Reviews for Eden's Echo Floral Design
GUEST




Please do yourself a favor and use Eden's Echo! Erin loves what she does for a living, and it shows. Her bouquets are so unique and she is very knowledgeable on different flower options. She can work within your budget while still giving you a beautiful wedding. She is such a joy to work with and my only complaint is that she only does weddings :(. I wish I could use her anytime I needed flowers. I will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know!!!
GUEST




The most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. The color combination and types of flowers were beautiful.

When I first met with Erin, I had NO idea what I wanted so she showed me some pics and gave me some ideas to consider as well as cost estimates. When I met with Erin a 2nd time, she was very nice and met with my mom and I on very short notice (my mom had come in from out of town) to discuss possible flower arrangements. She was patient, answered all our questions, and gave us a cost estimate on everything. With Erin's help and suggestions, we decided on the flower arrangements but Erin did not have any pics with the flowers we decided on. I admit I was a bit nervous since I could not visualize what she had in mind. However, Erin knows what she is doing! I was in awe at how beautiful the simple bouquets were and it was a definite highlight of my wedding day. I was extremely happy with how the flowers turned out!

Erin is the owner and florist of this shop. She is amazing! On our first appointment, she was very professional and very personable. She is great and very easy to work with. She is very responsive, which is nice when you're dealing with different vendors for your wedding. I have never had experience planning a wedding and she was very helpful in making the floral process easy. Not only was it easy working with her, but the flowers were amazing! We had circus roses and orange calla lilies in our arrangements and they were beautiful. We did have a smaller order so we were supposed to pick them up. However, there was some confusion in our communication, so she delivered the order without charging us for it. I cannot say enough about how amazing Eden's Echo is. I highly reccomend them!

Aw thanks Vanessa! It was great working with you. Send me some pictures when you get a chance! :)

Erin was wonderful to work with! She sat with us during our first consultation for over 2 hours to help us design unique flowers! Even after we realized our guest list was going to be larger than planned, she re did our entire plan!
The day of the wedding had some changes since the wedding was moved outdoors, she was very flexible and accommodating! Not only was she able to work with our schedule but she also made my wedding flowers with extra flair that she knew I would love based on our conversations.
The flowers were fresh, the roses were big, and the flowers stayed alive well after the wedding. After I dried my flowers they still look great! The colors in the flowers were very bright and...

The flowers were my biggest upset of the night and brought me to tears before the ceremony started. Erin had contacted me the Tuesday before the wedding with pictures of these beautiful flowers that I thought were just the proto type of my flowers. However, what I did not know is that she was making the flowers for my wedding almost a week ahead of my wedding. Well, this showed when her assistant Mary showed up with them.
Erin had told me a couple weeks in advance that she had to go out of town, but not to worry as my flowers would be AMAZING! I trusted her, and felt really let down. My bouquet looked like a BM’s one because the flowers were wilted and shriveled. All the flowers in my arrangements were falling apart and looked old. I was so heartbroken about them because of the pics I saw on Tuesday showed me what they should have looked like. I had to tell my Dad to leave the venue to go to HEB, to buy fresh roses, to put in my bouquet. The next day Erin wrote me and email apologizing for them, and when I addressed how they looked, and that my father bought more roses to supplement, she never replied again. **See update below. She has replied, apologized and offered a refund.
The arrangements would have been beautiful, had the flowers upheld.. but they just didn’t. My guests were even commenting that the arrangement on the gazebo was falling apart while the ceremony was waiting to start. I really hate to leave such a poor review, but I had such high expectations of Erin, and given that if she would have waited to make the arrangements, they would have been beautiful. Wilted flowers just are not beautiful, and not worth the money we paid for them.
*********UPDATE--- Erin had no idea that the flowers would end up looking this way, as she trusted her assistant to exchange the flowers out with new ones. The assistant was in charge of the final product and this was not supposed to happen. I can understand this now, and do not blame Erin in the least. I have changed my rating based off Erin's sincere apology and refund for the portion of the flowers that she made the profit off of. She has gone above and beyond our expectations, and although it was unfortunate how the flowers turned on us, we do forgive her and love her dearly.

Hi Rachel, Thank you for your honest review and feedback. What happened broke my heart, and I really appreciate your understanding. I loved working with you this past year.

