As a wedding blogger, I’ve seen my fair share of innovative and delightful wedding decor ideas, but nothing quite matches the whimsical charm of a DIY Pineapple Floral Arrangement. Trust me, this is a game-changer for your wedding decor!
First off, let’s talk about the visual impact. Pineapples are naturally stunning with their unique texture and vibrant colour. When you hollow out a pineapple and fill it with a burst of fresh flowers, the result is a show-stopping centerpiece that’s guaranteed to wow your guests. The juxtaposition of the tropical fruit with lush blooms creates an eye-catching, exotic aesthetic that’s perfect for a summer wedding, beach-themed nuptials, or even a rustic garden party.
Now, onto the DIY aspect. Creating these pineapple floral arrangements is surprisingly straightforward, even for the less crafty among us. All you need is a sharp knife, a bit of patience, and your favourite flowers. The process of hollowing out the pineapple and arranging the flowers can be a fun pre-wedding activity with your bridal party. Plus, it’s a cost-effective decor solution. Instead of splurging on expensive vases, you’re using a readily available and affordable item from the produce section.
The symbolism of pineapples also adds a delightful layer of meaning to your wedding decor. Pineapples have long been associated with hospitality, warmth, and friendship – all the things you want to embrace as you start your married life. It’s a subtle way to infuse your celebration with a sense of welcome and joy.
Lastly, let’s not forget the scent. Fresh pineapples have a sweet, tropical aroma that, combined with the fragrance of fresh flowers, will add a sensory delight to your venue. It’s like nature’s own potpourri, enhancing the ambiance with a refreshing, inviting scent.
In conclusion, a DIY Pineapple Floral Arrangement is not just a unique and beautiful decor idea; it’s a fun, meaningful, and cost-effective way to add a tropical twist to your wedding.

Hello! I was wondering if you could tell me what the names are of the two taller flowers in the arrangement? The thin purple one with green on the tip and the fluffy light pink one. Thanks!
Hi Brianna! I believe the thin purple one is a veronica flower and the pink fluffy one is pink astilbe 🙂 I hope that helps, they’re so pretty aren’t they! xx
So cute and creative! This would make a great centerpiece for any summer party!
Once the pineapple is cut, how long should it last? Is it possible to use a pineapple coring device? Are green, not ripe, pineapples best to use? Spray paint….will that change the consistency of the inside flesh? Don’t know whether to spray paint the pineapple or leave them natural. (I know not to eat a painted pineapple.) Thank you for answering my curiosities!
Hi Phyllis
Once the pineapple is cut I would only expect it to last a day or two and I suspect using a pineapple corer would be a much easier way of removing the flesh. Green pinapples may last a little longer than ripe and spray paint doesn’t change the consistency of the flesh but we did find our pineapples started to decay after about 3 days once painted.
Hope that helps.

Hello
I want to us this ideas for an outside event but I know the pineapples will attract bugs. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep the flys away?
Hi Jasmine
Sounds great! You could consider lighting some anti-bug candles near the pineapples?

How long would the whole pinneaple last before I prepared arrangement after purchasing from store?
Hi Yvette
I’m really not sure but I would guess a week or so?
Emily
I have a question! How about the smell?? It will be strong pineapple smell all the room right?? Especially warm room…
We really didn’t notice a smell tbh, might be different in a warm room thought?
Emily
I don’t think pineapple can be used this way. It looks great and very creative. I have tried many ideas for my events or house party. And I always try to use budget-friendly things which are not too costly. I also want to use this idea for my event and game because this will be an attractive idea to decorate stylishly. If we have these creative ideas of pineapple and other fruits, then why should we waste, and it is funny too. Fruits decor is in trend nowadays. Thanks for giving me such beautiful ideas for this creative decor idea.
