Southern California (April 22, 2025) – Fleurs de Villes, the globally renowned immersive floral show that has captivated audiences throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK, returns to South Coast Plaza from April 23 – 27 with the West Coast debut of Fleurs De Villes Downton Abbey – a spectacular fresh floral celebration inspired by the famed period drama, created by Southern California’s talented floral designers.

Beyond the stunning floral mannequins on display at Jewel Court and Bear Street, guests can discover breathtaking floral installations throughout South Coast Plaza, including floral adorned doorways at Max Mara and Mikimoto, an elegant Segerstrom Center for the Arts floral Swan, and charming Bowers Museum floral gates. Visitors can also shop for fresh blooms from local florists at a pop-up weekend flower market (April 26-27), and vote for their favorite floral mannequin for a chance to win a $250 South Coast Plaza gift card and a $150 Fleurs de Villes floral bouquet.

We are proud to celebrate the talent of Southern California’s incredible local florists.”
