    Lorie was fabulous to work with. As the mother of the bride, she was very cognizant to keep within our budget. She is very knowledgeable about flowers and where to buy them. She also did all of our decoration, as we were able to rent them from her. I would 100% recommend her for a wedding or big event.

    After meeting with Midwest Simple our daughter walks out of the consultation session in full smiles and giggles, then talks about the experience and how in LOVE she is with the entire thing. Her next words are... I am trusting her to make my vision come to life and I know it will be PERFECT! Great job Lorie Stanton, you truly are the best at what you do and have the experience to pull it off and make dreams come true!

    Lorie was amazing to work with!!! She brought my vision for my wedding to reality and made the day so magical! Having worked with her at another institution, I knew I could trust her. And as soon as I got engaged, contacting them was one of the first things I did (even before officially setting the date). There were so many complements on the flowers and decor, it was beyond my expectations! You cannot go wrong with hiring Midwest Simple for your big

Midwest Simple began after a whirlwind season of joy, three of my daughters were married within 18 months. Three weddings, three unique styles, three different states. Helping each of them bring their wedding vision to life using creative, affordable decor and beautiful florals sparked something special in me. Friends and family had been asking for help with their own celebrations, and after nearly two decades of designing and styling, I realized this gift was meant to be shared. That’s how Midwest Simple was born-out of love for creating beauty in meaningful, budget-conscious ways.
