Hand-on-heart, this might just be the coolest baby shower we’ve ever seen.

Set in Pretoria, South Africa, mother-to-be Sthi wanted a baby shower with a hint of a traditional African theme and lots of colour, to celebrate the impending arrival of her little girl. The team from Konfetti Love delivered just that, creating a vibrant and textured event, featuring colourful décor, fresh blooms and guests dressed in “Wakandan Goddess” African attire.

Event Stylist, Marissa from Konfetti Love, says her vision for the event began with the bright African-themed stationery, which helped to guide the rest of the styling. Other inspirational elements were traditional “Shwe Shwe” fabrics found locally in South Africa, with bright colours and bold patterns.

‘Sthi is also an interior decorator who works with lots of colour and texture, so I wanted to ensure I conveyed her style through the event too,’ says Marissa.

The team used a base colour palette of pink, nude and blush tones, then added punches on orange, yellow and blue for contrast and fun. They crafted a photo backdrop from colouful strips of cotton that, although seemingly busy, photographed perfectly with the African dresses.

Throughout the party, guests also had the opportunity to paint an alphabet block for the nursery, as a practical and sentimental gift for the mother-to-be.

But Marissa says her favourite moment on the day was when Sthi arrived.

‘All of the guests formed a line and as she walked past they “Hululated” – a high-pitched African sound women make as an expression of joy and celebration,’ explains Marissa.

‘It truly was a very special moment.’

Sit back and get ready to take in all the goodness that is Sthi’s baby shower.HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_01 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_02 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_03 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_04 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_05 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_06 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_07 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_08 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_09 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_10 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_11 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_12 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_13 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_14 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_15 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_16 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_17 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_18 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_19 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_20 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_21 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_22 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_23 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_24 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_25 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_26 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_27 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_28 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_29 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_30 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_31 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_32 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_33 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_34 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_35 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_36 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_37 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_38 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_39 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_40 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_41 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_42 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_43 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_44 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_45 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_46 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_47 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_48 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_49 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_50 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_51 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_52 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_53 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_54 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_55 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_56 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_57 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_58 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_59 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_60 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_61 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_62 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_63 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_64 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_65 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_66 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_67 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_68 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_69 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_70 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_71 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_72 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_73 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_74 HOORAY_HelloPrettyPictures_Pretoria_75
