Hannah Trahan

"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.
