Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- December 2021/January 2022 (Issue 30)

FOR BOTH YOUR EYES ONLY Meet the expert: Libby Clark is a wedding, family and boudoir photographer based in Devizes, Wiltshire. I’m considering booking a boudoir shoot to surprise my hubby-to-be. Can you tell me what to expect? Libby says: I’m now offering boudoir photo shoots in the comfort of your home for a limited time only at an introductory offer! A 90-minute shoot with five digital files to keep afterwards and more available to purchase costs £100 and makes a wonderful keepsake for you and your partner! We sometimes feel under pressure to look our best, keep in good shape, achieve perfect skin and have a healthy body, but our bodies come in all shapes and sizes and they deserve to be celebrated. The most attractive woman is a confident one and a boudoir shoot will do so much for your body confidence. You might want to capture yourself on camera because you’ve just reached a milestone birthday or are pregnant. The shoots happen in the privacy of your home so that you’re comfortable and have control. We will experiment with different looks and outfits in various areas of your home. The shoot is all about you and the results will be fantastic!

We’re looking for some wedding theme inspiration – what were the most popular wedding aesthetics for 2021 on Instagram? Adam and Tom say: Research into popular wedding-related hashtags have revealed a rising interest in a new design trend known as Rustic Vogue. Research shows that #rusticweddings has been used on 2,164,541 Instagram posts this past year and that #rusticweddingdecor and #rusticweddingideas are also growing in popularity, with 261,243 and 27,055 posts respectively. Further research also reveals that Rustic Vogue has also risen in search popularity within the last six months, and is continuing to do so as the year draws to a close. While there are always several factors that influence design trends like this one, likely, the surge in interest for rustic aesthetics for people planning weddings will be down to continued social lockdowns during winter. People’s focuses and what they think are important have shifted – many couples getting married are no longer opting for lavish, grand affairs, instead preferring simple, family-focused ceremonies and celebrations.” The Hairpin Leg Co | 01666 818 222 www.thehairpinlegcompany.co.uk www.facebook.com/thehairpinlegco www.instagram.com/thehairpinlegco 58 www.gettyimages.co.uk
