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.”
Meanwhile, the bride’s sisters wore Rodarte. “I ve known Laura and Kate Mulleavy for a long time, and I wanted them to be part of this day,” Liat says. “I love their dreamlike dresses and wanted my sisters to look like springtime flowers. My brother wore a Ralph Lauren Purple Label white linen suit with Brunello Cucinelli loafers.”
The ceremony was both traditional and heartfelt. David walked down the aisle with his parents, followed by the couple’s siblings, and then Liat walked with her parents. “In a meaningful Jewish custom, David met me halfway to place my veil—a sacred and intimate moment,” Liat says. “Together, we continued to the chuppah, the marriage canopy, where Rabbi Feinstein led the ceremony with all the traditional blessings.”
The bride recited a prayer, and the groom delivered a speech—full of grace and sincerity. “After he broke the glass,” Liat remembers. “Then, we kissed, everyone cheered, and the celebration began! Everyone always says, ‘Take it all in—it goes by so fast.’ So I was warned. And I listened. I took it all in—holding David’s hands, standing between my parents and siblings, looking out at the faces of everyone who helped shape me. Each person there had played a part in who I’ve become and the journey that led me to that exact moment. It was me and David—but it was also all of us, together. I felt that. I held onto that. And I will carry it with me forever.”
Afterwards, guests made their way to the reception. “It felt like a dream,” Liat says. “Candlelight flickered across the checkered dance floor, and pewter vases and candlesticks brought a sense of Old World charm that felt both elevated and deeply personal.” The tables were draped in striped linens, then scattered with fresh fruit and wild, romantic flowers. “It was as if the whole setting had been plucked from a storybook but made just for us,” Liat adds. String lights glowed above as the sun set and a breeze rolled in. “It was the kind of breeze you hope for but never expect,” Liat says. “It felt like nature itself was joining the celebration.”
The bride’s best friends Jedidiah Jenkins and Nicole Richie MC’ed the evening. “They set the tone with warmth, humor, and so much love,” Liat says. “I danced with my dad for Father’s Day, and my sisters jumped in—one of those moments I’ll never forget. David danced with his mom, and my brother gave a speech that was heartfelt and unforgettable. Our closest friends stood up and spoke—it all felt so full of love. And then we danced. We really danced.”
In fact, they danced until the last song—“Mr. Brightside,” by the Killers. “My cousin lifted me on his shoulders, and I was surrounded by a circle of our people singing their hearts out and jumping around me!” Liat remembers. “I cry thinking of that moment as I was turned in circles and saw all their faces, I took it all in, each smiling face. It was perfect!”
