Stack crates and baskets filled with fresh fruits, herbs, and flowers. Use them as centerpieces or food displays. - Market-Style Signage
Handwritten chalkboard signs add an authentic touch. Include “Fresh Baby on the Way,” “Pick of the Patch,” or “Locally Grown with Love.”
- Checkered Tablecloths & Burlap Runners
Mix country textures with produce-themed prints or gingham for a cozy yet stylish look. - Neutral Baby Shower Colors with Pops of Produce
Start with a base of ivory, beige, or sage green and add accent colors inspired by nature, like tomato red, citrus orange, and lemon yellow.
