16 Fresh Ideas for a Baby in Bloom Baby Shower

A new baby is on the way, and you’re in charge of planning the baby shower. As you’re exploring ideas, you’ve come across the baby in bloom baby shower — the perfect way to celebrate both the soon-to-be arrival and the glow of the parent(s)-to-be.

Whether you’re hosting a baby shower in spring, or you just love the idea of a floral-themed get-together, we have all the baby in bloom baby shower ideas you need. From party decor to invitations, explore some of our favorite ways to embrace this trend.

What Is a Baby in Bloom Baby Shower?

A baby in bloom baby shower themed around florals, spring, and the blooming beauty of nature and the parent(s)-to-be. This baby shower theme has these concepts at heart, but you can style it in a few different ways.

You could host a boho baby shower themed around wildflowers, with earthy tones as your color palette. Or opt for a pastel spring baby shower, filled with fresh, light colors and fresh flowers. This floral baby shower trend is ideal for a boy or girl baby shower — it’s a beautiful gender-neutral theme that you can tailor to match your venue, budget, personality, and style.

16 Ideas for the Best Baby in Bloom Baby Shower Ever

Now that you have a good idea of the overall concept, let’s explore some of the ways to bring this idea to life. Here are the best baby shower decorations, menu suggestions, and event ideas for your baby in bloom baby shower.

1. Floral Dress Code

Include your baby shower guests in the theme itself by asking them to show up in something floral or in a color palette to match your special event. This is a fun way to make them feel more involved, and it also makes for great party photos!

2. Spring Color Palette

If you’re hosting a spring baby shower, look for pastel colors that match this time of year. Baby pink, blue, purple, and yellow all work well together — especially when you add in plenty of greenery. If pastels aren’t your thing, switch to a bolder, brighter color palette and host a wildflower baby shower.

3. Balloon Arch

Balloon arches aren’t just for birthday parties. This event must-haves also work beautifully for a baby shower. Choose balloons in colors to match your party color scheme, and work in floral-inspired balloons or confetti balloons to add interest. Use the same colors in balloon garlands around the venue to continue the theme.

4. Baby Shower Welcome Sign

A baby shower sign is a great way to let your guests know they’re at the right door, or to guide them towards the party space. You can DIY your own baby shower sign easily with some paper, pens or paint, and an easel, and match it to your theme with spring-themed colors or floral accents.

5. Floral Garlands

It wouldn’t be a baby in bloom baby shower without flowers, and one way to introduce them into your space is through floral garlands. Buy ready-made garlands or make your own with greenery and fresh or dried flowers, then hang them on walls or drape across the dining table.

6. Fresh Flowers in Vases

Another way to include flowers in your big day is as centerpieces or decor items. Call on your floral design skills to arrange blooms in vases and display them on your dining table, on a cake table, or around the room as party decorations.

For a more sustainable take, swap the fresh blooms for artificial flowers that you can reuse in your home throughout the year.

7. Spring-Themed Tablescapes

Carry the spring bloom theme across your tables by transforming them into a visual feast for your guests. Arrange a floral garland on the table, add a themed tablecloth and napkins, use flower petals as table confetti, and add other decor pieces inspired by the season. Keep the glassware and tableware simple and elegant, or go for a more whimsical vibe with flower-themed glasses, plates, and bowls.

8. Edible Flowers

Flowers aren’t just beautiful to look at, they can also make a wonderful addition to food and drinks. Use edible flowers in mocktails, in desserts, and to decorate your cake to bring the baby in bloom theme to life. If you’re confident in the garden, you can handpick your own — or buy pre-packaged edible flowers from a trusted company.

9. Baby in Bloom Cake

Your baby shower cake can be a bold and eye-catching centerpiece for your event, or it can be more understated and elegant. Whether you choose a simple white iced cake with a personalized cake topper or a multi-tier pastel cake with bold flower decorations, this is a fun way to let your event theme shine.

10. Fresh Juice Bar

Treat your guests to some freshly prepared juice with a fully stocked juice bar. Pour fruit juices into individual glass bottles complete with matching eco-friendly straws, or set up drink dispensers so guests can help themselves.

11. Simple Spring Menu

You don’t need to complicate your baby shower menu — especially if you’re hosting your own event. Stick to easy-to-prepare dishes and individual portions, like tarts, quiches, salads, fresh bread, chips, and dips. Grazing boards also work well for small gatherings like this.

12. Mini Desserts

When it comes to desserts, we love the idea of using mini desserts. Think cupcakes, brownies, donuts, cheesecakes, and more — but mini! With smaller portions, guests can enjoy sampling a wider variety of sweet treats.

13. Baby Shower Games

A perfect way to embrace your baby in bloom baby shower theme is with party games. Choose your favorite baby shower games and create your own printables with floral graphics in a software like Canva, or buy ready-made ones from a marketplace like Etsy.

14. Photo Booth with Flower Props

We love a good photo booth, and having one at your baby shower means you’ll have plenty of fun photos to look back on as keepsakes. If you have the budget, hire a professional photo booth. If not, set up your own DIY version with a pretty backdrop, some flower-themed props, and a camera on a tripod or a happy volunteer ready to snap those photos.

15. Flower-Themed Group Activity

If you want to include a group activity at your baby shower, there are plenty of flower-themed ideas you could choose from. Invite an expert to host a flower arranging workshop, try making pressed flowers, arrange a display for everyone to draw or paint, or write your own spring-themed poems.

16. Spring-Themed Baby Shower Party Favors

Send your lovely guests home with baby shower favors that match the theme of your event. Seed packets complement the theme and are also eco-friendly. Other great ideas include a themed candle, keychain, wax melts, soap, skincare set, or jar of candy.
