Mandy & Jamie’s skulls and roses cottage wedding

I love it when gothic style hits another, totally different element because the result is often a really awesome blend. Think skulls, deep red roses, a coffin card box all in a rustic cottage in a small town. This bride works in the floral industry, so she knew what she didn’t want to do. They both wanted intimate, budget-friendly, and an amazing time.