Erin is a hoot! She's so much fun to work with. Very down to earth and just funny. And then add on top of all that an amazing talent and you have Eden's Echo. I found out about Erin through local forums on the Knot, and I'm glad I found out. She has really good taste in flower arrangements and an eye for detail which I greatly appreciated. Instead of trying to get me to buy more or make it seem like the look I'm looking for cannot be compromised on, she worked with my budget which I also appreciated. Apparently I have expensive taste and she pointed, haha. Which she said is not bad but that maybe I should consider other types of arrangements. She would throw ideas at me and they were all soooo good. I just love how unique and creative she is with her arrangements. Even with my limited budget, my wedding came out just like I pictured it in my mind. I loved me and my bridesmaids bouquets and the guys boutonierres. Even the moms corsages! It was just perfect.




Erin did such a spectacular job on our wedding flowers! My bouquet was beyond stunning, it was a work of art! We planned to give my bouquet away at the reception during an anniversary dance honoring the longest-married couple. When the time came, I can't lie -- it was SO hard for me to give up that gorgeous bouquet!
Erin took my vision and ideas and absolutely ran with them. She was one of the only vendors that we truly trusted to "do her thing", and we knew it would turn out fabulous. The day before the wedding, she came across something that she thought would be perfect for my bouquet and added it at the last minute. Such gorgeousness! She also very kindly incorporated lace from my mother's wedding veil and a brooch on my bouquet, and pendants that I provided for my bridesmaid bouquets. I went into my first meeting with her not caring much about the flowers. By the end of that meeting, she had me so excited about what she could create! And we were a fairly small project for her -- just my bouquet, our bridal party/attendant flowers, cake flowers and two ceremony altar arrangements. We had a small flower budget, and I love that Erin always made helpful suggestions to help us stretch our dollars. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious, too! She truly loves what she does, and makes you feel like you are her most important client! Believe all of these wonderful reviews, Erin is the BEST!

These were some of the BEST centerpieces and bouquets majority of the people at my wedding have ever seen, including some of my vendors. :) I really had no idea what I wanted when I first met with Erin, but right away, she took what I did say and showed her and turned it into a masterpiece. My bouquet was absolutely stunning. Even the toss away bouquet was up for debate about being tossed. It was so amazing I couldn't throw it. I did...eventually... :)
Vendor response to review
:) Thanks Allison! I absolutely loved your bouquet with those amazing garden roses!
GUEST




Erin's flowers "made" our March 2011 wedding. She went above and beyond and didn't just supply bouquets and floral arrangements, her artistic flair decorated the entire event, and her floral hairpieces and our bouquets really stood out. I am holding my bouquet in almost every picture because it was so pretty I didn't want to let go! Thanks too Erin for calming a my nerves and texting me the night before my wedding. You're the best!
Vendor response to review
Aww, you're welcome, darling! :) Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad I was able to help ease your worries!
GUEST




On our first meeting, we knew Erin was the perfect person to do our flowers. When she speaks about her craft, she absolutely lights up!
Our vision began with the feeling of an enchanted forrest within the Leeper auditorium of the McNay Museum. We expressed the mood we got from the place and what we wanted to come from it. James and I were so confident in her vision and abilities that I did not give her any direction. I really wanted her to just express her creative genious. And she absolutely brought it!!!
Erin brought us in to look at a sample of what she had in mind a couple weeks before the wedding, and it blew us away.
Words can't really encompass the beauty of what she produced. Erin is a hidden treasure. One that touched us because she put so much of herself into this project. And the result was literally jaw dropping. Our guests literally were speechless when everyone entered the hall.
Some pics can be found on her blog and her facebook page. You can't miss them, they are of a 12 foot tree!!!!
Anyone in San Antonio would, for lack of a better word, be stupid for not getting her if you can. This girl is going to abdsolutely blow up at some point soon. And it will be well deserved. She is a rare find.
Thank you Erin for the days of work that went into our wedding. We are eternally grateful. Mr. and Mrs. Hury

Thank you so much for the kind words! Working with you two was truly fun, and I'm so glad you loved everything!

