1. Rustic “Hello Pumpkin” Baby Shower
Transform your space into a charming autumn haven with a rustic pumpkin patch theme. Imagine a sea of orange and white pumpkins serving as stunning centerpieces, evoking the warm, inviting ambiance of fall.

For a twist on the traditional, consider a pastel pumpkin paradise. Picture soft orange and powder blue for a baby boy, or blush pink, creamy beige, and gentle peach for a little girl. Gold accents, such as gold-dipped pumpkin stems or metallic leaf garlands, can elevate the decor from cute to absolutely stunning.
For a truly unique approach, try a chocolate-themed pumpkin shower with rich brown pumpkins and cream-colored accents. It’s unexpected, elegant, and oh-so-delicious looking!
