WITH LOVE From Essex Fill your day with items from the county’s most talented creatives MEET KATE LAW OF BUTTERFLY WEDDING STATIONERY Tell us about your company… I offer bespoke handmade stationery for every special moment of your wedding. In 2013, I began selling my butterfly paper craft to friends and family and grew my network through Facebook. One day I received a message asking if I could make butterfly wedding invitations, and the business was born! With my attention to detail and creativity, I work hard to bring my customer’s ideas to life in a personal, friendly way. I offer free consultations and I’m happy to adapt an existing design or produce something bespoke. What’s your favourite product you offer? Invitations are my favourite product, as they offer a first glimpse of a wedding and create that initial impression for guests. I enjoy collaborating with my clients and creating every element, seeing them all ready to send is so exciting. Why should couples choose Essex suppliers for their wedding? Local suppliers give you the chance to have something unique. My personal service builds lasting relationships with my couples – that’s something we offer over national firms. If you could design a product for a celebrity, who would it be? I’d pick someone like Jennifer Aniston, I think she’d want something unusual and creative. I might even get to travel to America!

Why should couples choose Essex suppliers for their wedding? I think it’s important for couples to meet their suppliers. I work with every customer to create an accessory that expresses their personality and works in harmony with their overall look.
