There's nothing more elegant than the simplicity of long, flowing white tablecloths for an outdoor baby shower sit-down tea or brunch party.

4. Use Paper Pinwheels & Honeycomb Balls For No-Hang Baby Shower Decorations.
If your party is outdoors or you don't have a lot of wall space to work with for decorations, you'll love using
honeycomb balls and
paper pinwheels, as they don't need to be hung. They're easy to set up in advance so when you're ready to decorate, you'll have one less thing to do. Place groupings of honeycomb balls and paper pinwheels together with floral arrangements in the same colour shades, for a stunning, girly baby shower. Use these elements to highlight and draw attention to party focal points like the favours table or the gift drop-off station.

5. Cheer Up A Bare Wall With A Bright Tissue Paper Pom Pom Backdrop.
On the other hand if you've got too much wall space to decorate, you'll find it easy to transform a bland, boring wall into a work of decor art with a few packs of
tissue paper pom poms. Choose them in different colours and add a metallic shimmer using extra-thick luxury
gold and silver tissue paper pom poms. They're easy to fluff and look gorgeous in multitude. Finish off your party food table with a
paper tassel garland and matching paper straws.

6. Use Hanging Flower Pom Poms and Strands Of Coloured Beads For A Simple, Glam Baby Shower.
An indoor baby shower has the advantage of being able to use the ceiling of a room to suspend decor over your party food buffet tables. This gives you more surface space on the table to comfortably display your food in a way that is inviting and accessible to guests. Create a dreamy overhead display using
tissue paper pom poms and strands of transparent/crystal beads of different lengths. Finish off your table with a banner or bunting.

tissue paper pom poms,
eyelet lanterns and
honeycomb balls.
