As a Bride from New Orleans, I knew that a glam team would be a top priority for the big day! I have worked as an Event Planner & executed many weddings and have been a bridesmaid a dozen times. I could really appreciate the importance that a t...imely, talented hair/makeup team is to a successful “getting ready” time!
After having decided to have a wedding in my Groom's hill-country hometown of New Braunfels, I was worried I wouldn't find a glam team that fit my esthetic. I was also planning our wedding from our new home in WA state so I had limited time to meet with vendors! I scoured The Knot & found Southern Tease.
From the first email to the wedding day Megan was prompt in her responses, caring in her approach & open for all of my ideas! Megan & I agreed that a test look would be best since I would be in NB such a limited time & seeing her work in person would be the best way to decide if she was a good fit for me. During our consultation Megan listened to the vision I had for my Bridal “look” & created a lovely look on the spot!
Megan and I came up with a a plan to accommodate all of the Maids, moms, & ladies in my wedding. Megan completely understood that my ladies would want everything from full glam to simple pretty. She was not phased & ensured me that her team’s goal was to make each lady feel beautiful, whatever that meant.
Her team was prompt & ready to go upon arriving. Megan and the makeup team work with airbrush makeup that LASTS all night! We started early in the morning to be ready for 2pm for pictures. My makeup made it through the hour ceremony, the 6+ hour reception, the afterparty and the 107 degree TX HEAT! The airbrush looked fantastic in photos & the video!
Megan had prepared a schedule beforehand so every lady was in the right place at the right time to get the look they wanted. She made sure her team knew ahead of time what look each lady was after and no one was told “I can’t do that”. As someone this had happened to, I knew NOTHING is more frustrating than paying for a look and not getting what you want.
My own hairstyle was intricate & I was very specific about the style that I envisioned. I didn’t have a photo of exactly what it should look like, instead I had a mishmash of ideas. Having not been able to do a hair test with Megan’s team before the wedding day, I was honestly petrified about my Bridal hair outcome. I normally do intricate hairstyle to myself & am meticulous, however I wanted to relax on the day. Since I was planning my wedding from far away, I couldn’t make it to NB for a hair test & my hair was one of the things I knew the Groom would most appreciate or dislike. The INCREDIBLE, side braid hairstyle that was created for me was more than I could have imagined. The style included a headpiece that was woven within the braid. I was complimented the entire day/evening on it and the look HELD all day/night!
Megan & Southern Tease are the only glam squad to use if you’re getting married in the New Braunfels area! The team is on time, skilled, listens to each lady, gives final touches to everyone before they go, & cares that each woman feels their most beautiful, from Bride on. Megan is a caring vendor and was available & understanding each and every time I reached out. She handled a pre-wedding misunderstanding like a best friend & made me feel like I was her most important Bride! Don’t miss out on the chance to work with Megan and the Southern Tease team!