When I met Erin, I nicknamed her my fairy godmother! Straight out of the pages of Cinderella! She can take nothing and make it into something absolutely BREATH TAKING!
She is honestly the best and easiest person to work with. She took the ideas that were in my head and put them on paper, her doodles are works of art worthy of hanging in the walls of museums! Then, she blew me away even more and made the most beautiful things! I wanted a non-floral wedding rather than using flowers I wanted a much more natural scene that would be created out of cotton boll flowers (NOT COTTON BALLS), balsa wood flowers, wheat, lace, burlap and other dried or natural things. She far surpassed my expectations and went above and beyond to make my husband and I feel 100% confident that she knew exactly what to do.
As the wedding got closer she would send pictures and I was just amazed at her ability to think out of the box and work with materials that she's not accustomed to. It got to the point that I would just tell her to do her thing, she didn't have to make sure I liked it because I knew she knew my vision.
I don't consider her a vendor, rather she became a friend to my husband and I. She will forever be known as my fairy godmother!
Vendor response to review
Thank you Jenna :) I loved working with you and Travis, and everyone who hears 'cotton' has this misconception until they see your pictures. It was the most fun set up I've done at Marquardt, and one of my favorite weddings to date! I miss having an excuse to email you! :)
GUEST




My husband and I had originally planned to have a medium sized wedding but decided only a few weeks before the wedding to have a very small ceremony and reception. We cut our floral budget in half. Erin at Eden's Echo was patient and accommodating the entire time. She gave us a much more elaborate and beautiful arrangement than we had agreed upon -- the flowers were absolutely beautiful. I can tell she does her job for more than just a paycheck -- she really cares about making beautiful arrangements.
GUEST




I absolutely love Erin! :-) She was referred to me by the original florist I booked (who dropped me a few months before our wedding) and even though she had another wedding already booked for the day of mine she was able to squeeze in my small order. She was great to work with and very easy going and when doing my flowers kept ME in mind and had suggestions that would bring out my personality while still staying within my colors. I only wished the shoulder corsage & boutonniers were larger. I had thought they would be a bit larger but they were still gorgeous and my bouquet was amazing. I loved Erin and her work and would definitely use her again for flowers and will refer my friends and family to her.
Vendor response to review
Hi Jaemi! :D Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked everything, and I'm sorry the size of everything wasn't just right. They were really fabulous though, I just loved your bouts and corsages. :) congrats again on your wedding, I'm really happy for you! I need pictures!
GUEST




I can't say enough about how great Eden's Echo is! I had a bit of an emergency when I found out that I had no florist with only 3 weeks to go until my wedding (that's what I get for delegating). Anyway, in my mad dash to find a florist, I came across Erin's website, and her work is beautiful. I emailed her asking if there was any way she could do the flowers for our wedding on short notice. She emailed me back that same day and offered to take us on as clients.
I knew what colors I wanted, but I didn't really know what types of flowers. Erin was able to send me the names of flowers in my colors so I could google pics of them. All of the flowers she picked were gorgeous. She was able to tell me what was in season, and what she could order from her vendors for a low price. She did an excellent job of listening to what I wanted and she was able to work with me based on my budget. (Other florists that sent me quotes wanted to charge almost twice as much for fewer flowers).
The arrangements were beautiful, and my bouquet was stunning. We just received our wedding pics from our photographer, and the flowers are a big part of why the pics turned out awesome. I highly recommend Eden's Echo!
Vendor response to review
Thanks Christy! I love that photo of you and your husband you sent where you can see your Chucks! I was happy I was able to help you get the look you wanted on short notice, at an affordable price, and I appreciate your review! :)
GUEST




I only used this vendor for my bridal bouquet but I couldn't have been more satisfied with it!! My wedding coordinator contacted this florist with very short notice and she not only made it happen but she totally exceeded!!
Vendor response to review
Aww, thank you so much for the review Mary! I appreciate it, especially since I never got to speak to you personally! :)
GUEST




Erin's work is so beautiful and way beyond what I expected! Choosing my florist was one of the last things I did. I was trying to be very budget conscious and thought that flowers were probably not too important. Erin completely changed my mind! The center pieces at my wedding were so pretty, and my bouquet was GORGEOUS! Did I mention that she spruced up my wedding cake with beautiful flowers too? So amazing! She really can work with any budget and any idea (no matter how crazy or time consuming it may be). I just love Erin and I am seriously thinking of any excuse to book her again. Love, LOVE, LOVE, Eden's Echo and definitely recommend to any and all brides!
Vendor response to review
Aww, Laura! :) I'm so happy you loved your flowers. I always have mini anxiety attacks when I don't get to see the bride the day of the wedding, so I was really happy to hear from Josie that you were pleased. lol Sprucing up your cake was interesting, because the top tier was a lot larger than most I've worked with, but it looked super cute in the end! Your bouquet is one of my all time favorites, gotta love that dusty miller!
GUEST




