Antionette Smith JonesAIFD, CFD, GMF,
owner & principal designer
CM Production is an Atlanta based floral & event design company owned by Antionette. It is the sister company to Designs by TTOC floral, an everyday flower shop. Both companies were born out of her passion for florals and her entrepreneurial spirit. With 25 years of experience in the floral industry, Antionette’s focus is on education. She is technically trained and weaves this skill set into every floral design. Antionette builds relationships with local growers and wholesalers to ensure that her clients receive the freshest flowers for their special occasions. Family is at the core of this floral business. On any given day, you can visit “the shop” and see her youngest daughter (Noel) designing; her oldest daughter (Shantara) in a consultation; her son (Vantrell) and grandson (Ivan) processing flowers, and her wife (Valerie) pulling equipment.
Shantara Strickland
Shantara grew up in the flower shop.
Watching her mother design florals, at an early age, she learned to appreciate flowers and the commitment it takes to run a small business. Flowers were integral to her relationship with her mother. At every job promotion, Antionette sent flowers to Shantara. In 2021, her next floral arrangement came with an offer to return to the family business. After a career in retail operations and store management, Shantara offers CM Production and our clients a vast knowledge of logistics and organization. With the change of weddings and events to full fledge productions, her attention to details and commitment to the client's experience aid in the flawless execution of every event.
