2. Venue: Bring the Outdoors In

While hosting the shower in an actual forest might not be feasible, you can easily recreate the woodland atmosphere indoors. Choose a rustic venue or decorate a backyard space with wooden tables, greenery, and fairy lights. Incorporate elements like tree stumps, faux moss, and hanging paper lanterns to evoke the charm of the forest.
