Things I Love

about me.....

I enjoy spending time with my husband, Josh and our four boys, rescuing animals, playing on the beach, attending sporting events, and entertaining family and friends in our home. We live, work and play in beautiful Benzie County. 

"If you are looking for someone who's well acquainted with the community, can make non-agenda driven recommendations, design gorgeous flower arrangements and beautifully stylize and coordinate your event-Kristi Mills of Simply Exquisite by the Bay is your answer " - Danielle

"Amazing job for our big day 6/17/17!  Kristi was wonderful to work with, she helped pull it all together. She was a great reference for other vendors as well. The day would not have happened without her and her team. The flowers were gorgeous and better than I imagined. If you are having a Northern Michigan Wedding, contact her."
- Heather Gilroy

"The bouquets she created were so gorgeous, I am the last of three sisters to get married and everyone agreed Kristi's floral arrangements were the best any of us had seen! Even if you don't need wedding coordination services-hire Kristi for flowers! She is the best." - Laura

" We can't recommend Kristi Mills highly enough. She is sharp, professional, organized and a pleasure to deal wit. We had a destination wedding with many moving parts that required almost constant coordination of vendors and personnel. Kristi coordinated it all seamlessly. She was exactly what we needed, and our wedding would not have been the same without her."
- David
