Wedding card box

My friend has exhausted her wedding funds that is in two weeks, as her Maid of honor I offered to buy and make the box where people can put wedding cards. It's not finished yet, I'm going to put a burlap ribbon around the middle of the base, and use a few flowers (not all of the ones pictured) to group together so that the section where the burlap ends meet is covered up. What do you think?
