Settling on a perfect baby shower theme can be stressful, especially with so many creative ideas out there, opinions from friends and family, and your own taste and style. However, here at Walter Knoll Florist, we have come to learn that flowers are a fantastic crowd-pleaser and simply stunning to incorporate into baby showers. If you’re unsure where to begin, think about what the baby’s birth flower will be, which blooms are your favorite, or take a look at our brilliant suggestions below.

Baby Shower Blooms and Decoration Ideas

Rose-Themed Baby Shower

Roses are the most popular flower in the world, and with their symbolism of love, beauty, joy, friendship, innocence, grace, femininity, and new beginnings, it is clear to see why. However, the best thing about roses is that they come in a wide variety of colors, so hosting a rose-themed baby shower has endless possibilities. Choose a monochromatic color palette, a soft collection of pastels, or the whole rainbow for the loveliest baby shower aesthetic. The beauty of roses can be displayed, of course, with fresh-cut roses as centerpieces, a floral wall or archway into the shower, as embellishments on game sheets, and even rose-flavored desserts from your favorite bakery.

Sunflower-Themed Baby Shower

As a sign of optimism, joy, love, growth, happiness, and strength, sunflowers are another favorite bloom to celebrate expecting parents and their little bundle of joy. Sunflowers make the perfect baby shower decor with their bright yellow petals, which is also an ideal color for a gender-neutral celebration. These versatile blooms can create a rustic look with mason jars, baby’s breath, and wooden accents or a free-spirited, boho feel with macrame, free-flowing greenery, and pampas grass. Incorporate baby bumble bees, sunflower cake decorations, yellow and white balloons, sunflower seeds for snacking, and packets of sunflower seeds as party favors for guests to grow their own sunny blooms at home.

Wildflower Themed Baby Shower

Having a baby is nothing but a wild yet marvelous thing, and wildflowers can be the perfect way to celebrate the beautiful craziness that is about to ensue. A combination of garden, rustic, and boho decor that creates innocence, whimsy, and grace is simply brilliant for a baby shower. Wildflowers can be incorporated into the best baby shower decor, from centerpieces to backdrops for photos, food and gift table flowers, and party favors, like bud vases for guests or soaps “from your shower to theirs.” Wildflower crowns, DIY flower bars, and lavender flavored refreshments are also unique and fun additions to your wildflower baby shower.

Greenery Themed Baby Shower

“Oh, baby!” Greenery and natural-themed baby showers are all the rage these days and perfect for any gender. This clean and minimalistic yet stunning and playful style is great for showering mom, dad, and baby with love and gifts. White, gold, and even pale pink or pastel orange prove to be the best accent colors for lush greenery. From boxwood walls to hanging branches with eucalyptus and green garland to balloon arches with live greenery accents, there are so many ways to display natural greens in addition to centerpieces. Choose fresh flowers like white roses, pale pink carnations, hydrangeas, succulents, and flowering plants to bring even more life into the baby shower.