Erin did such an amazing job with my wedding flowers, everyone gave me positive feedback the whole evening of my wedding. Her work is incredible and she was really willing to work with my budget. I was so sad we had to cut my wedding cake because the cascade of flowers Erin added was a piece of art and too beautiful to touch. Oh, well at least I will have pictures. I did not meet her until the day of my wedding and not once did I have any doubts about her. Like my husband and I say next time we get married we will use Erin ;)
GUEST




Erin is an awesome floral designer who totally wowed me on our wedding day. She was so nice and easy to work with through the whole planning process and I knew she would do a great job but I was still so blown away with the final result. I think she picked up on the look and feel I was going for right away so I felt at ease giving her some creative license to come up with what I wanted. Our wedding party flowers were amazing and I never wanted to put my bouquet down. When we arrived at the reception the arrangements were so beautiful! I got a lot of compliments on all the flowers. I would recommend Erin to any bride who is looking for something special. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!
Vendor response to review
lol I didn't want to put that bouquet down, either. It was so luscious with all those cymbidiums! :) And you were so beautiful holding it! Your reception flowers were amazing, and I'm so glad I can add them to my portfolio!
GUEST




Working with Erin was awesome. We live in Houston so we did a lot over the phone but she always responded quickly whether it was via email or phone. She was one of the vendors that got me most excited about our wedding vision. Best of all, the flowers were amazing. I took Erin an unnecessary amount of pictures and she suggested flowers that were in season during my late summer wedding. This was key considering all the flowers I liked were spring flowers and were WAY out of my budget. Thanks, Erin!
Vendor response to review
You're very welcome Courtney! It was fun working with you and I'm glad everything turned out the way you wanted! Your wedding was so pretty, and the girls at Bend the Light did a fantastic job on those photos!
GUEST




Erin ROCKS. I first found her through the reviews on wedding websites and saw only positive responses, which gave me confidence before our first meeting. After we met during the first appointment, she knew exactly what I was going for with my flowers for our wedding. She made me feel completely comfortable with my budget and even offered budget savvy tips without any hesitation - this is a rarity in the wedding business! As the date grew closer our numbers grew larger than our original quote. Erin worked with me up and until a few days before the event to make sure that we had everything covered. She always emailed me with amazing ideas and creativity which allowed me to put the flowers all in her hands. When she brought me my bouquet I was floored, and once I saw the bridesmaids bouquets I knew the reception had to be amazing. The flowers absolutely made my wedding everything I had hoped for! They were BEYOND my expectations and everyone loved them - and still talk about them! I could not have asked more of her and of her work. Erin is truly gifted and is an absolute JOY to work with! Thanks Erin*
Vendor response to review
Aww, Heather, you're so sweet. ^_^ You were so funny when I brought in your bouquet, and it was probably one of the highest squeals of excitement to date! :) I'm glad you were happy with everything, your wedding really was beautiful and I'm glad you chose me as your florist.
GUEST




Erin is a dream to work with. She took my vision and knew exactly how to make it a reality - all while staying within my budget. Her prices are very reasonable!, but she does not skimp on style at all. She's very friendly and warm and responds quickly to e-mail. She took the time to iron out all of the little details with me even though I had only a small order for a wedding that was over a year away. And then when I changed the order less than a month away, she took everything in stride and delivered flawlessly. I will definitely work with her in the future if I can.
Vendor response to review
Thanks Amy :) You were great to work with, too!
GUEST




Our flowers were incredibly beautiful (especially the bouquets) and her prices cannot be beat! My only negative is that I wish I had specified "ivory" versus "white" ribbon because the bout looked a little stark on the groom next to his ivory shirt...but nevertheless the flowers were all very, very beautiful and better than I had imagined. Erin was hard to get a hold of at times (I think she was moving) but she definitely came through for us!
GUEST




Erin is the flower rock star. She does not make any ugly flowers. Even better is that my husband has to be all uhhh to wedding vendors and he loved Erin. That says a lot. Thanks Erin.

