Bring on the creativity.
Greetings, Comrade's Founder and Creator, Frances, offers a bespoke 'styling' service for weddings and other important events. This came into being after years of making (and being commissioned to make) elaborate Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday, baby and Valentine's Day cards, hen books, place cards, guest books for friends' weddings, and a 'finger-print' tree for a friend's baby-naming ceremony. She then 'creatively stylised' her own wedding (see below).
Please be in touch if you would like to discuss your wedding, bar/bat-mitzvah, corporate event, hen party, baby shower, birthday bash or any other event at which you would like to incorporate some creative flair. Frances is happy either to work with your appointed florist, caterer, stationery supplier or event planner, or to recommend these services to you.

An Autumnal Wedding...
For my own wedding, I worked with our wonderful, award-winning florists, Hayford and Rhodes to create a 'table tree' - my idea for an interactive substitute to a two-dimensional table plan. The tree was the focal point of our reception, providing guests an on-theme and fun way to find out which table they would be sitting on.
I also designed the save-the-dates, invitations, menus, prayer books, wedding 'programme' booklets, and table numbers. I had scented candles made - each bearing a sticker with a personal message and our 'signature' leaves. Each was wrapped in one of several 'autumnal' Liberty's of London fabrics that I carefully chose. Our ushers' ties were also hand-made using a range of autumnal Liberty's print. I loved working with fellow craftswomen and my favourite, fantastic printers - Tadberry Evedale - to produce these items, which made our wedding totally original, so fun to arrange and - I believe - very enjoyable for our guests.
My piece-de-resistance was our epic 'table tree' - an elaborate alternative to a table plan. Each guest's name was printed and hand-stamped with their table number (the day before the wedding!) on over 35 pieces of bark, laced to a piece of transparent paper with a wooden letter to guide guests, by surname, to the right bark. Guests loved the 'game' of finding their table number and the table-tree acted as an excellent conversational piece in the drinks reception, which took place whilst the ceremony room was being transformed into a dining room.
