Decor Idea: Cigar Box

A few weeks ago when my mother-in-law was in town we visited a fun restaurant/antique store called Red Rooster. I love browsing antiques and I came across something that I just couldn't pass up. I am now the proud owner a vintage cigar box. I am storing all my favorite earrings in the box and love sliding the box open and digging around for the right pair. Check out my $8 cigar box:

Sorry for the photo quality. Thank you though iPhone. Instagram makes my day brighter. While selecting my earrings yesterday I thought how fun it would be to incorporate my cigar box into a wedding. You could use the box to hold cards, store favors for guests, use as a centerpiece, place flowers in it and keep the rings safe. You could even hand out cigars as your wedding favor. The possibilities are endless! I love that their is wedding inspiration all around us.

I took to the web and found a few pictures of cigar boxes that were used throughout other brides weddings.

What do you think about cigar boxes? Have you ever used them or thinking about using them for your big day? I enjoy how simple and inexpensive it is. Try browsing garage sales, any thrift store or the always popular Etsy. Cigar boxes it is!