Vendor response to review
aahaha Naomi, that is so cute ^_^ And to think I only met him once on the day of! It must have been my 'No, no, let ME carry these out to the car because they're my babies' speech. :P Thanks for the review sweetie!
GUEST




Erin at Eden's Echo is the best florist in South Texas. I went to her with pretty much a blank canvas... told her the colors I liked, deep orange and magenta, and told her to pick flowers that would look the best. She did an awesome job. She knows her stuff with flowers and was so good at designing the perfect bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. At the last minute I needed to add more centerpieces, and she had no problem with it. The flowers were so remarkable. I highly recommend Erin to all brides out there!!
Vendor response to review
Aw Dana, you're so sweet! I really loved your unique wedding flowers, especially your awesome white, lime, and tangerine bouquet! All my gerbera daisy fans LOVE those bouts and corsages, too! Thank you for letting me make your day colorful!
GUEST




Erin was incredible to work with! She was great at getting back to me with my million questions, was super sweet, and just a fun person to work with! I had no idea what I wanted in my flowers, so I pretty much went with anything she recommended and I was not disappointed! Honestly, I thought she was so great that I didn't shop around for flowers. We thought her prices sounded reasonable enough, we loved her, so we went with her! Thank you so much for a fabulous job!!!!
Vendor response to review
You are oh-so-welcome! :) I appreciate the awesome review, and thanks for being an Eden's Echo bride!

Flowers were beautiful! Definitely the best!
I JUST LOVE HER!!

lol, I just saw this.. it's now November. Thanks Ruben! :D
GUEST




Erin is a super fun and creative girl to work with. She was definitely one of my most favorite vendors to work with. I truly have her to thank for making my wedding dreams come true. I had a rustic yet whimsical theme and she was able to make my vision a reality. She is very professional, knowledgeable, & affordable. The world of flowers can be overwhelming but she has the knowledge to know what is seasonally available and what flowers will compliment each other better. I would recommend Erin to any bride, actually my co worker used her for her wedding and also was very pleased. I got so many compliments on how well the reception looked especially my gorgeous cake. I put all my faith in Erin and her creativity and I couldn't have asked for anything more!
Vendor response to review
Thank you very much for the review Alexandra! :) Your wedding was a lot of fun to do. I loved all the colorful butterflies, and the cake-oh the cake! I went to town on that cake, and it was Gorgeous!
GUEST




Where do i begin Erin went above and beyond what i asked her to do for my wedding she made my wedding better then i could have imagined my bouquet was jaw dropping the flowers on my cake were exquisite. the center pieces were the most beautiful center pieces i had ever seen i really would recommend her to anyone not only did i have a amazing wedding i walked away with a friend in Erin. my budget for my wedding was very small and she worked magic. i honestly don't know how she pulled off what she did but it was just amazing and so beautiful.
Vendor response to review
hehe Aww Victoria, thank you. It was wonderful to be your florist, and friends is even better! I'm so happy you loved all your little surprises, working with you was a joy!

I suppose Erin is good for big elaborate weddings where there is money to be made but for something simple and small not so much. The Grooms boutonniere was wilted almost dead, my flowers were OK but some of the smaller purple flowers were wilted almost dead as well. She wasn't available on the day of the wedding-she went out of town. My flowers were dropped off at the flower wholesaler she uses. I had no recourse but to use them nothing could have been corrected unless I personally remade the boutonniere. I requested two differed color ribbons on the bridal bouquet and my daughters but got the same color on both well one had more pins on it than the other. I guess white pearl pins are close to light purple ribbon. I had planned on having the photographer refer some of her clients to Erin but not so much going to do that now. To date 7-27-09 two days after the wedding she hasn't even called or e-mailed to see if the flowers were OK. I have corresponded with both the Photographer and DJ several times since Saturday. They will be highly recommended but not Edens Echo.
8-23-09- Erin posted a response to this review however in correspondence since this post she has accused me of being the one that caused the flowers to wilt and caused the bruising on the roses. I have since found out the flowers were not in the warehouse but in a "refrigerated" truck-you tell me how flowers made on Thursday are going to be fresh on Saturday???
being left in the back of a truck in 100+ heat- I'm sorry but to me that is negligence on Erins part. In the future anyone that is even considering her for flowers make sure she isn't planning a vacation because your flowers will not be fresh and she won't care..

