Real Event: Bold Tropical-Themed Baby Shower

September 30, 2024

A tropical-themed baby shower is a fun and vibrant way to celebrate a new arrival! Whether you’re hosting in a backyard or transforming an indoor venue into an island paradise, the right event rentals can make all the difference. And they're available year-round! From bold linens to standout seating, here’s how to create a bright, yet classy atmosphere for the special mom-to-be.

Bold Linens to Set the Scene

The key to a tropical theme is starting with colorful linens. Mix and match bright oranges, vibrant yellows, and other citrus shades for your tables—instantly transforming the space into an island getaway! For the event pictured above, we recommended rattan linens with a natural, textured look in both orange and beige. But don’t be afraid to choose a pattern! Bright florals can work nicely for this theme too.

Bamboo Chairs for Natural, Relaxed Seating

Bamboo chairs are an ideal choice for a tropical-themed baby shower. They bring a relaxed feel to your event while still being stylish and functional. Their natural texture and warm tones perfectly complement bright linens.


The beauty of bamboo chairs is that they’re versatile—they can be dressed up or down depending on the event's tone. For a casual baby shower, you can leave them as they are. If you want a more polished look, add colorful throw pillows or soft cushions to enhance comfort while keeping the aesthetic intact.

Fruit Accents for a Playful Touch

Incorporating fresh fruit as part of your decor is a fun and unexpected way to enhance the tropical aesthetic. Use oranges, pineapples, or coconuts as centerpieces reminiscent of a still life painting. You can even get creative by adding fruit into floral arrangements—pineapples paired with lush greenery and bright blooms make for a show-stopping focal point. 


And don’t forget about using fruits for drinks! Garnish tropical punch or mocktails with slices of mango, kiwi, or passionfruit for a refreshing twist. And just because these types of beverages are typically associated with summer does not mean you can’t have them year-round. A refreshing, fruity beverage during the colder months is a welcome escape from reality!

The Peacock Chair: A Must-Have for the Guest of Honor

The peacock chair is the ultimate statement piece for any tropical-themed baby shower! Known for its large, intricate design and dramatic shape, the peacock chair adds a sense of drama and fun. It’s the perfect spot for the guest of honor to sit during gift opening or photos.


To elevate the chair’s presence even more, decorate it with garlands, add colorful throw pillows that match your linens, or utilize arches behind it. The peacock chair not only looks stunning but also ensures the mom-to-be has a special place in the spotlight.

Elevate Your Tropical Theme with the Right Details

To throw a truly outstanding baby shower, it’s all about the finishing touches. Here are a few standout additions that will pull the look together and impress your guests:

  • 3-Tier Stand: A 3-tier stand (pictured above) is both functional and elegant. It can hold everything from appetizers to desserts while adding height to your table displays. This rental piece not only serves a practical purpose but always looks great. We love this mini-salad presentation! 
  • Sage Glassware: Complete your tablescape with sage glassware, perfect for serving water or punch. The soft green hue pairs nicely with bold linens and natural bamboo.
  • Gold Arch Backdrops: For a picture-perfect moment, consider adding a gold arch backdrop to your decor. These arches make a striking visual statement, ideal for framing the guest of honor during photos or placing behind a dessert or gift table. The gold tone adds a touch of glam without overpowering the theme.


With these essential elements—bold linens, bamboo chairs, fruit accents, the iconic peacock chair, and the perfect finishing touches—your tropical-themed baby shower will be a vibrant, stylish celebration that guests won’t forget. Contact us today to start planning your shower or special event!
