You’d assume that a bride and groom would want to be the centre of attention on their wedding day. It would be difficult for this to be the case if you have a celebrity in your bridal party, right?
Maybe not. Throughout the years, quite a few celebrities have been bridesmaids for the special people in their lives (both famous and not). They seem to always understand that the day should not revolve around them!
Whether you’re shocked by this or not, you’re probably curious to see some celebs who have been happy on the sidelines. Here are some of our favourites:
– Beyonce
BEYONCE?! Yes, the extremely popular singer, Beyonce Gisslle Knowles-Carter, stood up next to her little sister, Solange, on her special day. Of course, Beyonce would never steal the show at her own sister’s wedding, because as we all know… Solange can fight!

– Rihanna
RiRi is something else! The ‘Love on the Brain’ singer’s assistant, Jennifer Morales got married in Honolulu in 2015. Naturally, Rihanna was a bridesmaid in the wedding.

As the coronavirus pandemic worsens across the globe, more and more brands are jumping in to do their part. Many bridal brands are now offering their skills to make a positive difference in any way they can.
Sewing surgical masks
Many bridal designers have joined the fight against coronavirus by repurposing their workshops to produce non-surgical face masks that they will donate to hospitals in need. High-fashion designers like Naeem Khan, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Prada, Chanel and Christian Siriano are just a few of the big names who have joined the call. Smaller bridal companies are also participating.

David’s Bridal is actively committed to protecting these heroic individuals and we are deeply grateful for the partnership with JOANN to make this happen,” said Jim Marcum, David’s Bridal CEO.
