Old Down Estate Orangery Ceremony

The day kicked off with a ceremony in the orangery. Claudette and Jonathan kept things simple when it came to the decor, so as not to detract from the impressive views of the Severn River landscape. A trellis adorned with greenery, and pale pink roses stood at the foot of the aisle, where Claudette and Jonathan exchanged vows. “Our officiant sent us both a questionnaire to fill out, and when she was creating the ceremony, she used lots of our answers and memories in it, which really made it special,” Claudette says.
