Throw a Garden-Themed Baby Shower

Floral designer Amy Osaba kept the color palette clean and neutral for this baby shower she designed in Atlanta. Using a variety of plant materials and vessels, Osaba was able to pull off an elegant, high-end look while keeping costs down. Take some of her floral ideas—including low-cost vessels and arrangements with impact—to heart when planning your next event.

Don't have an enormous budget? Flowers and plants are their own rock stars and don't need a lot of embellishment. Succulents in small terra cotta pots, individual stems of flowers or garden herbs placed in simple glass jars you collect over time can create a lovely, ethereal quality when used as centerpieces.

A color palette of white, green and gray and white ranunculus and roses keep this baby shower bouquet looking refined and not too fussy.

You don't have to spend a fortune on flowers. Just use them wisely, mix up your display and think outside the bouquet.
