Wildflower party decor.
Wildflower baby showers have so many floral decor options that could work, there are too many to list, But here are a few to get you started, and you can let your creativity expand on these suggestions.
Floral mantle decor:
Use faux or real flowers to decorate around the room on the mantle and windowsills with lush florals. You can get silk flowers in bulk on Amazon, click here to see the options.
Wildflower Centerpieces:
Use groups of mason jars, rustic vases, or vintage pitchers filled with an assortment of wildflowers to make large groupings of wildflowers. Wicker baskets can be a nice touch, will hold a lot of flowers, and you can give them to the guests of honor (parents, grandparents, and relatives of the mom and dad to be) at the end of the shower.

Wildflower Table Runners:
Use floral-patterned table runners or create your own by attaching small wildflowers to a simple fabric runner for an added touch of elegance.
Hanging Flower Arrangements:
Suspend small clusters of wildflowers from the ceiling or a pergola using clear fishing line or ribbons to create a floating garden effect. This can be really pretty if you do a lot of them, but making the bunches can take time, so start ahead of time!
Floral Wreaths:
Hang wildflower wreaths on doors, windows, or walls. You can make these from fresh flowers or purchase handmade artificial ones.
Flower Petal Confetti:
Scatter dried or fresh flower petals on tables or use them as confetti to add a delicate and colorful touch to the decor.
Floral Printables:
Use printable signs and labels with wildflower designs for food stations, drink tables, and other areas. Customize them with the baby’s name to tie the theme together.
Paper plates and cups:
There are tons of floral wildflower theme paper plate and cup combinations on Zazzle to choose from. You can customize them with the baby’s name, or the date of the party, or leave them as-is.

Wildflower party activities.
You’ll want to provide games and activities at your party, but activities can be more popular for your guests because they’re less structured. They keep people busy, and if you set up stations where people can mingle and rotate around the room during the shower, it gives people things to do at their own pace.
These are some ideas for some games and activities that you can set up for your guests.
Name that wildflower quiz:
Make large cards with closeup photos of flowers on them and give guests multiple choice sheets to guess what the flowers are as you hold up each photo. If you want to make it harder, don’t give them choices, just have them write the names in if they know them.
Flower Name Scramble:
Make a list of wildflower names with scrambled letters. Guests have to unscramble the letters to reveal the correct flower names.
Name The Flower Scent:
Blindfold guests and have them smell different floral scents. Guests must guess which wildflower scent they are smelling. Use essential oils for this game (see some here on Amazon.)
Flower Pot Painting:
Set up a station with small flower pots and paints. Guests can decorate their own flower pots, then use them at the planting station to take home as a favor.
Planting Station:
Provide small pots, soil, and seeds or small plants for different wildflowers. Guests can plant their own seeds to take home as a decorative party favor.
Flower Crown Crafting:
Provide faux wildflowers and materials for guests to create their own flower crowns. This can double as a fun activity and a photo booth prop if you have one set up.

Photo booth:
Set up a backdrop covered with paper flowers or ivy with silk lavender and daisies wired on, and let guests pose for selfies. Provide photo booth props like large paper flowers, or have guests wear the flower crowns they made at the flower crown station.
You can get the flowers pre-made or buy templates to make them on Etsy.
