I'm planning a wedding to be held at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Does anybody know the month when it is the prettiest? Like the flowers are in bloom and the weather is nice. Not too hot and not too windy or chilly.

If the wedding has an outdoor component, you've chosen the city very well: San Francisco has the most consistent temperatures of any city in the country, which is why many residents describe the climate as 'eternal spring.' As such, there really isn't a bad time for your wedding, because it's never extremely hot OR cold in SF. What's more, there are flowers year-round. As I write this (in San Francisco), I'm looking out into a garden that has a lemon tree, day lilies, and roses. Beautiful!
That said, there are more sunny days -- and a more 'intense' profusion of flowers -- in the months of April, May and June.
The Palace of the Legion of Honor (which I assume is the museum you mean) has some absolutely beautiful grounds, and they'll be in all their glory in the spring.
Congratulations, and enjoy your time in San Francisco!

*too hot*? Ahahahaha! It's never hot. It's never "freezing" either, though. I don't know why people keep saying that. Try living in Chicago during the winter with a week straight of below 0 weather THEN call San Francisco's 60 high/45 low weather "freezing". Ugh!
Anyway... the weather is warmest in late September/the first half of October... it's Indian Summer. March/April/May is best for flowers in bloom... though it's often also foggy around then.
The best combination of nice weather/flowers in bloom is in July and August.

I would suggest going in late spring or summer. It is most likely going to be nice weather at that time. Usually it is always cold there. When I went on my b-day in May it was freezing. It was like 65 degrees. Way different from a blazing 102 degrees in Sacramento a day earlier.

The best weather is in early October, though there won't be many flowers. Try late April/early May.

I'd say go in the summer time.
