This Stylist Bride Wore Custom Schiaparelli to Marry in the Santa Susana Mountains
Celebrity stylist Liat Baruch and NBC Universal media executive David Vickter were set up by mutual friends in the summer of 2021 after a long-anticipated introduction. “I was traveling quite a bit at the time, so we started off as friends,” Liat, whose clients include Kirsten Dunst and the Richie sisters—she was the mastermind behind Sofia Richie Grainge’s viral wedding wardrobe—remembers. “But we quickly found ourselves spending most of our free time together. Whether it was grabbing coffee, running errands, meeting for lunch, or venting about the dating scene in LA over drinks, we always found an excuse to hang out.”
Eventually, their relationship evolved into a real-life When Harry Met Sally…story. “In November of 2024, we decided to give ‘us’ a real shot—and it just clicked,” Liat remembers. “We’re still best friends who genuinely love doing life together…only now, we get to do it as partners.”
The two got engaged in March of 2025. On Sunday mornings, they’d made a tradition of hiking Fryman Canyon, and on this particular Sunday, Liat geared up in her weighted vest and ankle weights, ready for their usual loop—but David suggested they take a quieter, less-traveled trail to the top. “It was one of those perfect LA days—clear skies, warm sun, and not a soul in sight,” Liat recalls. “As we reached a secluded spot overlooking the horizon, the world felt completely still. The only sounds were the birds and the soft breeze around us.”
And then, David proposed. “I was so surprised and overwhelmed with joy, that all I could say was, ‘This is so cool! And, of course, yes!’ which somehow felt exactly right.” They completed the trail, reveling in the moment, and letting their big news sink in before telling anyone. “It was simple, beautiful, and completely us,” Liat recalls.
Shortly after their engagement, they set their wedding date for June 15, 2025 at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in the Santa Susana Mountains—and jumped right into planning mode, which they somehow pulled off in just two and a half months. “Thankfully, we had Rikki and Mal to help plan and coordinate everything, and it all came together so smoothly,” Liat explains. “With both of us juggling full schedules, we knew from the start that we needed support. Bringing in people we trusted to help guide the vision, handle the details, and make the whole experience feel fun—instead of overwhelming!—was key.”
The couple was intentional about making the wedding feel very “them”—from the location to the music to the food. “There were moments of stress—as there always are—but overall, we tried to stay grounded in what the day was really about: celebrating our love with the people we care about most,” the bride says.
From the beginning, Liat had a clear sense of what she wanted: to get married outdoors, under the stars. “I envisioned something romantic and warm—with candlelight, meaningful lighting, and lots of flowers. And I knew the dance floor had to be full all night, bursting with love and joy. So music was a big priority, too.” It all came together just the way they had hoped. “The setting was breathtaking—lush, green, and naturally enclosed by tall trees, creating an intimate, sacred atmosphere,” Liat says. “Our chuppah was whimsical and meaningful: crafted from natural branches with a tallit tied to the top, honoring tradition in the most beautiful way. Floral designer Stephanie Schur adorned it with soft green and white flowers that complemented the surroundings perfectly, blending seamlessly into the landscape. It felt organic, and romantic.”
As a stylist, when it came time to curate her wedding weekend wardrobe, Liat had plenty of options at her fingertips. But for her, Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli was what she’d always dreamed about. “Daniel is a very dear friend of mine and, to me, a pure genius,” the bride explains. “His designs feel ethereal and fantastical—like stepping into a story. There is incredible depth in both his artistry and his character, and I feel a kindred connection to him. His dresses are daring yet effortlessly embody femininity.”
Liat had loved one particular dress for quite some time, and together she and Daniel created a look that was equal parts him, her, and Schiaparelli. “It’s both classic and bold, and I feel truly humbled to have worn him, and Schiaparelli on my wedding day,” she says. “It perfectly captured how I felt in that moment.”
For jewelry, the stylist turned to Fred Leighton. “I’ve known Rebecca Selva at Fred Leighton for over 25 years,” she says. “She has been part of my life—and the lives of my closest friends—through so many of our biggest milestones. When I got engaged, she was the first person I called for our wedding bands. I paired the dress with Fred Leighton 19th-century-old mine-diamond chandelier earrings.”
