A colour scheme, chandeliers and a wall made out of flowers might sound like components for a plush wedding.

For Saloma Kelly, a baby event planner, they are features of a lavish baby shower.

We spoke to Saloma and mum-to-be Maria at her shower, which featured a flower wall, chandeliers and customised water.

"A lot of people kept saying 'it's a very American thing'," Saloma said.

"In the UK now we're actually embracing having a time where you get with your girlfriends and have this fun time together," she added.

Saloma says lavish showers can cost upwards of 拢2,500.

Some people don't agree with the idea of a lavish baby shower - one commenter on a Netmums thread described them as 'a big load of nonsense'.

We asked Maria whether she thought her shower was over the top.

"It's my first child, and I just love a bit of lavishness, but each to their own," she said.
