A secret marriage. A very public pregnancy. And now a shower that’s we’re totally envious of! Cardi B’s “A Bronx Fairy-Tale” baby shower was a whimsical, magical and more than “just cute” party that featured everything from fab flowers to soul food and more.

Event planner Karleen Roy told Vogue the shower was “a magical and imaginary Bronx land fit for the quintessential baby girl.” Here’s the scoop on all the lavish details from Cardi B’s Bronx-themed baby shower, thrown in Atlanta, Georgia late last week.

The décor featured fab flowers—to the tune of 26,000 pink and white stems. Oh, but these weren’t anything as simple as just flowers in vases. The flowers flowed from six subway train car replicas with a massive 16-foot flowery façade with some of those thousands of blooms artfully sculpted into animals, no less.

I think David and I have pretty much decided that the 18’ Bronx Subway 6 Train replica we designed and built for @iamcardib and @offsetyrn’s baby shower is our favorite piece we’ve ever made 😬 . the entire structure was dreamt up and built from scratch, wrapped in metal, sprayed monochromatic pink, and decked out with brass accents and backlit signage, including the route descriptions for the real 6 train and the year Cardi was born (1992) serving as the train car number . the subway replica served as the entrance to the party and the gateway to the Bronx Fairytale that was Bardi’s shower : thanks @cwaymandesign for adding your magical floral touch and to @janethowardstudio for the amazing photos! . we’ll be sharing more host & toast details from Cardi’s shower, as well as behind the scenes of the design and production process, over the next few days! 💕 #hostandtoast #bardishower #bardigang

Along with the featured flowers, the shower included a Bardi Baby Bodega and a Bardi Baby Book Library. While the bodega was filled with pink ribbon-wrapped baby bottles, the library included a standout selection of African-American and Latinx children’s books.

And if you’re into cake (really who isn’t?), Cardi B’s shower included a five-tier pineapple, strawberry, red velvet, chocolate ganache and honey bun cake.

Over the top? Maybe—but when it’s for someone as over-the-top as Cardi B and her first baby, we’ll allow it. Besides, how often does one get the chance to look this swag for a baby shower, anyway?
