How To Celebrate Baby Shower Season with The Hidden Garden

As the warmth of spring approaches, so does the joyous season of baby showers. It's that time of the year when we celebrate expectant parents and shower them with love, support, and thoughtful gifts. And what better way to mark this special occasion than with the timeless beauty of flowers?

Origin of the Name

The term "baby shower" is believed to have originated in the late 19th century when the tradition of "bridal showers" was popular. During bridal showers, gifts were often placed in a parasol or umbrella, and when opened, the gifts would be showered upon the new bride. This concept may have carried over to baby showers, representing the "showering" of gifts upon the expectant parents. 

However, the tradition of celebrating the impending arrival of a baby has roots in ancient civilizations. In ancient Rome and Greece, women were welcomed back to society with a party and gifts after a period of isolation during pregnancy. These gatherings were initially an opportunity for women to share wisdom, advice, and support for the new mother as she embarked on her journey into motherhood. Similarly, in ancient Egypt, women underwent a process of purification after pregnancy and giving birth while the baby was formally welcomed into society.

The Inclusion of Flowers

Flowers have become integral to baby showers, symbolizing the beauty, new beginnings, and blossoming of new life. Just as flowers bloom and bring color and joy to the world, a baby brings happiness and hope to the parents and their loved ones.

Using specifically curated floral arrangements like those offered by The Hidden Garden adds an extra touch of elegance and charm to the baby shower celebration.
