Modern Woodland Baby Shower for a Boy

This post is long overdue! I planned this modern woodland baby shower for my best friend, in my home. I styled this boho baby shower for a girl for her first born a few years back. I have two daughters so planning a shower for a baby boy is a fun challenge for me. This black and white boy baby shower was the only other baby shower I had ever styled for a boy. I really like to style baby showers around the baby's future nursery so that it fits the mom's style. Often, pieces from the baby shower can be repurposed for the room too. She wanted a woodland animals theme which I just loved the idea of. I tried not to go overboard on the blue and focused on neutrals and wood tones for a modern boho vibe. 

Instead of a backdrop, I opted for some woodland animal prints from Minted that she will be able to use in the baby's room. They had so many cute options, it was hard for me to choose but I ended up with the baby deer and baby fox.  I styled them on the entryway table to my home with the cake and a few other accessories. I used a custom color wool ball garland from Glitter Party Co to tie in the blue from the cake. Wool ball garlands look so cute in baby nurseries too! The woodland vase I picked up from Anthropologie {no longer available} and filled with some fall dried plants from Trader Joes. 

For the guest tables, as with most parties in my home, we moved all of the furniture to accommodate the tables in one long row so that everyone was sitting together. The stunning paperware is from Harlow and Grey. I use this company quite often for parties because it's inexpensive but they're so beautiful that they still elevate the look of any occasion. For centerpieces, I picked up some ferns and put them in these white planters that I had left over from my own baby shower. They were beautiful and cost effective. I also scattered some woodland creatures that I found in my mom's Christmas ornament closet. It was such a great find. The mother of the mom to be made some cute little s'mores favors that we place on each setting as a take home.
