Stars, they're not like us — but we can totally crib their ideas.

When it comes to planning a baby shower, it's hard to know where to start — especially in the age of Pinterest, where oh, 382,460,901 ideas are just one search away. If you're caught in a vacuum of indecision — or you want to gently prod your friends away from that "Guess what's in the diaper?" game — try taking a cue from these celebs. We may not have their budgets (or access to their event planners), but hey, we can riff on their ideas.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Light, airy, and all-natural seemed to be the theme of the Transformers star's baby shower, which featured extra-long tables topped with crisp white linens, a jute runner, and pink, gold, and white flowers. 

Like Conrad, Huntington-Whitely rocked another cusp-of-summertime trend — the maxidress — and topped her cakes with fresh flowers.

Ciara

Ciara stuck to an all-white theme, from the balloons to the lanterns to the dress code. It gave the outdoor party an ethereal glow.

 Oh, and if you thought Coachella killed flower crowns, just look at the "My Goodies" star's tiara and question your judgments, ASAP.

Lauren Conrad

The Celebrate author skipped the standard rubber ducks and building block decor for something a little more understated and rustic. Her poolside party featured a cake topped with fresh flowers and blackberries, oversized white balloons, and Pinterest-worthy printed signs directing people throughout the bash.

No shower's complete without a few well-placed puns, and Conrad didn't disappoint with these simple flower arrangements, complete with a "Watch me grow" note stuck in each one.

Beyoncé

Instead of a baby shower, Beyoncé and Jay-Z held a push party, which is typically held closer to the due date than a traditional shower. These black and white photos are classic, but to truly appreciate the vibrant affair, you need to see this next pic.

There's nothing bland about this party, which featured an African-inspired mix of colors, textures and patterns. The spread featured a buffet line of food, as well as a multi-tiered cake (which you can catch a glimpse of in the background, if you look closely).

Candice Swanepoel

The Victoria's Secret model opted for a pastel-tinted safari theme for her shower, complete with a dessert table covered in cookie pops, a fondant-covered layer cake, and trays of cupcakes.

Here's a closer look at the fondant-covered treats, which were decorated to look like giraffes, tigers, zebras, and monkeys.

Ali Fedotowsky

The Bachelorette star went full rustic glam for her shower, featuring white, pink and peach flowers peeking out of bottles and wooden boxes. Classic chiavari chairs and a tufted sofa brought an upscale vibe to the outdoor setting.

Fedotowsky also served a naked vanilla layer cake, topped with fresh flowers, as well as cocktails and mocktails garnished with custom wooden "Baby Manno" stirring sticks. The couple also invited people to play the Baby Manno Face Game, where they combined photos of husband Kevin Manno's and Fedotowsky's faces to create a glimpse of what the mom- and dad-to-be's daughter might look like, People reported.

Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's baby shower featured a pink and white theme, complete with a photo booth for guests, but the real attention-getter (beyond, you know, the whole lavishing the mama-to-be with love and well wishes) was the menu: McDonald's sausage McMuffins and hash browns, cinnamon rolls, mimosas and rosé were all served, according to E!

Blake Lively

Blake Lively knows the secret to a sweet party: CAAAAAKE! Her three-tiered confection could compete with most people's wedding cakes. And, right on trend, hers too was topped with — dun dun dun — fresh flowers.

Lively kept the decor of the fall celebration relatively simple, focusing on playful accents over cutesy ones, like this clothesline-turned-garland (check out that leg lamp onesie!).