Apparently Erin responded to my August post indicating a refund was to be given. So Erin wheres the refund? Haven't seen a thing or heard from you. I was asked to supply a florist's name for my Aunt and Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary party guess what I told them specifically not to call you. So I will continue to post negative reviews. You not only you do shoddy work but you also lie to your consumers.
Vendor response to review
As Debbie stated, I had been going out of town. That is why I had not called or emailed her. This is the first day I have gotten on the computer since I left for my trip on Saturday. I did reply to an email she sent me to day, explaining that the flowers were in perfect condition when I left them to be put in the cooler at the wholesaler, and apologizing that something must have went wrong. She will be receiving a refund. I would like to say that her comment about my flowers be being good only for big budget weddings is simply not true, as all the other brides who have reviewed me here would back me up on. I truly care about making all my orders beautiful no matter what, so I am extremely unhappy that one of my brides was not happy. I love what I do and was very hurt to see that the people I left the flowers with did not treat them kindly.
Update: I did try to handle this privately through email with this bride. Initially I was so upset by her accusations, plus I couldn't understand how the flowers could have possibly been in such bad shape. Then she provided pictures from her wedding, and the flowers looked beautiful to me. I have these pictures if anyone would like to see them. If there was any damage it was around the bottom edges of the flowers that wasn't even noticeable, because all the photos I saw, even close ups, look great. The truck the flowers were left in was indeed a refrigerated truck, anyone may call San Antonio Flower Co. on Blanco and confirm this (they had to have the truck because they were moving from their old building to a brand new one on the plot next door), as well as ask if the flowers were in good condition when they were picked up. I told her I was sorry she wasn't pleased, she said the flowers weren't what she wanted, but they were what was indicated in the contract. After seeing the photos, I didn't feel a refund was warranted and I indicated as such through private emails, but was willing to give her a half refund. She was extremely rude about that, so I did not follow through after she told me to do what I thought was the right thing, because honestly I didn't think a refund was needed after seeing the photos. I'm amazed at the behavior of this person. As every single one of my other brides have attested, I do care about them and what I do. I would also like to add that when she booked me, I did tell her I would be going out of town-it was something we'd been planning for months to visit my husband's grandparents out of state. It wasn't like I planned a last minute vacation.
GUEST




I used Erin for my flowers for my July 24, 2009 wedding. I had a very small order, but I can tell that Erin took the time to do a great job on my bouquets and boutonnieres. I especially loved the boutonnieres which were very alternative and made out of thistle - they looked great on the guys. The bouquets were beautiful and well done as well. Erin's attention to detail is great and I would recommend her to any bride on any budget.
GUEST




Erin McLarty was a delight to work with for my wedding flowers. She was always very friendly and helpful. I received everything in my contract and more for my flowers and the prices could not be beat for the quality of flowers and design you receive. I love her work and would recommend her to all brides in San Antonio and beyond! If you are looking for a florist right now for your wedding, stop looking and book with Erin right now!!! :o)
GUEST




I first heard about Erin through www.weddingbee.com from one of the online bloggers. I contacted her, and right from the beginning she was perfect. She wasn't pushy, suggested ways for me to stay within my budget, and was always quick to respond. Within a week I had her booked with a contract, and we continued to email back and forth with ideas and with my questions and her answers. I had a last minute change to add 2 corsages about a week before the wedding, and she added the corsages with no problems whatsoever. In fact, she threw one in for free!!
Not only was Erin a DREAM to work with, the end product was AMAZING. The flowers were fresh, and the bouquet was everything I asked for and more. She even added in a raffia basket for the bottom of the bouquet for my rustic country wedding setting. It was perfect.
Thanks Erin for being such a joy, and I know many more brides will be as happy as I was on my wedding day.
Vendor response to review
Aww, You're welcome!!!! :) I only wish I could have met you during the planning process! You were one of my super busy brides I never got to meet! But I'm glad you loved your flowers, I did too, and I put your bouquet and boutonniere into my blog I loved it so much! :) Keep in touch, and thank you for the review!
GUEST




