with Frances Ledgewood

Mentorship

With 20 years in the wedding industry and a decade running Ledgewood Fine Stationery, I’ve learned what it takes to turn a creative passion into a thriving, profitable business. Now, I take on a select number of 1:1 mentees each year to share those lessons, offer fresh perspective, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Whether you need quick direction, a deep dive into your business, or ongoing support, mentorship is fully tailored to you—your goals, your challenges, and your vision.

What We Can Work On

Caroline fulton, Word for word designs

As a fellow stationer, Frances has so much great wisdom to share, and I found the mentorship call with her to be so useful. We were able to dissect a part of my business I wanted feedback on, and we really went into detail to help me improve my systems. Frances is truly such a joy to work with and there is so much to learn from her!

Frances helped me thoughtfully refine my systems and brought clarity to my business.

A Note from

Having navigated nearly every speed bump along the way, from underpricing and overbooking to team growth and luxury positioning, I understand the real challenges that come with building a small creative business. There is no judgment here, only clarity and forward movement.

I am deeply passionate about small businesses, about the women behind them, and about the artistry of stationery. My desire is not just to help you work harder, but to help you build smarter, lead confidently, and create a business that feels steady, profitable, and life giving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the mentorship options?

I offer several mentorship options depending on the level of support you are seeking. The 1:1 Strategy Intensive is a focused one hour session designed to address your biggest bottleneck, with a questionnaire completed beforehand so our time together is intentional and productive. Ongoing Mentorship is available through monthly or quarterly calls for the stationer who desires accountability, long term growth, and consistent refinement within their business. For those wanting a deeper dive, the VIP Day provides a curated experience either at my studio or via Zoom, allowing dedicated time for business strategy, portfolio review, systems evaluation, and creative direction.

WHAT IF I AM JUST STARTING MY BUSINESS?

First of all, I am so proud of you. Choosing to invest in your business early is one of the wisest decisions you can make.

I often wish I had sought mentorship sooner in my own journey. There were lessons I learned the long way, pricing missteps, workflow struggles, and growing pains that could have been softened with guidance. My goal is to help you build on a strong foundation from the beginning, so you can move forward with clarity instead of confusion.

This is a space where you can learn from my experience, avoid unnecessary headaches, and gain confidence as you step into this industry. Starting well matters, and you do not have to figure it all out alone.

Do you offer payment plans?

I understand that investing in your business is a meaningful decision, and I deeply respect the thought that goes into it. Because this experience is intentionally curated and limited, payment plans are not offered. The investment is required in full to reserve your place.

How do I know if I am ready for mentorship?

If you are asking the question, you likely are.

Mentorship is not about having everything figured out. It is about being willing to grow, receive honest feedback, and take action. Whether you are refining systems or preparing to step into a higher level of clientele, readiness begins with openness.

What if I feel behind compared to other stationers?

You are not behind. You are on your timeline.

Comparison can be loud in our industry, but mentorship is a private, focused space tailored specifically to your business. We will meet you exactly where you are and build forward from there.
