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.
One of my favorite exhibits captured the essence of Milan in fashion-forward, floral frocks...and petal-adorned shoes.
Flowers not really your thing? We found impressive displays of succulents, herbs...and even landscaping!
Displays also featured flowers masquerading as accessories and food.
And green-thumb enthusiasts proudly displayed prize-winning plants.

We dawdled over our favorite exhibits until evening. With one foot out the door, I spotted a final touch that made me grin...
Where have you found floral inspiration?
