TilDeath is a collaboration of Legend Bridal, Vicky Dubois Photography and Maddison Rocks Floral.

The Dark fairy-tale of York Cemetery.

What started out as a group of TilDeath suppliers taking advantage of being in the same place at the same time, turned into an incredibly meaningful and teary day.

It’s no surprise that several of the TilDeath tribe would be in Whitby for Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival; either vending or simply enjoying the weekend. So we decided to try and take advantage of the opportunity…
