Anisha Gwynn & Kennard Jones Wedding to be Featured on Platinum Weddings

I had the extreme priviledge to provide my floral and design services to our home town hero - Tony Gwynn as his little girl
Anisha wed Kennard Jones on January 31, 09 at the Gwynn's private estate in Poway, Ca. Not only was it out of this world, drop dead gorgeous....but we were picked up by the WE Channel wedding show of Platinum Weddings. The film crew was in San Diego the week of the wedding to capture the craziness of production & installment. It should air in the Fall of '09...so keep an eye out...
Our design studio was featured in the table top viewing of the centerpiece by bride, aunt and event coordinator- Laurel McFarlane of McFarlane Productions Then a segment was filmed 'interview with the floral designer' as a one-on-one with the producer and I- of course my team was in the background making fun the whole time!!

The ceremony site was probably the most impressive as it was staged in the front entry of the home in a draped tent of white....chameleon chairs of gold were outfitted with 'golden glisten' suede seates to accommidate approximately 280 guests. The alter was built 'in the round' and I commissioned Fred Aldrete of Concepts Event Design to fabricate a massive floating chandelier with diameter over 5 1/2 ft and strung with crystals. and my crew covered the bottom band with over 2000 stems of yellow roses!!

This is the first time I've been able to shoot a picture of him without him waking....he loves sleeping like this! well...it's off to catch up on the piles of paper....have a terrific day.