I'm not sure where to begin when talking about Erin/Eden's Echo. I heard about Erin from a bunch of girls on TheKnot.com's message boards for San Antonio. I had interviewed a few other better-known florists in SA, and their prices were exorbitant for what I was wanting. I was pretty resigned to just paying what they asked, because the flowers were an area that I was not willing to "settle." Then, I spoke with Erin. From the beginning, she made me feel at ease with her and her abilities. I was provided with pictures and descriptions, and she regularly replied to my emails before I even signed out of my account! She was without a doubt the easiest vendor to get a hold of, but that pales in comparison to her floral abilities.
I knew exactly what I wanted for my bridal bouquet and my centerpieces. The boutonnieres, corsages, and bridesmaids' bouquets...? That what a completely different story. I had some ideas and I knew what look I was going for, but I couldn't quite put it all together. The first time I met Erin in person was to pick up my bridal portrait bouquet (I live 2 1/2 hours away, so coordinating with my vendors was done mainly via phone and email). I'll admit, I was a bit nervous. I mean, these photos were ALMOST as important as the wedding pictures themselves, and I hadn't even met the woman who was making the bouquet! However, the moment I walked in and saw my astounding arrangement sitting on the table, I knew I wouldn't have to worry about Erin making my entire wedding beautiful.
The bridal bouquet was very different from the "real" one, so we had a lot of tweaking to do. I was very particular-- cream roses, pearled stephanotis, cream hydrangea, and gardenias. Erin was up-front and honest, telling me that she had never worked with gardenias before, but that they were notoriously a bit tricky to handle (easy to kill, and if you touch the petals they turn brown). I wasn't worried at all-- I knew she could handle it, and I absolutely HAD to have them. Gardenias are my grandmother's favorite flower, and I wanted to honor her by putting them in the most important flower arrangement of my life. So, Erin said she'd make it happen. We spent the next 2 hours going over ideas for the rest of the flowers. She helped me design the boutonnieres to be masculine but coordinating, the bridesmaids' bouquets to be elegant but simple, the corsages for the mothers to be young but beautiful, and the grandmothers' to be classic and lovely. She came up with ideas that I hadn't even thought of or seen before (and trust me, I'd done my research), and I trusted her to run with it.
The day of the wedding came, and my coordinator called to tell me that the first vendor had arrived long before the rest were due to start setting up. It was Erin, of course. She was already working on the centerpieces and altar arrangements (which were exactly what I envisioned: big, white, poufy, and elegant) with an assistant. Once my baker arrived and set up the cake, Erin asked if I would like some extra flowers that she had lying around to put accents on it. I loved my cake exactly how it was, but I'll admit, the few sprigs of hydrangea strategically placed made a HUGE difference. Erin had even put an extra touch in my centerpieces that we hadn't even talked about-- but it made them tie in PERFECTLY with my altar arrangements and the other bouquets. (She's brilliant, I tell you!) Oh, and my bouquet? Breathtaking.
My mom, who is very young and hip, had the perfect corsage: not matronly, but so elegant. It was perfect for her. The guy's boutonnieres were exactly what we wanted: masculine but still perfectly coordinated with the girls' flowers. My centerpieces? Wonderful! The flower girls' bouquets (which I sprung on her the week before, as I decided not to do them myself afterall)? Perfect! Oh, and the wonderful Erin had even brought some extra flowers and made me some aisle arrangements. We had decided to forgo them, because the venue was so beautiful with its simplicity. However, her flowers on the front few rows were such a lovely touch.
I could go on and on about Erin... I really could. If I could tell every bride for 200 miles about her talent, personality, vision, and skill (not to mention affordability!), I would. If I could get married all over again, Erin would be the very first vendor I'd book. I think more than anything, the most meaningful part of what Erin arranged was the look on my grandmother's face when I showed her the fragrant gardenias on my bouquet. While we all got ready in the bridal room, she kept walking over to them and smelling the delicate flowers. Like I said, her favorite! After the reception, I let her take my bouquet home with her, as I didn't plan to preserve it. While I was on my honeymoon, that beautiful, lovingly-arranged bouquet sat on my grandma's table, filling her house with the smell of gardenia and brightening her living room with the beauty of the flowers.
I can't thank Erin enough for everything. She could charge 3x more than she does, and the brides would STILL be getting the better end of the deal :)

Erin is AMAZING!!!! She is so hands-on with her brides! I loved her bubbly personality and she just knew what to bring when I said I wanted simple and elegant flowers. I could not have asked for more!!! She truly became a part of my family and became a friend through the process!!! Her arrangements are beautiful! She has a real artistic eye and take on things but isn't pushy with her ideas. She definitely is flexible and is able to really think on her feet. She even helped me when my bustle came undone and helped safety-pin it up so it stayed in place the rest of the night! Any bride is lucky to have her in your corner!!

These were the most beautiful, most perfect flowers for my wedding!

Erin did a beautiful job for my wedding! She completely understood the look I was trying to go for, and did it on my budget. I got so many complements on the flowers. She even whet above and beyond by helping my coordinator set-up for the reception, beyond what we needed for the florals. I would HIGHLY recommend Eden's Echo.

Thank you Leigh! :) It was wonderful working with you, and your wedding was just one of my favorites! I love green flowers, so it was a real treat to make yours and your bridesmaids' bouquets! Oh, and the centerpieces, and the candles! Gorgeous! Just like you!

