Pastel roses, ranunculus, and peonies set the tone for the “Baby in Bloom” look. Choose blush, lavender, peach, or soft butter yellow blooms for table arrangements and balloon garlands accented with eucalyptus or baby’s breath. The combination creates an airy, feminine vibe that feels elegant without being fussy.

Planning tip: Mix real and faux florals to control your budget — local florists can add fresh stems to pre-styled silk garlands for a fuller look.

Natural wood or whitewashed tables pair beautifully with linen runners in sage or blush. Petite bud vases, vintage-style glassware, and soft napkins tied with ribbon bring a graceful garden-party charm. Incorporate textured elements like lace, rattan chargers, or woven placemats for a balanced, organic finish.

Planning tip: Layer textures in threes — think linen, rattan, and glass — to create visual interest without overwhelming the table.

Every baby shower needs a photo moment, and 2026’s version is all about lush garden backdrops. Combine pastel balloon arches with cascading florals and signage reading “Baby in Bloom.” It’s a perfect focal point for gift tables or guest photos.

Planning tip: Choose neutral bases (like white or beige) so the flowers and balloons take center stage — it photographs best under natural daylight.

Garden-inspired sweets continue the theme beautifully. Think mini fruit tarts, pressed-flower cookies, or floral cupcakes. Herbal mocktails — lavender lemonade or rosemary pear spritzers — make for elegant refreshment options that look lovely on a styled drink station.

Planning tip: Use edible flowers to garnish drinks and desserts for a cohesive and charming detail that ties the look together.
