, though, rumour has it that the two came to an agreement that Ella would keep her natural red hair just the way it is, but have an up-do so as not to come across too strong. Make of that what you will!
