Kara Smith and Nick Walker’s Santa Ynez Wedding
Photo: Pat Martin and M. Corey Witted1/20Getting ready for the ceremony. I wanted to look like a snowy angel for that and a vampire for the reception, which was slightly embarrassing to explain to my makeup artist, Sarah Uslan. I wore a tiered and flowing romantic dress by Houghton.

I had them brought to the room that he and his wedding party were getting ready in, along with a plate of caviar, mini Coronas, and 12 black toothbrushes. He gave me a wedding band from the 1920s that looks almost identical to his band.
