9 Celebrity Bridal Showers You Have to See

Celebrities are often seen either throwing or going to large, star-studded events, which makes fans assume that every party in their life, including their pre-wedding celebrations, follows the same formula. While this may hold true for some, (we're looking at you, Priyanka Chopra!) most stars prefer to keep their personal events low-key—even when it's a party as exciting as a bridal shower. In fact, many famous brides-to-be elect to keep their guest lists short when it comes to honoring their impending nuptials.

However, just because their guest lists are intimate doesn't mean the parties are any less aesthetically pleasing. In fact, they're usually gorgeous whatever their size. Even more impressive? Though some A-listers enlist the help of a bridal shower planner, plenty take the route that everyone else does: A friend or a family member typically hosts and helps plan this special event. The only difference is that their loved ones are often creatives themselves, which results in a celebration that is the definition of Instagram-worthy—and perfectly showcases each bride-to-be's personality. From small backyard parties to a shower at Tiffany's, each of these celebrity events gives us a glimpse into our favorite stars' big days that we may not have been privy to, otherwise.

If anything, the following celebrity bridal showers are yet another example of how these famous future-brides are not so different from everyone else. While we're used to seeing these stars dressed to the nines at award shows, it's evident that not all celebrities need the glitz and glam to have a great time with their friends and family.
