In early March, a nor’easter blew through the region, and Mr. Bruschetta seized our surprise snow day and sought springtime — at the 2009 Philadelphia Flower Show!
I was bee-side myself at the opportunity to turn an otherwise mundane Monday into a date with the mister.
Every inch of the Convention Center embraced this year’s theme, Bella Italia — a celebration of Italy’s gardens, cuisine, fashion and entertainment.
I snapped quite a few bees adorning the exhibits — see if you can spot them!
It was impossible to feel stressed — even with a seemingly endless wedding to-do list — with displays like this floral spa retreat. See the shower? The “water” are blossoms that appear to float in thin air.
Always with a foodie frame of mind, Mr. Bruschetta and I positively drooled over one of the outdoor kitchen set-ups.
Although I used the afternoon as a respite from wedding planning, I couldn’t help but notice the floral inspirations all around me.
Flowers not really your thing? We found impressive displays of succulents, herbs… and even landscaping!
Ahh!!! I love the flower adorned shoes! Unreal what some people think of! 
Oooh, I love the Flower Show!!! But as a Center City resident, I have to say that something entirely different and far less pleasant came to mind when I read the title of this post 
I love those shoes!! How cute would those be as centerpieces??
Oh my goodness that’s a lot of flowers! I love the green and white display on top of that white desk… table… something
I love that black and white “dress” with the circles! I haven’t been to the flower show since I was a kid but it looks like it was beautiful.
OMG we went to the Flower Show this year and I’m jealous of the pic you got of the shoes!! You took a better shot than I got…it was so crowded when we went I couldnt get that close to the shoes!! It was a great show…but i think last years seemed bigger and better.
Beautiful, awe I want to go to a flower show!
@Mrs. Cupcake: I love that dress too!
My sister goes to a local farmer’s market and creates beautiful bouquets every week - I get my floral inspiration from her!

My mister and I are planning a vibrant summer soiree celebrating our passions – including food and Philly – and when we make it official, we’ll have been together for eight years!
