Description
This wooden keepsake box is made to hold a wedding certificate, and its lid says so. The top carries a white panel with "wedding certificate" printed in soft grey typewriter letters between two small hearts, set into the natural brown wood of the box. On the front, two white hearts marked MR and MRS hang side by side from a little tied bow of rustic cord. It is a neat rectangular box, 23cm long, 6.2cm across and 6.6cm high, slim enough to sit on a narrow shelf without taking over.
We see it on a bedroom shelf, a dressing table or a bookcase in the living room, or tucked into a drawer with the rest of your wedding papers. Its long, slim shape suits a certificate rolled to fit, so it is worth checking your own document against that 23cm length. As a wedding gift it is a thoughtful choice, both practical and sentimental, and the MR and MRS hearts make the occasion plain to anyone who sees it. It is just as welcome in your own home once the vows are said, giving the certificate a proper place rather than a folder at the back of a cupboard.
The box opens on a hinged lid, with two small hinges along the back, and the two hearts hang from the front edge of the lid. Inside it is plain brown and unlined, leaving the full length clear for the certificate. The outside has a natural wood finish that lets the grain show, with the white lid panel giving a soft contrast. Dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as you would any wooden piece. For a wedding gift, slip a handwritten card inside the lid so it is found the first time the box is opened.
