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!

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.

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.

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)

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.

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 deions, 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!!

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.

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.
