29 May How Southern Vine & Co.’s Website Refresh Reflects Their Evolving Brand

In 2016, Sarah Miller, the owner of Southern Vine & Co., approached us to design a website for her event planning and interior design business. Already an accomplished planner, Sarah needed a site that showcased her skills while also highlighting her expertise in real estate. We created a solid foundation with that website—one designed to grow with her business and evolve alongside her. That original site served her well for eight years. But a new vision emerged in 2025, prompting the need for a website refresh.

Why a Website Refresh Was Needed

Over the years, Southern Vine & Co has grown and shifted, and Sarah knew her brand and website needed to keep pace. As they attracted larger event planning clients, the site needed to reflect this shift and position them firmly in the luxury design space.

As Sarah’s business increasingly centered on large-scale events, particularly for corporate clients, the website needed to better represent this new direction. It was time to showcase not only weddings but also sophisticated corporate events using imagery and messaging that reflected the grandeur of her most recent projects.

Our Approach to the Redesign

We knew that in order to capture the luxury and elegance, we had to update both the look and functionality of the site. The first step was to refresh the photography. We worked to choose images that showcased large-scale, high-end events, allowing the photography to tell the story of Southern Vine & Co’s work in a powerful way.

Next, we updated the fonts to match the modern, upscale aesthetic of the brand. We aimed for a design that didn’t overshadow the photography but instead allowed the images and event designs to take center stage. This minimalistic approach ensured the site felt sleek, polished, and focused on what truly matters—Sarah’s incredible work.

We also made sure to include testimonials that reflect their strong presence within the industry, building credibility and trust with potential clients. The new site is mobile-responsive, easy to navigate, and SEO-optimized, with room to expand as her business grows.

The Final Result

The redesigned website now more accurately represents the scale and sophistication of Southern Vine &  Co, from weddings to corporate gatherings. It’s a site that appeals to the high-end clientele they are targeting, while still offering flexibility for future additions. Some of our clients choose to add a blog, an online shop, or more, so we always create a solid foundation where these can be added in the future.
