Wasn’t this week’s twin girls’ birthday party the cutest? Spring is just the very best, if you ask us. And you can’t go wrong with a botanical inspired baby shower, like this sweet celebration Kelly Leeves Photography sent our way. It’s all green and white and a little bit boho, if you’re into that sorta thing!

Can’t go wrong with a dessert table adorned in macrame, either.

These pretty Minted invites helped set the tone for the spring shower.

Mimosa bar, another spring necessity!

We’ll never tire of seeing baby clothes all lined up like this. Especially in such a cozy space.

Happy mama! Love the big balloon in the corner for a sweet touch, too.

Best wishes to our mama-to-be! And wishing all the mamas out there a happy Mother’s Day this coming Sunday.

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve talked baby showers here on the blog, which is basically years in Cakelet speak! But The Revelry Co and their creative partner Black Twine sent over this boho baby shower, with the sweetest Southwest twist, and now we’re feeling beyond ready for a May full of showers (wait… wasn’t that supposed to be April? *wink*). Anyway! They made it all happen for mama and talented photog, Jenny, who runs Custock Photography with her hubs Chad, as they celebrate baby no #4!

Love us a good boho baby shower theme around here. You can find the whole blueprint for this “stay wild, my child” themed shower here.

From the team at The Revelry Co, Jenny has a killer eye for design and reflects a cool southwestern swag about her. We knew we had to incorporate that into the party! We created the custom theme, “stay wild my child” around a laid back boho chic vibe with subtle accents of Southwest culture. We were inspired by earth tones, black and white mud cloth print, and pops of copper to create this modern twist on boho western. 

Smitten with this cute cake by  b.r. sweets!

Our kinda favors!

Did we mention that Jenny’s parents live on a beautiful ranch in Northern California? Sure made finding a backdrop for this shower easy!

So so sweet. Congrats to Jenny + Chad!

Baby showers at Festoon are quickly becoming some of our very fave affairs, especially those of the pretty pastel variety, a la our friend Robin of RMBO Collective. She whipped up a dreamy gender neutral baby shower to complement mama-to-be Heather’s laid back California boho style, complete with all the positive vibes. Thanks to Emily Jane Photography for capturing this beautiful afternoon!

RMBO Collective says, Festoon LA was the perfect blank slate space with amazing natural light for this afternoon event. We used a neutral palette mixed with pastel crystal tones and organic greens. A variety of crystals and Palo Santo wood were used as decor and ensured that the good vibes were flowing throughout the whole event space. Graphic printed swaddle blankets were chosen for the table runners and could be repurposed as a baby gift for the mama to be. 

Super gorg setup, check!

This sweet little baby boy, who we lovingly refer to as Little 6 because he will be the sixth of his name—Edwin Warwick Miller, VI—has already had a cocktail named after him: the Little Sixer Spritzer! We printed his nickname on cocktail napkins and glassware for an extra special personalized touch. 

Mildly obsessed with all the vessels RMBO Collective‘s florals were arranged in.

Guests snacked on grazing boards from Just Add Wine LA and bites from Lodge Bread Company.

Heather’s baby shower was all about positive, welcoming vibes for this beloved mama and her baby boy. Some of her best friends, Joanne, Jules, Morgan, Bridgett and Robin, hosted the gathering of 30 guests for an afternoon of laid back pampering, bites and positive energy. 

They also had a onesie decorating station and guests went home with candle favors that, once melted down revealed a hidden crystal inside! See more details in our inspiration gallery:

PS Robin was over on 100LC recently sharing tips on how to properly set sand style a table. Take a peek, if you’re into that!

Congrats, Heather!

How we love when we get to follow a past bride into motherhood. You might remember Janna from this SoCal themed bridal shower her sister Jacquelyn of Beijos Events threw for her on 100LC. Boy does time fly, because we’re now sharing her baby shower also planned by her bestie-slash-sis. It’s the sweetest spring backyard theme that’s perfect for all you on the hunt for gender neutral baby shower ideas. Thanks to Ala Cortez for sharing the photos!

Pretty spring sweets by Sugar Crush Sweets for this backyard affair.

Janna and her hubs aren’t planning to find out the sex of the baby beforehand (Eeee! The anticipation!), so they opted for a backyard happy hour theme at their SoCal home.

Jacquelyn says, I’m so excited for my sister Janna to have her first baby this March! She is my only sibling and this is the first time I’ll be an aunt! I decided on a neutral color palette that may have come across a little feminine but the blue walls at Janna’s home made it a bit more masculine! Her lovely friends and I threw it together complete with beautiful florals, fun balloons, delicious food and drinks and the prettiest desserts. All for a special baby that I can’t wait to meet!

Pretty darn perfect for a March baby, don’t you think?

These backyard blues definitely tied the whole thing together.

Congrats, Janna! See more from her spring backyard gender neutral baby shower below:

If you manage to tear yourself away from yesterday’s pretty pink + blue beach baby shower, be sure to scoop up even more pastel baby shower ideas as captured by Elizabeth Fogarty at Fathom Gallery in Washington DC. We love the peachy gray in lieu of traditional pink + blue, and OMG the bites from our mama at Heirloom are positively darling. Just you wait!

But first, the sweets. How gorg are these desserts by ButterCream BakeShop?

The display of bites had a bit of a that French flower market feel that you know we can’t get enough of.

Perfect outfit coordination, right here.

See what we mean?!?! And check out how they served up their Petite Chicken Souvlaki Flatbread:

So pretty!
