Baby showers
A baby shower flower bar in Los Gatos and the South Bay
A baby shower should feel soft, a little sentimental and easy on the mom-to-be. Our bloom bar arrives as a painted chest of drawers full of flowers, with our own flower arch beside it. Guests choose their stems from the drawers, and we make each piece on them in a few minutes. Nobody has to plan a craft, blow up a balloon or clean up afterwards.
Tell us the date, the town and roughly how many guests, and we'll suggest a package. Most showers of about 20 guests choose The Garland: any piece, crowns included, a palette matched to your invitation and two hours at the bar. A $100 refundable deposit holds your date while we plan the colors together.
The rattan stroller
For baby showers, a rattan stroller arrives full of soft blooms and sits beside the bar. It becomes the corner everyone gathers around, and the one most people photograph. Add it to any package for $150. It's how we think of the whole day: a baby shower without balloons.
Something to wear for every guest
Each guest picks one piece. A wristlet is a soft cuff of blooms made on the wrist. A pin is a small posy for a lapel, a bag strap or a jacket. Some guests would rather build a little bouquet to carry home, and that's lovely too. Every piece goes home in a small keepsake box with a stem card and a pressed petal from your palette.
A crown made ahead for the mom-to-be
The guest of honor shouldn't have to wait in line at her own shower. We make her crown ahead in your colors, so it's ready when she walks in. A crown made ahead is included in The Wildflower, and you can add one to any package.
Gentle on everyone
Pregnancy can make strong scents hard to be around, so we keep scent light by default and leave out anything you ask us to. We never use lilies, lily of the valley, foxglove, oleander or hydrangea, and we skip berries and beads when toddlers are coming. Tell us about allergies or pets and we'll plan around them.
Favors guests actually keep
Mini watering cans hold a little posy in your palette, each with a tag for the baby's name or the shower date. Custom seed packets are filled with California wildflower seeds, so every guest plants a little piece of the day. Both can sit on the bar as guests leave.
Packages from $750 for up to 12 guests. Most showers of about 20 guests are $1,200.
Hold a date for a baby showerKindly asked
Can you match the nursery colors?
Yes. Send us a photo of the nursery, the invitation or a fabric swatch, and we'll build the palette around it. If a flower is out of season, we pick the closest match and tell you first.
Are the flowers strongly scented?
No. We keep scent light by default, which most moms-to-be appreciate. If there's a flower she can't be around, tell us and we'll leave it out.
Can we have the stroller without the full bar?
The stroller is an add-on to a bloom bar package, so it comes styled to match the rest of your flowers.
What if little ones are coming?
Kids choose and we make, so there's no wire or scissors in small hands. We skip berries and beads when toddlers are at the party, and we only photograph the flowers.
