Why did you choose this TV/movie couple and what’s your fascination with them?
Schitt’s Creek is one of my favorite comfort shows that I return to over and over – in which David and Patrick’s love story especially warrants rewatching. Their relationship, built on mutual respect, vulnerability and growth, is genuinely moving – and I find myself rewatching their arc again and again. The two of them also perfectly embody the idea that “opposites attract”: David is dramatic and fashion-forward, while Patrick is grounded and understated. I thought that dynamic would inspire a visually rich and contrasting wedding suite. That kind of juxtaposition also mirrors the broader theme of the show – the worldly, designer-donning Rose family learning to adapt and connect in a quaint and quirky town that’s their opposite in every way.
Describe your design in detail.
This suite is a marriage (pun intended!) of David and Patrick’s sensibilities – balancing Patrick’s traditional charm with David’s flair for opulence and the avant-garde. The black invitation nods to the “black” dress code from their on-screen wedding, while the welcome party card is styled like Rosebud Motel stationery, playing into the casual, “soft launch” vibe of the weekend – complete with a doodled quote, “Wine not the label” from David. The brunch card features a checkered border inspired by Café Tropical’s linoleum floors, where the farewell event is set. A motel key-shaped website insert card and a reply envelope that channels the retro charm of the town further root the suite in the show’s quirky, small-town aesthetic. The fashion – especially David’s dramatic wardrobe – also informed the suite’s bold visual direction.
