The phrase "Stars, they're just like us," is a little misleading. Though the rich and famous are, of course, human, they often experience life on a different plane—one that's the definition of luxury. It's an experience that the majority of us will never have or understand, but one that often leads to lots of glitz and glamour, especially when these A-listers mark major life events (like weddings!). Celebrity nuptials are often on another level. The lead-up is full of hype, the guest lists are star-studded, the décor is bigger—just about everything about high-profile weddings, beyond the fact that two people are promising to spend the rest of their lives together, feels out of reach to the average bride and groom.

But what if we told you that celebrity-level weddings aren't unattainable at all? Believe it or not, the majority of vendors that these A-listers hire for their own big days are available to just about everyone else, non-celebrities included. If you're interested in sharing a photographer, planner, event designer, florist, or cake baker with one of your favorite stars, you're in luck. We've rounded up several creatives for each category so you can curate your own celebrity-approved big-day team. The best part? The fact that they've been hired by the elite means that they're among the best in the business.

Ahead, get ready to discover Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's cake baker (she's available for hire in the U.K.!), Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' florist and photographer, Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich's event designer, and more. Click through to discover all of the celebrity wedding vendors that you can enlist to bring your own big day to (larger than) life.

Go Inside Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's Formal Destination Wedding

Though he boasts a slew of high-profile clients, photographer Aaron Delesie might be most famous for his work with Chrissy Teigen and John Legend: The creative shot their Lake Como, Italy, nuptials in September 2013. There's a good chance he'll also shoot yours, especially if you're planning a destination wedding (that's his specialty!).

Elizabeth Messina may be a favorite in the celebrity sphere—she's captured the weddings of Sasha Pieterse and Hudson Sheaffer, Lauren Conrad and William Tell, Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson, and more—but she's also a top choice photographer for those in the wedding industry (and that really speaks to her talent). Other top photographers, including Jose Villa, Joel Serrato, and Corbin Gurkin, have all enlisted her services when they tied the knot.

Jose Villa has been photographing celebrities' big days—he captured Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli's nuptials, which were featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, back in 2017—for years, but he's most recently made headlines for shooting Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' epic, multi-part India celebration (yep, he's the man behind that incredible veil shot!). Based in Santa Barbara, California, Villa travels all over the world to commemorate each and every one of his clients' big-day visions.

Exclusive: See "Ace of Cakes" Star Duff Goldman's Wedding Photos

It'd probably be easier to list the celebrity clients Mindy Weiss hasn't worked with. On the wedding front, she's planned the unions of Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello, Ciara and Russell Wilson, Duff Goldman and Johnna Colbry (their museum nuptials are pictured here!), and countless others; she's also a Kardashian favorite. Though she and her team are based in Los Angeles and plan weddings in Beverly Hills and Malibu, she's available for hire worldwide.

Wedding Design: Simply Troy Lifestyle + Events

If you followed Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich's Couer D'Arlene, Idaho, nuptials you were likely enamored by Troy Williams' work (that epic "I do!" confetti explosion was all him!). He's known for his acute attention—and for executing high-energy receptions (likely the result of his stint planning Academy Awards and Golden Globes parties!), which makes him a sought-after event designer for West Coast couples.

59 Wedding Arches That Will Instantly Upgrade Your Ceremony

Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith can credit the bulk of their wedding's bohemian vibe to Felisa Funes' incredible floral design—she was responsible for the duo's epic pink ceremony arch, as well as the remainder of the event's florals. The mastermind behind Of the Flowers, Funes is a trained Los Angeles-based artist who cites sculpture and painting as two leading sources of inspiration behind her work.

Floral Design: The Empty Vase

The Empty Vase kept Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cooke's stable wedding venue in mind when bringing their horseshoe-shaped ceremony backdrop, which featured pampas grass and roses, to life. Their reception work was equally as striking (the tabletop centerpieces were so luxe!). The best part? The West Hollywood florist isn't a celebrity-only entity—they're available for weddings (and even flower arranging classes!).

10 Royal Traditions to Steal for Your Own Wedding

If you're based in the U.K. you might be able to hire Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding cake baker—which means feeling like a royal on your own wedding day isn't entirely out of reach. The team at Fiona Cairns' bake shop describes working on the 2011 royal wedding cake as "our most prestigious commission" and a "once-in-a-lifetime experience." The cake, a traditional British fruitcake recipe, was also incredibly elaborate, with sugar flower detailing, multiple tiers, and gold accents. Like what you hear? You can actually give their shop a call.

Cake Baker: Violet Cakes

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nontraditional elderflower confection might resonate more with contemporary couples, which is why its creator Claire Ptak's bake shop, Violet Cakes, should be on your short list. You'll have to plan ahead, however, since Ptak has received a deluge of orders since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's May 2018 nuptials.
