Baby showers are becoming important parts of celebrating the joys of being a mother. Its popularity has led to the surfacing of different methods of doing it. Take part in the joy experienced by your family member, friend, relative, or office mate. Throw a baby shower done with fresh flowers to signify new life.

When the gender of the baby is already known, the flowers that must be used should bear the colours signifying the baby’s gender. For instance, pink flowers are mostly prominent in baby showers for baby girls while blue or light purple flowers are more used in baby showers for baby boys. If the gender is still unknown, it is safe to stay with flowers of pastel colours.

Almost every species of flower can be used for baby shower bouquet arrangements. However, one of the most popularly used flowers for baby shower includes baby’s breath. The use of these flowers has become synonymous with the coming of a new baby in the life of a mother.

Other flowers commonly used in baby shower decorations and flower arrangements include roses, dendrobiums, larkspurs, and lilies. These flowers bring additional beauty to the place where the baby shower will be staged.

The flower arrangement will have to be dependent on the size of the area to be decorated. There should be decorations placed on a table that will serve as a focal design. This will set the tone for the celebration. A common practice by baby shower organisers is the use of flower arrangements that are placed in bowls.

The bowl that is used to hold the floral art is in turn dependent on the size of the table where it is placed. Small bowls are of course proportionate to small tables while larger ones are deemed fit for larger tables. Place the flowers across the bowl and keep them together with the use of floral tape. Cover the tape with foliages or greens but make sure they are used at a minimum to provide more space for the flowers. Commonly-used greens include fern, lemon leaf, and eucalyptus.

Complete the baby shower mood with the use of flowers placed on certain spots. It would be also be a wise idea to use the flowers that are the favourites of the expectant mother. Dedicate a table where gifts can be placed. Make the atmosphere more childish with the use of balloon arts placed in strategic places of the venue.

Cakes can also be prepared for the baby shower. Decorate the cake with things that will indicate the nearing arrival of the baby in the life of the mother. Baby figurines, miniature feeding bottles, and pacifiers can be placed on the cake to serve as decorations. Other baby shower organisers use diaper cakes for additional decorations.

Never ever forget to prepare food and drinks for the baby shower. Attendees should have something to eat while the program is ongoing. Ask each one to give wishes and messages to the expectant mother.End the program by asking the expectant mother for some parting words.
