Aster & Rose

About the company

Aster & Rose, founded by Nicola Ward, specialises in bespoke illustrations for personalised stationery. Whether it’s for an event, a wedding or just a moment in time to capture to say thank you to a loved one or a beautiful sketch of your newborn, Aster & Rose has you covered.

Nicola, based in a small town in North Wales, started Aster & Rose following the birth of her third child. She always wanted to work in the world of art, but never quite knew where to start. Having studied Law at university and found her way to working in the Mental Health ward in the NHS, it was fair to say she was deprived of any creativity and had to escape! One day, she picked up a paintbrush and sketchbook and found herself again. The rest, as they say, is history. Now having worked with many UHNW clients and luxury brands, including LVMH, Nicola at Aster & Rose hand-selects special projects to work on to ensure each piece that is created is bespoke and speaks to the personality of the client. Nicola works directly with a boutique printer or prints herself, to ensure the highest quality of end product. From concept to creation, Aster & Rose will hold your hand throughout the creative process.

Bespoke illustrations are the passion however Aster & Rose is also a very adaptable designer who can also work to Corporate brand guidelines to produce sleek, information collateral.