Erin with Eden's Echo was one of my favorite vendors. She is so creative and came up with some fabulous ideas for my wedding flowers. Also important, as I was a bride on a budget, she came up with budget friendly ideas that helped me stretch my floral budget. I got so many compliments on my flowers, and I even got teary eyed when I saw my bouquet for the first time- it was beyond beautiful.
She is such a great vendor to work with, and I highly recommend her. Good luck on your wedding!

Working with Erin was a dream: I didn't have to do anything! I met with her a couple of times, once for an initial consultation and once at the wholesale florist to look at some suggestions she had. I told her my overall vision, a cascading bouquet with cream and red and my price range and she produced beautiful bouquets and corsages for the women attendants and bouts for the men. She also provided a scaled down version of the wedding bouquet for my bridal pictures. At the last minute, I wanted flowers on my rehearsal dinner cake and rose petals for my reception and she took care of that as well. I would highly recommend her services, especially if you have a vision but don't have the specifics, she will do a great job bringing your dream to life.

Erin was a pleasure to work with. She did a fantastic job on my wedding party flowers and worked with my budget. She was able to capture what I wanted for my special day. She also responded to my emails and calls within a reasonable time frame. I had so many compliments from other vendors and guests on how beautiful my bouquet was. I would highly recommend Erin for whatever budget you may have.

Erin was a life saver. As a bride planning a wedding from out of town, I have to say she was extremely helpful in planning over email. She was always friendly and super sweet. Not only did she do a beautiful job on our flowers, she recommended a wonderful wedding planner. Then she went out of the way to help us on our wedding day.
Her floral arrangements were exactly what we had hoped for in terms style but much more than I could have asked for. I didn't expect to be so excited about the flowers, but I really was. She even included a beautiful charm within my bouquet that I was able to share with my mother to remember the day.
I want to add that she did this all with less time than I would have preferred to give a vendor because of a time conflict with a previous floral vendor. She put my mind at ease and I would highly recommend her not only for her professionalism but for her excellent taste and creativity.

You were great to work with, too! Distance planning doesn't have to be as hard as one would think, in regards to flowers, anyway. The first time I met you in person a few days before the wedding, I already felt like I knew you! I wanted to make sure your day was perfect, like I do all my brides. :) Your flowers are still some of my favorites, I have a framed 8x10 of you and Arthur in my office. I also heard you were expecting, congrats, mom! :)

Eden's Echo was extremely professional, always on time, and most importantly provided exactly what I described. She knew exactly what I wanted even if I didn't know how to explain it. I highly recommend Eden's Echo.
Erin is a creative genius. She truly gets to the heart of the couple and pours her soul into her work.
Eden's Echo is one of my favorite florists to work with. She is as sweet as she is talented. I always look forward to the wonderful floral creations that Erin comes up with!
I was so impressed by Erin's floral designs! Her bouquets and arrangements are unique and perfectly suited to each individual client. I loved photographing all of her beautiful work, and the bride was SO happy with what an amazing job Erin did at capturing her vision.
Eden's Echo doesn't just do flowers... They do amazing! The great thing about Eden's Echo is that they specialize in events, not everyday deliveries! Erin is completely up to date on the latest trends, can work within budget constraints and openly discusses ways to save you money! Her creations are beautiful and wonderful everytime! Plus, she's a ton of fun to work with! She's not your average florist and she doesn't do average work! So if you're looking for a young, hip florist to create flowers to remember... Erin at Eden's Echo is the way to go!
I highly recommend Eden's Echo to all my clients. Erin has always worked with my clients regardless of how big or small their event is and budget they may have. Erin is an amazing florist who truly understands the clients taste and can deliver! I encourage you to meet with Erin for your next event.
I have worked with Erin SEVERAL times in the past few months when we had the same bride. She always does amazing, beautiful, and unique work! I love her designs, and I have never seen any issues with wilting, sparce, or falling-apart arrangements like I have seen with other, more expensive, florists. She has even been known to step in to help a bride out with things that aren't really her job: one of my brides arrived to her Bridal Session after picking up her Bouquet from Erin and was amazed at how Erin helped her fix her hair and veil after a bad stylist appointment. You can't go wrong with Eden's Echo! I have heard from my brides that she has very reasonable prices, too. This is one of the few other vendors I can comfortably rave about to my clients.
I had the pleasure of working with Erin this weekend after reading the many rave reviews about her. She is a delight to work with, produces amazing floral designs and my client just absolutely loved her. I will certainly enlist her floral talents in the future. If you contract with Eden's Echo for your florals, you will not be dissapointed!
