Looking for a baby shower that’s warm, whimsical, and full of heart? A Boho Baby Shower is the perfect way to celebrate in a laid-back style. With earthy tones, natural textures, and thoughtful DIY touches, this theme creates a cozy vibe that feels both effortless and unforgettable.
Whether you’re hosting in your home, a backyard, or a beautiful indoor venue (like ours!), here’s how to bring your boho baby shower vision to life—without stress or overspending.
🎨 What Is a Boho Baby Shower?
The boho style blends earthy elements, vintage flair, and soft, natural decor. Think: macramé, dried florals, warm tones, cozy textiles, and handcrafted details. It’s perfect for parents-to-be who love casual elegance, nature-inspired vibes, or simply want something different than the traditional pink-and-blue.

🧺 Boho Baby Shower Decor Ideas
You don’t need a designer budget to create a beautiful setting. Here’s how to decorate a boho baby shower with intention and creativity:
🌾 1. Color Palette
Stick with soft neutrals and earthy tones like:
Terracotta, sage green, and dusty rose
Cream, ivory, and muted gold
Accents of rust or mustard for warmth
🪢 2. Textures & Layers
Use layered rugs, throw blankets, and poufs for cozy seating (especially in a backyard or lounge-style setup)
Incorporate woven baskets, rattan decor, and wooden elements for that earthy boho feel

💐 3. Florals & Greenery
Use dried flowers (pampas grass, bunny tails, eucalyptus) in vases or arrangements
Add a floral hoop, flower crown station, or greenery garlands on tables and signs
🕯️ 4. Lighting & Ambience
String lights, lanterns, and candles = instant magic
Hang macramé wall decor or a DIY photo backdrop behind the gift or dessert table

📸 Photo-Worthy Moments
Make sure to set up a few pretty spots for guests to snap pics!
DIY photo booth: Use a neutral backdrop with hanging florals or a rattan chair
Welcome sign: A chalkboard or acrylic sign with hand-lettered baby shower details
Memory table: Include ultrasound photos, baby shoes, or a message jar for guests to leave advice or wishes
🍴 Boho-Inspired Food & Drinks
🧁 Keep it simple, seasonal, and styled:
Grazing table with fruits, cheeses, olives, and crackers
Mini quiches, crostini, and veggie cups for easy bites
Naked cake or cupcakes with floral accents

🥂 Drinks with a twist:
Signature mocktail with edible flowers
Sparkling lemonade or iced tea in dispensers
Use mason jars or vintage glasses for a rustic touch

🎁 Boho Baby Shower Favors & Games
✨ Thoughtful favors:
Mini succulents in clay pots
Handmade soap or bath salts
Linen-wrapped cookies or candles
🎲 Low-key, fun games:
“Guess the Baby’s Name”
