Wedding tips from celebrities who have been there

Planning a wedding can be stressful for anyone, no matter what type of budget you are working with. Some of the best advice you can get is from those who have been there before, and a few celebrities have shared their tips and tricks about wedding planning, according to The Huffington Post.

Michelle Obama: Invite who you want to
Michelle Obama tied the knot with President Barack Obama back in 1992, and she believes that no matter who they are, couples should invite who they want to because it is their personal and private day.

Carrie Underwood: Take it slow
Country star Carried Underwood does not believe in rushed nuptials. In fact, when she heard about Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth?'s engagement, she told Extra TV that the two should stay engaged for awhile and take the wedding planning slowly. Underwood said "I do" to hockey player Mike Fisher in 2010.

Claire Danes: Make sure to sleep the night before
When Claire Danes married Hugh Dancy back in 2009, she couldn't get any sleep the night before. As a result, the biggest advice she would give is to make sure you get a good night's sleep, according to New York Magazine. If it is hard to snooze, consider taking a sleeping pill because you do not want to be groggy when you say "I do" the following day.

Tori Spelling: Be careful of families interfering
Tori Spelling walked down the aisle six years ago when she married her hubby Dean McDermott, but this isn't the only wedding planning experience she has. The actress and reality TV starlet also helps brides and grooms plan their nuptials on her show "sTORIbook Weddings," and she's noticed a few things in the process.

"Brides were being influenced by family and friends a lot, and they all were trying to figure out how to have their dreams. They didn't know quite how to manage their family and their bridesmaids because everyone wanted what they wanted," Spelling told Yahoo! News.

Brides- and grooms-to-be who feel overwhelmed about meeting all of the demands of friends and family can also take a page out of Kate Winslet's book and have a secret wedding ceremony. Winslet's wedding only included her two children and very few friends and family this past December, Us Weekly reports. Winslet married for the third time to Ned Rocknroll, who is the nephew of Virgin Group billionaire Richard Branson.
