The Sussex Wedding Postbox is a genuine, vintage cast iron Royal Mail Postbox manufactured in Machan, Scotland. Unlike most wedding postboxes advertised for hire (which are fibreglass replicas), the Sussex Wedding Postbox  is a fully original Royal Mail postbox that was once in public use.

​

The Royal Mail used to sell off its Postboxes to private collectors when they were no longer required, but this practice ended back in 2003. There are therefore now only a very limited number of these vintage items in private hands, and even fewer for hire.

 

The Sussex Wedding Postbox has been professionally restored and re-painted in a vintage white with silver lettering.  It is made from cast iron and weighs approximately 20kg, making it very stable and secure. Whilst it is a heavy item, it can generally be lifted by one strong person, or most comfortably by two people.

​

The measurements of the Postbox are 61cm tall x  32cm wide x 25cm deep.

​

It comes in its own special padded bag with handles so that it can be easily transported.

The Postbox comes complete with a personalised front plate, a ‘day plate’ for the day of the week that your Wedding falls on, and a key to allow you to collect the post at the end of the day!
