12 Baby Shower Centerpieces That Suit Any Party Theme Whether you're looking for something small and simple or punchy and bright, there's a centerpiece on our list that will inspire your own party arrangements. Close Credit: Bryan Gardner A baby shower gives parents and loved ones the time to celebrate the newest arrival and make cherished memories in one of the happiest times. The centerpieces at the shower add an extra special touch to what is already a sweet day of celebration and make the day all the more memorable. When brainstorming centerpiece ideas, consider the theme, the parents' style, the party's color palette, and the location of your event. Regardless of the theme you choose (and there are so many good theme ideas to choose from!), we've rounded up our favorite baby shower centerpiece ideas to help you inspire your event. From a clementine and daffodil arrangement to using tea-tins as flower vases, we know you'll find something that speaks to you on this list. What to Bring to a Dinner Party, According to Etiquette Experts 01 of 12 Cutie Clementines and Daffodils For a "little cutie" themed baby shower, consider placing bursts of orange color across the table via ripe clementines. Keeping the leaves on some adds nice contrast, so don't feel like you need to clip them off. You can also place bowls of clementines on the table. Add more dimension by weaving in braided baskets filled with daffodils. 02 of 12 White Vases White vases provide a neutral backdrop for any flower you want to incorporate into your baby shower (which makes these holders a great choice for a gender-neutral party!). Here, we offset bold anemones with a group of simple greens and fragrant flower sprigs. 03 of 12 Single Rose Arrangements Credit: SIMON WATSON Even grocery-store roses look stunning when displayed in glass votive candleholders. Snip off the stems and arrange as a set. 04 of 12 Fruit Basket Centerpiece Baskets brimming with fruit imbue a table with rustic charm. And in case someone finds themselves munchy, these delicate fruits are ripe for mid-party snacking. 05 of 12 Tiered Lilac Centerpiece You can boost the height and visual drama of any arrangement with the help of a serving bowl from the kitchen or china cabinet. Set a vase inside the bowl (we opted for lilacs) and then fill both vessels with billowing flowers. Choosing a highly fragranced flower like lilacs will really help set the mood at your baby shower. 06 of 12 Poppy Arrangement Credit: Ditte Isager A pedestal vase filled to the brim and beyond with a rainbow of brightly hued poppies makes for a joyful baby shower centerpiece. Here, the centerpiece nicely complements the tablecloth, which is stamped in similar colors. 07 of 12 Champagne-Flute Arrangements Credit: SIMON WATSON Champagne flutes make elegant vessels for displaying flowers. Nestle arrangements of lisianthus, waxflowers, and ranunculus in them. You can opt for a monochromatic color palette or create a bold look by choosing contrasting colors. 08 of 12 Flower Votive Centerpiece Flowers and candlelight are nothing new, but together they create tabletop decorations fit for a relaxed summer baby shower. Place votive candles in tall glass vessels and attach a flower (dahlias are shown here) outside each, trimming the stem to fit and tying with raffia that matches the flower. Set each display in a saucer of water to keep the flowers fresh. 09 of 12 Monotone Mum Centerpiece Float a brightly-colored flower, like these vibrant mums, in small bowls and arrange them with votive candles on a cheese board for a quick, modern centerpiece. On a long table, you can place a few platters down the middle. 10 of 12 Sand and Shell Centerpiece Light up a table with this arrangement, perfect for a seaside baby shower. Use candle adhesive to secure slender tapers to the bottom of a clear glass vase, then carefully pour in a few inches of sand and arrange shells on top. Besides refracting the candlelight for added ambience, the vase will protect the flames from the breeze. 11 of 12 Parade of Blooms Credit: Antonis Achilleos Delicate and airy, this baby shower centerpiece composed of single blossoms lets you make the most of a limited group of flowers. Showcase each one (we used dahlias and garden roses) in clear glass vessels, such as bud vases, jars, or even drinking glasses. To accentuate the arrangement, set the flowers on a runner with a hue that contrasts with the color of the tablecloth. 12 of 12 Tea-Tin Vases Vintage and new tins are often decorated with charming, old-fashioned prints and lettering. Clean out these containers, and give them a second life as informal flower vases for a tea party-themed baby shower. We filled one with roses, gomphrenas, and sweet peas. The tins are usually watertight and certainly shatterproof, so you don't have to worry about leaks or breakage. Explore more: Entertaining Baby Shower Ideas
