Sale and Tommy Giovannelli celebrated with loved ones\u00a0back home.<\/p>\n<p>The couple, both aged 30, opted for a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/articles\/destination-wedding-shouldnt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">destination wedding <\/a>in September, so the bride\u2019s elderly grandparents, unable to travel, could be involved. \u201cFollowing that we had a wonderful wedding part in London with all our friends and family,\u201d explains the groom.<\/p>\n<p>They chose a large hall space to host their 150 guests on November 5, 2016 with the aim of creating a relaxed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingDecorations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">winter wedding vibe<\/a>. \u201cWe decorated the space ourselves with festoon lights and various other bits either from IKEA or borrowed from family,\u201d say Francesca. \u201cWe also had a few separate rooms off the hall so family could step away from the music and catch up while sitting on couches and relaxing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guests were treated to roaming canapes, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/PhotoBooth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photo booth<\/a> and an acoustic music duo. \u201cThey played an amazing few sets and then we had the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingMusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">venue DJ<\/a> play some great music to get everyone busting some shapes,\u201d smiles the bride. \u201cThe wedding is exactly what we wanted, and we managed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/articles\/wedding-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keep the budget low<\/a> while having an amazing time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Photography by Tarik\" href=\"http:\/\/www.photographybytarik.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Photography by
