15 Celebrities I’d Totally Want in My Bridal Party

Much to my grandmother’s dismay, I’m not getting married anytime soon. However! If I were to get married, let’s say, next week, you know who would be my dream maid of honor? KE to the SHA. Yup, Kesha. Her cousin has recently asked her to be her maid of honor, and it’s really no wonder why. Think about it. Who would turn an otherwise stressful few months of wedding planning into a party other than our Lady of Glitter?

I mean, we all know she will throw the bachelorette party to end all bachelorette parties (Ludacris, endless tequila shots, did I mention glitter?). But Kesha isn’t the only celebrity who would embody the perfect maid of honor, here are 15 more that would make sure your wedding is NEXT LEVEL amazing.

1. Kristen Bell

Kristen Bell may seem like an adorable sunflower of joy and optimism, and she is. BUT this lady knows how to be tough. And she doesn’t stand for BS, especially when it concerns her friends and family. You know you’ll be able to count on Kristen to tell it like it is if someone is trying to upset her bride.

2. Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer knows what it’s like being all dressed up and center of attention on a hungry stomach. She can feel your pain and you haven’t even walked down the aisle yet. Leave to JLaw to be your right-hand woman with the snacks.

3. Solange Knowles

Solange is one of the most fashionable musicians in the industry — and the girl radiates ingenuity and swagger. I’ll just hand over my bridal dress planning to Solange, thank you very much.

4. Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway strikes me as one of the most responsible, dedicated human beings on this earth. If she can nail the role as Fantine in Les Miserables or Miranda Priestly’s assistant, I’m confident she can handle your anxiety-ridden, hot-mess-bride self.

5. Mindy Kaling

I’m pretty sure Mindy Kaling was born to be an amazing maid of honor/BFF/Queen of the Universe. Who else will be there for you with a cheeseburger and vodka tonic in hand when you’re freaking out about catering plans gone awry, or your mother insisting on rearranging seating so she doesn’t have to sit next to her ex-husband? Mindy will UNDERSTAND your needs, even if they’re ridiculous.

6. Katy Perry

Katy Perry has the magical ability of turning anything into a funtastic event. She’s so filled with love and enthusiasm, you’ll forget all about the fact that you’re stressed out of your bridal mind. Maybe she’ll also take Kitty Purry along for therapeutic reasons (obviously).

7. Zooey Deschanel

Besides just being generally amazing, Zooey will make sure your wedding is a picture perfect day to remember. Oh, and don’t worry about scheduling and pre-wedding party planning because Zooey Deschanel, as you know, is the master of multi-tasking. She will make everything happen.

8. Kristen Wiig

Maybe you don’t want to pee your pants on the day of your wedding because you’re dying of laughter, but if there is one person who will be there for you with jokes and smiles, it’s Kristen Wiig.

9. Amy Poehler

I know Amy is not the fictional Leslie Knope, but obviously Amy Poehler didn’t become the successful powerhouse she is today without being a Type A, organized and efficient ladyboss. Leave it to Amy to get STUFF DONE.

10. Emma Watson

Emma Watson seems really chill and mellow, and you’ll definitely need that in your wedding life.

11. Lupita Nyong’o

Lupita is not only brilliant, kind, and genuine, but she’s a fashion icon who is also the guru of the bold lip. Makeup tips? Lupita’s got ’em.

12. Lauren Conrad

Hills haters, I don’t even care. I will always love Lauren Conrad. From her immaculate Instagram manicures, to her envy-worthy messy braids, Lauren is like the epitome of a put-together adult. And when you’re getting married, you need that person.

13. Rebel Wilson

Even though Rebel played the role of a bride in Bachelorette, this I’m-laughing-so-hard-my-lungs-hurt funny actress is the perfect candidate to smooth out any complications that may come along.

14. Jessica Lange

We ALL need a Jessica Lange in our lives. I mean, forget wedding. I need Jessica Lange to be my life coach. Bonus perk: Lange is a photographer, so you won’t need to spend what you would put down for a car lease to document your wedding.

15. Kat Dennings

Kat Dennings is pretty much our universal celebrity BFF. She’s fun, smart, sarcastic, and fierce: she’s not afraid of putting anyone in their place if they’re stepping out of line. Because when it comes down to it, all we want is a trusty sidekick who is there for us one-hundred percent as we stumble through cake samples and pushy relatives, and overpriced name tags in a poufy white dress.
