Shoe box
Cardboard box for shoes worn by Sian V. Poole (nee Meredith) on her wedding to Mark A. Poole on 27 October 2007 at St Mary's Church, Marshfield. Purchased from Confetti & Lace Ltd, Festival Park Shopping Village, Ebbw Vale, on 14 October 2006 at a cost of £52.
The outside of the box is coloured white with a matt finish. The lid is bright pink with a slightly shiny coating. The makers mark is printed on the lid with the words 'GUARANTEED DYEABLE WHEN COLOURED BY RAINBOW CLUB'. On the side of the box there is a label with information about the style: DARCY, size 3.
Inside the box, the shoes have been packed with tissue to prevent the uppers from damage. The shoes are both wrapped in individual clear plastic bags. A piece of tissue is lying on the bottom of the box which has the makers name printed on it in siver ink. A strip of cardboard seperates the shoes and four pieces of foam are used as padding.
