It is wedding season (I think).
Well, I've been to two weddings within a month of each other so I'm claiming it as wedding season.
It's the one day where you get dressed to celebrate the happy couple. Unfortunately, some people think they get dressed up to celebrate themselves. These people are wrong.
After talking to some newly wedded brides over a few drinks, I realised that not wearing white to a wedding isn't the only rule we have to abide by.
Watch: Royal wedding guest dos and don'ts. Post continues below.
Because I pride myself on being a 10/10 wedding guest, I made it my duty to list all the things that you definitely shouldn't wear as a guest to someone's wedding.
A white dress.
Okay so this one is a no-brainer, right?
If you don't know by now, please, please, please do not wear a white dress to someone else's wedding.
Just like Kelly Kapoor from The Office, I also look great in white. But when it's someone's big day, it is OUT of my colour wheel.
I love wedding makeup. It's one of the few occasions that I carve out time to put effort into my eye shadow colours. I went to a beach wedding and decided on a subtle orange lid and honestly I'd never looked better.
However, there's a full face of makeup and then there's costume makeup.
Now there's an exception to this rule. If you're someone who usually wears costume makeup, then you're allowed to wear it to a wedding. Why? Because people expect that from you.
This rule only applies to Jane who goes above and beyond with her makeup look for the first time ever and rocks up to the wedding looking like a character from Euphoria.
I'm sure she looks amazing which is exactly why everyone is staring at her instead of the bride. Don't be like Jane.
