I wanted to highlight how much amazing light and flowers can make an event of any kind spectacular.  Next time you walk into a Convention Center when it is not lit up and designed with gorgeous flowers I want you to think f the possibilities cause they are endless.  Special thanks to Mel Day who referred me into doing the photography for this.  I am not sure what faces I can post because of the amount of Celebrities at this event so just a few details for now.
