I’ve always been a huge fan of the quote ‘I’d rather have flowers on my table than diamonds on my neck’. When we started brainstorming what we wanted to do for my cousin Jeannie’s baby shower, I knew we needed some beautiful floral arrangements to pull the look and woodland theme of the party together.
For me personally, the month of October was chaos. I worked on five different recipe segments for Channel 2 and I’ve been wildly prepping holiday posts and other recipes. As much as I love DIY and making a ton of decorations by hand (you’ll see what I did make my next post), I just couldn’t DIY another thing.
Last spring I attended an event at the Safeway headquarters were they showed us all some of the amazing things each local store can put together. I was blown away by the beautiful flowers at that event and with my crazy October schedule looming I knew that I could trust Safeway to put together some beautiful arrangements for the shower.
Safeway has an amazing team of in-house floral designers and you can go into any store to order custom arrangements. When I was in high school even remember working with the floral designer (ironically at the SAME store these came from) to design a special boutonniere for my prom date.
For Jeannie’s baby shower, I talked with the Safeway’s floral designer and shared a bit of our vision for the party decorations. With a woodland theme we would be using rustic colors like cream, brown and greens throughout the rest of the room.
I absolutely love the vases she used to put these together. The bark coated vases brought in the woodland shower theme perfectly and helped us pull the decor throughout the party together.
All of the flowers were stunning and smelled amazing. Each arrangement contained a similar set of flowers including hydrangeas, roses, daisy’s and deconstructed sunflowers. The sunflowers were a particularly creative way to pull brown colors into the display. To obtain that look the floral designer actually removed the yellow colored petals so only the brown center of the flower remained. It created such a beautiful and fun display.
I love how easy it was to order these arrangements and was so impressed with how everything came out. Not only were they beautiful the day of the shower but they stayed beautiful for nearly two weeks after.
