Baby in bloom theme ideas
One of the great things about choosing a bloom-themed party for your shower is that there are so many different ways to customise and personalise it to you.
You could choose a specific flower – such as a sunflower in summer, tulips in spring, peonies in summer or wildflowers to bring a riot of colour.
The other option is to pick a colour scheme and go with flowers that will work with that. The beauty of blooms is there are options to suit any colour scheme!
White roses will bring a sense of quiet luxury, while lilies add a touch of opulence to your shower.
If you love boho vibes then a palette of creams, browns and pale pinks will work beautifully. For something more striking and modern then use bright purple.
Baby in bloom invitations
Your baby in bloom invitations set the tone for your party from the start. They are an opportunity to introduce your theme to your guests.
When ordering invitations, look to see if you can find some matching table place settings, a welcome sign, games and activities, and thank-you notes to tie it all together.
Try to find invitations that match the type of flowers you will use to decorate your venue, for example wildflowers or purple blooms.
Decor for a Baby in Bloom shower
There are so many gorgeous options for a floral baby shower, which is why this is such a popular theme!
Pretty floral arch
A gorgeous floral arch is a great place for photos and making a real statement at your baby shower.
You can go big with fresh flowers or choose faux flowers if you are on a budget.
Floral balloons
Using balloons to create a feature corner or arch are a popular decor option for baby showers.
You could add flowers into your balloon arches and features, just like this lovely sunflower themed floral shower.
To add a little more character to your theme then why not make it a teddy bear or Peter Rabbit floral baby shower? Both of these lend themselves well to nature-inspired decor.
Floral table settings & decor
If you are doing finger food or a buffet for your guests then jars with small floral arrangements are easy to put together and will look so beautiful alongside fruit, cheeses, meats, cakes, doughnuts and cookies (or whatever you are serving).
If you have a larger party and are doing a sit-down service for guests then add fresh flowers to your guests’ place settings.
For table settings you could go for large, statement floral arrangements in the centre of tables. Or try smaller arrangements, surrounded by jars with single blooms. I think this idea is beautiful for wildflowers and creating a chic boho look.
Try these additional table setting ideas:
1. Floral name cards
Use seed paper or mini pressed flower cards with each guest’s name.
Stick them into a small bud vase or floral frog for a garden feel.
2. Mini terracotta pots as place holders
Write guest names on small plant markers and place them in mini pots filled with herbs, succulents, or even jelly beans.
3. Vintage garden tea party vibes
Layer floral china plates, lace napkins and antique cutlery.
Add mismatched teacups with flower petals or small sweets inside.
4. Wildflower table runner
A loose, overflowing runner made from wildflowers or greenery across the table.
Can use faux or real flowers depending on budget and time.
5. Napkin wraps with fresh flowers
Wrap napkins with twine and tuck in a sprig of lavender, rosemary, or baby’s breath.
6. Blooming bouquets
Low arrangements in pastel ceramic pitchers, watering cans, or wooden boxes.
Stick to soft pinks, yellows, whites, and fresh greens.
7. Floral chargers or placemats
Use floral-printed chargers, or even large artificial leaves or doilies as underplates.
8. “Bloom Bar” favours at each seat
Small vials of wildflower seeds or mini bottles labelled “Watch Me Bloom” — a sweet nod to the baby theme and a take-home favor.
9. Themed table signs
Signs like “In Full Bloom,” “Growing Love,” or “Welcome, Little Bud” on mini easels.
10. Soft pastel colour palette
Think blush, sage green, butter yellow, and soft peach.
Match napkins, tablecloths, and glassware accordingly for cohesion.
In bloom on a budget
If fresh flowers will push your budget beyond its limits then there are plenty of things you can do to stick with the theme and save money.
Try adding floral pom poms, which you can hang from the ceiling or string up from tree branches.
Also consider getting faux floral headpieces that all guests could wear, or just the mama to be.
Use pastel plates and rose gold cups to help bring the feminine, pretty touches to your decor.

Cookies
Pretty cookies, cake and cupcakes are the perfect way to add extra interest to your baby shower decor and bring a wow factor to your party.
You can use these ideas to help inform your caterer what you would like them to do, or try to recreate them yourself at home if you have a talent for home baking.
Just check out these gorgeous floral baby shower cookies.
I adore how these cookies showcase all the different options for colour schemes with this theme, from soft pinks to bright wildflowers and cheerful daisies.
Cake
A big show-stopping cake could be the big centrepiece on your table of food.
A simple cake with white, or barely there, icing could be paired with a gorgeous fresh flower topper to bring the colour.
Cookies and a large single cake are a popular option for baby showers, but how about cake pops as something a little different?
I love these pretty pink bloom cake pops.
Baby in bloom shower activities
It’s a good idea to have some activities planned for your baby shower, even if they are quite relaxed.
I love onesie decorating stations, as they are quite simple to put together but keep people busy while still socialising. All you need is plain white onesies and plenty of fabric pens. People could use the bloom theme in their creations.
A bloom bar is another gorgeous idea for your shower. Guests can put together their own bunch of blooms to take home with them, making it a cool party favour too.
