I went to a baby shower recently, purely as a guest, whilst visiting?family?in the USA. I was both enchanted and shocked by the WOW! factor as I entered the room.
Enchanted because it was?endearing that somebody could put together so much for their dear friend and arrange so many decorations. Shocked because it didn?t work at all and almost shouted ?IT?S ALL ABOUT BABY!? as I walked through the door. There was so much to take in that it was quite overwhelming. There must have been selections from every theme available, all jumbled up in to a mass of hideousness. Sorry! None of it worked. It looked like a hasty shopping trip, purchasing everything baby-related and shoving it all in to one room. Not good at all.
So, thats how not to do it?. To create a beautiful room, which is as much about mum-to-be as it is about baby then it?s best to be subtle. Less is more. Choose your decorations carefully and select high quality over cheap quantity. I?d much rather see a room with a few thoughtful pieces than a mass of pastels.
Centrepieces always work well and make a table setting look attractive along with themed napkins and beautiful cupcakes and cookies. A table showing off all the favours for the guests to take home makes them feel special and intrigued although no touching until home-time!
Balloons really lift a room and bring a new dimension but don?t go overboard. Some themed baby shower balloons along with pinks, blues, silvers etc look better than lots of clashing colours. Vases of flowers look elegant and feminine, adding a soft touch. Never under-estimate white flowers, they look stunning!
