When I mention dark tourism, there are two main reactions I get: a look of sheer horror and disgust, or one of surprise and interest.

I began to look at places that piqued my interest, sparked a sense of wonder, or ignited the need to find out why certain events took place, both past and present.

It was hard to find any tours or packages that catered to this and that allowed the flexibility to create something truly unique to my interests. I wanted to visit places from my favourite horror novels or movies, see where cultural events took place, and visit the scenes of crimes (both war and criminal).

As we bid farewell to another year and welcome the dawn of a new one, we at TilDeath couldn’t be more thrilled to extend our warmest wishes to all the awesome couples who weave darkness into our ever evolving tapestry.

Welcome to this gothic wedding shoot organised by Garnet Weddings and captured by Gem Wright Photography, a mesmerizing blend of black and white; where every detail is meticulously crafted to embrace the dark beauty and unique charm of this gothic style. This extraordinary event is accented by elements of spider webs, skulls and two captivating brides - one adorned in black, the other in white - creating a striking visual contrast that enchants the soul.

When it comes to creating memorable experiences, our exclusive VIP goody bags have certainly made a lasting impression at the Gothic Luxe Wedding Fair. Handing them over to our guests, the first reactions were consistently ones of delight and surprise: “oh, that waaay heavier than I expected!” Indeed, these bags were brimming with wonders, offering more than just a token of appreciation - they were a treasure trove of delights waiting to be explored.

Entrance showcase is a collaboration of Eva Rose Weddings, Maddison Rocks Floral, Valkyrie Cakes and Birdhouse197

The Gothic Luxe Wedding Fair was held last month at the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall and it has left an indelible mark on all of us, both visitors and vendors alike. A celebration of love wrapped in a dark and untraditional atmosphere. The success of this show has left us buzzing with excitement and we couldn’t let the excitement fade without sharing more of the event with you.
