The do-it-yourself pineapple vase is the latest in interior and exterior design. Could not be more original and colorful, a floral arrangement in a hollowed out pineapple is the ideal accessory to breathe a breath of freshness and exoticism to your table or to your decoration.

Pineapple vase: the essential accessory for any self-respecting tropical decoration

In recent years, tropical decoration has been essential in our interiors, but also on special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, family reunions etc. Difficult to resist the tropical foliage print, the lush vegetation and the raffia decoration… To the list is also added the pineapple vase which has earned its reputation as an essential accessory for every self-respecting tropical decoration. Easy to make and super original, this natural vase is also one of the most original wedding centerpieces of all time.

How to make a pineapple vase yourself

Making a pineapple vase yourself is a very easy activity to do and in two steps, three movements, you will have a nice waterproof container that will last more than a week. In fact, it's especially handy because you can make your vase beforehand, while being sure that the accessory will be perfectly fresh for your special occasion.

To make a pretty pineapple vase, you need, of course, a pineapple, a knife, a good ice cream scoop and a cutting board.

First, cut off the head of the pineapple. You can replant it in the earth, because it grows back. To hollow out the pineapple, you have to make a conical cut of the flesh with a knife. When you have reached a few centimeters of the depth of the fruit, it will be necessary to change technique. Take a good ice cream scoop and start digging into the flesh of the fruit. Be careful not to pierce the shell. Leave at least 0.5 cm of flesh to preserve the tightness of your pineapple vase.

For more waterproofing, here is a very useful tip. Cut out a small plastic bottle. It is the lower half that should be kept. Incorporate it into the hollowed out pineapple then fill it with water. Finally, all you have to do is put your flowers in the DIY pineapple vase. Your tropical decoration is ready!

Original centerpiece: a pineapple and romantic flower vase

Let your imagination run wild by creating a pretty floral centerpiece to set the mood for your event! A composition of peonies, roses and blue thistles is ideal for bringing color, variety and above all originality to your table decoration. Best of all: install the flowers in an original pineapple vase to show creativity and taste!

A superb decorative idea to vary your family picnics

Do you like picnicking with the family? What a great opportunity to decorate your garden table with a DIY pineapple vase! Make a small bouquet of garden flowers and ornamental grasses and your decorative accessory is ready!

Eucalyptus and succulent centerpiece

Ideal for embellishing a wedding table, the eucalyptus table runner has been one of the major wedding trends for a few years. Simple but elegant and even sophisticated, a branch of eucalyptus sets the tone for the decoration. Taking inspiration from it, we can go further by creating a pineapple vase housing a pretty composition of eucalyptus branches, blue thistles and succulents. A magnificent decoration for a minimalist context, and not only!

Exotic flowers are a safe bet

Orchids, those flowers that rhyme with exoticism and paradise, are an excellent choice for the arrangement of a pineapple vase. Bet on orange orchid, hibiscus and plumeria flowers - an exotic combination that will take your imagination to a heavenly place.

Dare to be simple with plumeria flowers

The simpler, the more beautiful! A miniature pineapple can be transformed into a pretty cute vase that will spruce up your coffee table or any gloomy corner in your home. Add some plumeria flowers that will give a final touch to your DIY tropical decoration.

The right combination of flowers produces a superb impact

Lisianthus or Eustoma grandiflorum is a stunning flower in festive bouquets and table decorations. Its beautiful delicate flowers are particularly appreciated for the creation of floral arrangements for various special occasions: weddings, birthdays, baptisms etc. This flower combines wonderfully with the rose, as well as other exquisite and romantic flowers (daisies, anemones, ranunculus etc.).

A floral arrangement worthy of a great florist

To create a centerpiece worthy of a great florist, do not hesitate to multiply the flowers you plan to use. Prefer peonies, buttercups and anemones which are among the essential flowers of decorations for weddings and other big events. Vary the shades to create a beautiful, harmonious and stylish whole.

Bet on exoticism and bright colors

A pineapple vase is perfect to house a pretty arrangement of exotic flowers in bright colors. Consider quirky flowers like the bird of paradise, hibiscus, tiara flower, amaryllis and anthurium. Give free rein to your creativity and make the most beautiful arrangement for your table.

Finally, we present you an excellent idea to copy to decorate your table without special occasion. Hollow out a small pineapple so that it turns into a cute vase. Insert a small glass or a small plastic bottle cut in half into it. All you have to do is make a pretty bouquet. A few small roses in different colors will do the trick. A few sprigs of greenery are also welcome.
