Baby Shower Games
Just as there are brides-to-be who are looking for an unconventional style for their wedding, so there are soon-to-be-mums who have a different vision when it comes to their baby shower celebration. The idea that they should be doused in pastel colours and cupcakes isn’t perhaps in keeping with their usual style and personality – and, just like weddings, if there’s ever a time your individuality should shine through, your baby shower is it. With this in mind, we designed our Showered With Love range, a collection of party pieces for those looking for a less conventional way to dress their special celebration.So, what makes this range stand out from the crowd? Firstly, if you don’t yet know the gender or simply want to shy away for pink or blue, the collection keeps things fresh with a violet and light green colour palette – perfect for those with an aversion to pink. In terms of design, the range defies convention, too. While a baby shower is the ideal time to indulge in cuteness, if that look is really not for you, this range might be more in keeping with your preferred aesthetic if you like simple, clean design.

Whether you’re going with the traditional white colour scheme or celebrating your big day in non-conventional style, we have plenty of ideas for the season to rock your boat.If you’re a couple who love all things vintage and are looking for something with a nostalgic, whimsical feel for your celebration you’ll love the Vintage Rose range. As the name suggests, this collection is unashamedly romantic, featuring a classic rose bloom as a central motif across everything you need to dress your reception. As well as lovely pieces of tableware, perfect for your evening buffet or canapés, the range includes gorgeous accessories to integrate into your celebration. If you want to give your cakes that special extra something
add some cupcake cases and picks, perfect for making your sweet treats stand out. We love the idea of creating a tower of cupcakes, iced in pastel colours and topped with pretty rose sugar craft decorations. A co-ordinating cake stand is also included in the range, a simple way to make an eye-catching display. You could perhaps include your cakes in a candy buffet, a trend which is becoming increasingly popular and which makes a great alternative to the standard sit-down dessert course. -
Girl’s Party Ideas

Give your outdoor space
an ‘enchanted garden’ feel with bunting, balloons and fairy lights – the range includes some gorgeous bunting featuring circular flags reading ‘Happy Birthday’ which can be attached to garden walls or fences, or strung around a parasol or tree.
