Bouquets to Art April 2016

We love the annual spring Bouquets to Art fundraiser at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. This year's show at the de Young had such beautiful color and textural combinations. Here are some of our favorites.

The 2015 Bouquets to Art Show at the de Young Museum

The annual Bouquets to Art Show at San Francisco's de Young Museum has become a yearly tradition for us.  We love going back each time to see which paintings are most inspiring to Bay Area florists, and what creative arrangements they come up with the celebrate the museum's art.  Last night was the opening, and the show runs through the weekend, so hurry if you'd like to see it for yourself!  If not, enjoy our memories, and those of years past with 2013 and 2014's posts.

Bouquets to Art

We love going to see the de Young Museum's Bouquets to Art show every Spring, as we shared last year.  This year the Museum celebrated its thirtieth anniversary of the exhibit, which only lasts a few days before the flowers fade.  They always have a beautiful display of the local florists' work alongside their permanent collection.  These are our favorite arrangements from this year:

Every year, San Francisco's de Young Museum invites floral designers to create displays inspired by their favorite works in the museum.  Their fanciful creations are a lovely way to start spring, and to see the permanent collection in a new light.  This year we went to one of the previews, and our favorite works - and the art that influenced them - are pictured below.
