Baby Shower Centrepieces - Cunning Beats Creativity

Baby Shower Centrepieces - Cunning Beats Creativity
By Gracie May

So many ideas for baby shower centrepieces can leave you in a
turmoil not knowing what to pick to display on the day.
Centrepieces used for baby showers were traditionally flower
arrangements. Floral pieces on show would come beautifully
arranged in a basket or a crystal holder.

Remember the theme for the baby shower when choosing what
flowers to have for the centrepiece. A good idea is to try
blending in personal items in and around the arrangement. Colour
is another important factor we don't want the table laden with
pastel lemons and whites only to throw in a big red bloom.
Another issue to focus on is selecting the right flowers.

Flowers are one of natures beauty alongside your newborn,
blossoms picked by you for the baby shower will enhance the
occasion with an essence so sweet filling the air.

Personal items for the flower basket centrepiece can include
baby novelties like cuddly toys these can be bears and bunnies
to baby clothes.

Have you considered preparing and making up your own baby
shower centrepiece, if this is out of your league then buy one,
expect to pay approx 35 pounds upwards all depending on the
design and content i.e. whatever goodies you choose to place
inside the basket.

Baby shower centrepieces can come in edible form such as a baby
showers cake. If a diaper cake is your decoration for the middle
of the table then you have to remember these are not for
consumption. Diaper cake is actually made up of diaper/nappies.
It is a fabulous and practical idea for a baby shower
centrepiece.

Another tip and cost effective for a centrepiece is to place a
plant on display not only does this do the trick but you get to
keep the plant for a long while after.

Try placing some baby extras around the pot like baby linen,
towels what ever you feel is best suited.

It has been known that fishbowls have been used to decorate the
table at baby showers, floating candles, beads or flower petals
were added to spice up the look.

Liven up the occasion with colour add balloons they are cheap
and ideal for the baby shower party.
Try tying a few brightly coloured bows around cuddly toys. Silk
flowers scattered around a neat tower of baby linen or candles
encompassed by baby soaps and smellies. Do be careful with
candles.

Creativity creates a more exciting centre piece I hear, I don't
think so not if you are on a budget.

If you are struggling to meet the cost of a baby shower
centrepiece then cunning it has to be. Here is how it is done
spruce up the table with more colour by adding floating
balloons, action the whole content of the table with so many
different little gifts brightly gift wrapped. And a definite
guarantee to distract eye contact away from the non absent
centrepiece is to place plates of cream filled cakes here and
there; the centrepiece will not even be missed.
