If you love flowers and flower arrangements, the Bouquets to Art at the de Young Museum, is an annual event you won’t want to miss. Now in its 34th year, the show is billed as a “floral takeover” by the de Young, and features florists from San Francisco to Tokyo pairing their arrangements to the art on display in the museum.

This is also one of the San Francisco society events of the year, and you will see some very familiar faces at the always-sold-out luncheons held each day during the exhibit. Tickets to the “Opening Night Gala” in 2018 range from $200 to $5000. Click here for more information on this year’s exhibit slated for March 13-18, 2018.

Because the exhibition is the most-attended event at the de Young each year, crowds are at “Disneyland” levels most of the time.  If you don’t like crowds, I would suggest booking one of the VIP events instead of general admission, which ranges from $13 to $28 per person, or free for members of the de Young museum.

I plan to attend Bouquets to Art this year and hope to post some photos on my Facebook page. In the meantime, below are some photos from the Bouquets to Art in 2015.

Proximity to the restaurants and museums of San Francisco is just one of the things that make living in Marin County so special. Please call me at 415-847-5584 if I may be of assistance, and please click below to subscribe to my MarinScoop Real Estate and Lifestyle newsletter.
