1. Locally Grown, Market Fresh
One of the most wholesome baby shower ideas is the locally grown, market fresh inspired shower, and it’s one that can be celebrated all year long, not just during harvest season.
With the sentiment ‘our sweetest harvest’, throw a spread of food which is inspired from farm to table with plenty of fresh produce. For a backdrop, be inspired by the below! Using soft florals throughout for that intrinsic link to nature.
We see this as being one of the most popular trends for 2026 as it’s unisex, wholesome and one that’s really easy to recreate.
2. Preppy Classic – Gentleman or Lady
You can have a lot of fun with this Ralph Lauren inspired baby shower, a preppy style that is ideal for little boys or girls.
Host a classic affair with deep blues, greens or pinks, Polo bear inspired treats and cookies and feature the Polo Bear throughout any signs and decor for your shower.
3. Earthy, Neutral Inspired
From our clothing to our interiors, earthy inspired design has become one of the biggest trends over the last year, and it’s just as popular as a decorating scheme for baby showers.
Not only is this a fab unisex decorating trend, but it’s so easy to recreate. Earthy colours are typically anything that can be derived from the nature around us, so greens, reds, browns and creams work beautifully in situ.
Pick 2-3 colours out for your scheme and intersperse touches of nature such as foliage, or even natural materials such as rattan and seagrass into your backdrop for natural warmth that feels cozy.

There’s something so lovely about a baby in bloom shower and it’s one that continues to grow in popularity.
It’s warm, uplifting and perfect for celebrating the impending arrival of both little girls and boys. It goes without saying that blooms are the most important element for this theme, both real or faux flowers are welcomed and there are so many ways you can style with them.
Whether you create something similar to the below or perhaps a backdrop with mini vases with stems in each of them. There are so many lovely ways to do it to suit your personal style!
5. Teddy Bear Inspired
There’s something about teddy bears that’s just so adorably cute, and we’re seeing a continuation of this trend in baby showers through 2026.

This enchanted forest theme can be interpreted and used in a series of ways. Be inspired by the below backdrop with plenty of faux foliage, flowers and earthy balloons. Introduce figures or teddies for that woodland feel, you could even lean into a fairy inspired forest to tap into this theme.

Bee inspired baby showers are up there in 2026 as we seek that link to nature, and what better way to do it than with these warm, honey colors and a special buzz in the air!
Yellows, honey and creams create a gorgeous color scheme for a bee inspired shower, introduce honey themed foods or bee shaped treats for your guests. There are a number of bee related puns you can use, but ‘a little honey is on the way’ is one of our favorites.

Yee-hah! We’ve been seeing cowboy and cowgirl references through interiors over the last year, and it’s just the most gorgeous way to see out your last rodeo before they arrive!
Lean into soft muted colors and intersperse with cow print balloons or other pieces of decor. Go one step further and invite everyone to dress up in cowboy and cowgirl attire for the baby shower.
9. A Little Silly Goose
This is such a unique baby shower theme and one we see growing this year as it becomes more mainstream and there’s more inspiration out there to take ideas from.
‘A little silly goose’ is the sweetest sentiment, use those classic blues or pinks and mix with pristine whites and sage greens for that soft, pure look.
Add a duck to your backdrop or a plush duck toy to lean into this up and coming trend.
10. Cloud Nine
An all white baby shower offers such a pure and pristine outlook for a shower, and everything has to be white, clear or sparkly!
