Hannah Trahan
Owner and Principal Planner
In my home office reads a piece of art that says, “She designed a life she loved”… and this could not be more true! Early on, I figured out two things I wanted to become; one was a mother and the other was a wedding planner. I married my high school sweetheart in 2009, and we now have three precious babies whom I absolutely adore! I planned my first wedding in 2002, and I have planned/executed over 600 weddings since then. A few years ago, I changed my focus to design plus planning and fell love with my career even more than before. I firmly believe if you love what you do, you will never work a day in. your life!
As owner and principal planner behind every Southern Couture event, my passion is to design, plan and execute flawless events that reflect the style of the client. It is my goal that although you may not remember what I said or did, you will never forget the way I made you feel.
Favorite Things: Time with my family, a quiet bubble bath, Dr. Pepper and visiting new places!
Favorite Design Element: Beautiful flowers and being able to transform a space by personalizing each element
Favorite Wedding Moment: I have two, the Brides reaction when she sees all that we have created and the The moment right before the church doors open.
Hannah graduated from the University of Louisiana with a Bachelor of Science in Business knowing that she would one day own her own wedding planning business. She earned certifications as a Certified Wedding Specialist through Beverly Clark Enterprises, became a Professional Bridal Consultant through the Association of Bridal Consultants.
In college, she worked for The Family Church as the wedding coordinator, giving her the knowledge and experience needed to coordinate and handle ceremonies and all of the details involved.

In 2014, she fulfilled her long-time goal and opened Southern Couture Weddings, in 2019, she added full-service travel as part of Southern Couture. With the shift of her focus now being the design of the weddings she plans, she, along with her husband, launched Texture Rental Collection, a boutique rental company to offer custom builds to complete her designs and rental inventory.
Tandi Begnaud
Wedding Day Director
Event planning is perfect for my direct, yet fun-loving personality. With over fifteen years of experience planning private and corporate events, I am passionate about creating a beautiful and unique experience with you in mind. With a background in creative arts, I believe every event should be unique and specific to your personality. No matter the size, I approach each event with precise attention to detail, action-oriented coordination and creativity. I believe these qualities are the magic behind a successful event.
I’m married to my best friend, Rudy, and we have three children, who love life and believe every day is a party! In our house we are real, we create, we make mistakes, we have fun, we say I'm sorry, we are really loud, we love deeply, and we make memories!
I am grateful that I get to create and execute incredible experiences that will become special memories.
Favorite things: my family, the beach, my church, sports, sweet iced tea, a good book, flower beds, and red velvet cake.
Favorite Design Element: I love beautiful flowers and the perfect color combination, but my favorite design element is the one that makes yours unique and specific to your special day.
Favorite Wedding Tradition: Giving of the Bride; the honor of giving the Bride to her Groom is meaningful and always a special moment in the ceremony.
