Erika is a joy to work with. I have never worked with a more organized and nice wedding coordinator. After the wedding ceremony we have to transform the room into a reception area and she was able to get all the guests outside for pictures in a smooth transition. We have many weddings and I would recommend Erika to all of my brides to coordinate their wedding. She knows how to keep everything flowing very well; especially in a timely manner.

Erika drove over 50 miles to meet with us and then drove over 100 miles to deliver the flowers. They were so beautiful; I could not believe how what I had imagined for my wedding day actually came true. Her creativity and precisness made my wedding day so perfect.

My wedding ceremony and reception flowers were wonderful. Erika knew exactly what I wanted and made all the little details that I wanted perfect. My bridal bouquet was awesome and Erika was even able to make a last minute bouquet for my photos. I will never forgot all that Erika did for my wedding and how great she made my dream day.

My flower arrangements were so beautiful. From the moment I met with Erika I knew I had nothing to worry about. She helped me work through so many decisions. Being able to order invitations and flowers with the same person as well as being able to use her as my wedding coordinator - everything was so smooth. She was so flexible with my schedule, I felt I was the only bride that she was working with. All of my girlfriends loved my wedding; flowers and decor. Thank you for making a day that I have dreamed about for years so special.

Erika is amazing, her floral arrangements are what made my wedding so beautiful. My flowers were the only color in my wedding and they were beautiful. I had a specific budget and type of flower I wanted and Erika was able to pull both toghether without causing any stress. I thank her for helping with a few details of my wedding that I had not even thought about. I appreciate that she not only was my florist she guided me through some decisions I had to make to keep my wedding under my budget. She is organized and detailed and extremely professional. My family will be using her again for other weddings and special events that we want to have. Thank you for making me feel so special and making my wedding day memorable.

Erika was a fantastic addition to our wedding! Without a doubt, I would recommend her to any bride - for a big wedding or a smaller wedding! Erika is responsible, organized, detailed, and experienced. My husband andI were married at the Dallas Arboretum with 200 friends and family memebers. While the Arboretum is a beautiful place for an outdoor wedding and reception, their restrictions and staff are very difficult. Two weeks before our wedding , we decided there was no way we could do the event without a coordinator.
We contacted Erika, who graciously fit us in at her busiest time of the year. Every bride should be able to focus on being a part of her wedding on the big day - not the stressful details of pulling the event together. Erika is a large reason why I was able to enjoy my wedding day.. She is extraordinarily conscientious, very thorough, and hardworking. Erika never tried to control or change the wedding we had spent so much time planning.. At the same time, she was quick to ask detailed questions about things we had overlooked. I never had to think once about the details of the setup, the vendors, or the schedule once we arrived at the Arboretum. And, all was executed just right! Erika has great judgment and is very calm in the midst of a potentially chaotic situation.. I cannot tell you how important these two qualities are to a bride.
Weeks after the wedding, I learned of several small incidents that could have become large problems. Instead, Erika quietly handled each matter. She was also a phenomenal help to the mother of the bride. My mother was originally concerned that we had given Erika too much information too late. However, erika proved us all wrong. She kept up with every detail of the wedding and relieved a lot of stress from the wedding party.
It's been several months since our wedding, and to this day I still get comments about our wedding. Most have said that our wedding is ONE OF THE NICEST THEY HAVE ATTENDED. One friend even said that her daughter want to have a wedding just like ours. While these have been very nice compliments for my family, they are also high recommendations of Designs By Erika Marie. For without Erika, our wedding would not have been nearly the success it was. Thanks, Erika --

I have never seen such beautiful floral arrangements, my daughter was speechless, at how her ceremony and reception looked with everything just positioned perfect. Erika is definetly the best at what she does, she can turn a plain room into a something only from your dreams. She is one of the main reasons my daughter had a perfect wedding; from ordering the invitations to coordinating the rehearsal to working the entire day of the wedding to make sure everything went perfect she was worth every penny. I can't wait to see what the future holds for one of the upcoming event coordinators of our time. - Blessing to you and your business

Erika is a life saver. I called her at the last minute to order a bridal bouquet for my friends wedding that weekend. I told her what I could spend and she created this beautiful "just the right size" bouquet for my friend. My friend cried when I gave it to her (it was a surprise). My friend has a small wedding and Erika made it even more special with just a small addition. I thank her for making a more memorable day than my friend would have ever imagined.
