'It was so nice,' Vanessa told British Vogue. 'I really do recommend people just going off and doing it on their own.'
Emmanuel said of their special day: 'Obviously Vanessa is pregnant, and it's nearly Christmas, so things have been hectic, so we kept putting it off.
'Then we realised if we didn't sort something soon, it wasn't going to happen.'
Vanessa revealed finding her bridal dress was a rush and it wasn't made easy by her changing figure.
She said: 'It's so funny, because you imagine what you're going to get married in, and for a registry I thought I'd wear some sort of cool suit, but being pregnant, that was never going to work.
'When I tried on the dress, I knew it had to be it. It was just one of those moments where it clicked.'
Vanessa did her own hair and accessorised with a vintage inspired hairband from Jennifer Behr and wore Christian Louboutins, while her bridal bouquet was made up of calla lilies.
The singer then changed into a Norma Kamali gown for their dinner at Alex Dilling at the Hotel Café Royal, with the chef closing the restaurant just for their exclusive use.
