Adding a special touch to collecting cards on your big day!

My husband is all absorbed with the World Cup, even going so far as to demand dinner to be from a different participant country each night!  I meanwhile am busy looking at all things weddings.

Have just sourced another vintage suitcase to decorate for a special brides wedding.  Vintage suitcases are ever popular at weddings to use as table planners, card boxes or both combined.

Here's one I decorated previously: -

It got me thinking of what else would make a lovely vestibule for all of the well wishing cards received on your big day!  With time on my hands I went searching!

How about a wicker lobster pot for a seaside/nautical wedding?

I really think this would look fantastic and could be used as a garden feature after the special day to remind you forever more of all the wonderful wishes you were sent by your guests!

How about a dolls house?  If you have or know someone with the skills you could make one to match your new marital home or even a miniature wedding venue?

Lots of options on Ebay

For a rustic affair I have tried to steer away from the obligatory apple crates.  What about a hessian sack?  You can pretty it up with some raffia or ribbon and even stitch or paint your initials on it.  They are cheap as chips.  Check them out at you local garden centre or online.

Anything that is used to store things can be adapted to use as a card collector.  It's up to you and your imagination.  Remember to contact Loveletters to create you some hand painted letters to say 'CARDS' or contact us and will create you a bespoke suitcase to include ribbon and decorations to exactly match your colour scheme.
