A look inside this romantic late summer wedding at St. Giles House in Dorset, England
, met Max Marten through family friends when they were just six years old. They stayed close over the years and ultimately started dating in 2015 when they were both 26. Max, who now works in sustainable real estate, eventually asked Ruth to marry him in 2019 while they were on safari in Kenya. “Anyone who knows Ruth knows that she loves the cat family, particularly lions,” Max says. “So I arranged for us to stay at Elsa’s Kopje, where Elsa the lion raised her cubs.
The couple’s civil wedding took place in early August of 2021 at York House in Richmond, and was followed by lunch and an after-party with family and very close friends at the Laylow on Portobello Road in West London. What the couple refer to as their “real wedding” took place a week later atin Dorset. St. Giles House was the home of Max’s great-grandmother, Lady Mary Sibell Ashley-Cooper, who was the daughter of the 9th Earl of Shaftsbury and married Napier Sturt.
Even though the pandemic presented difficulties, the combination of Max’s organizational skills paired with Ruth’s close eye for detail made the planning process enjoyable. “As a jewelry designer whose main inspiration is architecture, St. Giles House itself was the inspiration behind the style of dress I chose,” Ruth explains. The bride designed her wedding dress herself and worked with a seamstress in North London to have it made.
“I was fortunate to work with Vicki Sarge, a highly esteemed jeweler I have known for many years, and she designed jewelry for me to wear throughout the weekend,” the bride says. Ruth designed her own wedding band, taking the Pilastro III ring from her debut collection and altering it to fit with her engagement ring. She also wore an antique tiara that has been in Max’s family for generations. Alice Howlett, a friend of Ruth’s, did her hair and makeup.
