A young bride-to-be has sparked a family rift after uninviting her older sister from the upcoming wedding – all because of a childish clash over the wedding’s colour scheme.
The bride, 28, took to Reddit to share her story, unsure of whether her actions were justified or if she’s the true villain of the piece.
The bride explained that she and her fiancé have been meticulously planning their dream outdoor wedding for over a year, with a popular colour scheme of dusty rose and sage green perfectly complementing the garden-themed event.
But her sister, Sarah, 32, wasn’t on board.
Sarah, described as ‘particular’ and used to being the family’s ‘golden child’, called the bride in tears after receiving the wedding mood board.
Claiming the chosen colours were a ‘horrendous’ clash with her olive skin and dark hair, she dramatically declared them her ‘worst nightmare’.
Sarah demanded the bride ditch her carefully chosen palette in favour of jewel tones that would better suit her complexion.
A shocking twist is that Sarah was already set to wear a jewel-toned dress, as requested by the bride to complement the decor – but that wasn’t enough, and she insisted the entire wedding decor be changed to suit her personal preferences.

The bride, stunned by the audacious request, calmly explained that deposits had already been paid and that the wedding wasn’t about Sarah’s aesthetic preferences.
But Sarah wasn’t having it and accused her younger sister of being ‘selfish and inconsiderate’.
She even threatened to boycott the wedding if the colours weren’t changed.
After days of relentless guilt-tripping and heated exchanges, the bride reached her breaking point and made the drastic decision to un-invite Sarah from both the wedding and the bridal party.
‘If she was that unhappy with the colours, then maybe it was best if she didn’t come at all,’ the bride wrote.
But the fallout didn’t end there.
The bride’s parents were furious, labelling her a ‘bridezilla’ and accusing her of tearing the family apart over ‘something as trivial as wedding colours’.
Extended family members also weighed in, pressuring the bride to accommodate Sarah’s demands for the sake of family harmony.
