How to Pick the Perfect Baby Shower Flowers

Welcoming a new baby into the world is always an exciting time! So it's no wonder we all want an excuse to celebrate, and a baby shower does precisely that.

Needless to say, you'll want this event to be an elegant affair so we thought we'd put this blog post together to help you pick your baby shower flowers. So, without further ado let's dive into our top advice!

1.) Find a Florist

When it comes to sorting your baby shower flowers, you'll need to find a reliable florist. An experienced florist (whether online or offline) is essential when it comes to choosing your flowers.
Flowers don't like being moved around or subjected to different temperatures. So, find a company who understand the importance of taking care of their blooms, so you get the best quality possible.

2.) Pick a Color or Theme

There are few things you'll want to consider when choosing the color of your flowers:

• What's the baby's gender? Do you want the traditional pinks for a girl or blues for a boy? Or, would you rather steer clear of these stereotypes and opt for a more neutral color?
• Does the baby shower have a broader theme? If so, you might want to try and coordinate the colors of your florals to the decor you've already purchased.
• Do you want a display where you can add motives and other trinkets to the flowers- if so which ones, and what colors would suit you?

You may want to bear in mind that softer hues are ideal for baby showers. These colors tend to represent gentleness, which is perfect! Hence, you really can't go wrong with any shade of pastel.
