Pineapple Vase

Hi all, today I try out the latest flower arranging trend: the pineapple vase. 

I love using flowers to brighten up a room, the large variety of colours and styles makes florals the perfect way to bring life into a space. In recent years I have become very interested in flowers and arranging them. Whenever flowers are bought for the house I nominate myself to arrange them beautifully: spending time picking the perfect vase and layering the blooms together.

I first discovered the pineapple vase trend in Lauren Conrad's Celebrate book. In the bachelorette party section, she wrote about how pineapple vases are an innovative and fun way to display your blooms. I couldn't agree more, ever since discovering this trend I have been eager to try it out myself, and today's the day I finally got around to experimenting with creating my own pineapple vase. If you haven't got your hands on Lauren Conrad's latest book Celebrate then Pinterest have many variations of the pineapple vase trend to inspire you to create your own.

Here is how I created mine!

Step one: de-head and core the pineapple like you would a pumpkin on Halloween.

Step two: cut a small plastic bottle in half across the width (this will act as a traditional vase and store the water). Place the plastic bottle inside the pineapple so that is it out of sight and fill with water.

Step four: place the flowers inside the plastic bottle arranging to your preferred hight and style (I prefer to display my flowers shorter and closer to the top of the vase).

FINAL OUTCOME 

Ta-da! Here is the final outcome, I Hope you love it as much as I do! This fun vibrant flower display is perfect for the summer months whether you're hosting a summer party or BBQ or like myself hoping to inject some colour into your room, this pineapple vase will be your go-to flower arrangement for the rest of summer.

I hope this post inspired you to create your own pineapple flower vase. If you do try out this current floral trend make sure you show us on social media using the hashtag: #elevenohseven

EASTER STYLE GUIDE

With Easter just around the corner, today at Eleven Oh Seven we share with you some of our favourite style ideas for the Easter weekend. Whether like us you celebrate Easter with a family Easter dinner or are planning a Good Friday brunch with your friends, here are some outfit and beauty ideas for you to try out!

T-shirt: ASOS, Skirt: ASOS, Bag: Paul's Boutique, Shoes: Zara

When we think of this season, pastels instantly spring to mind, so we couldn't not include an outfit based on these gorgeous hues. We opted for pink as the staple colour for this outfit as it's a subtle pop of colour and is super-girly. This pink pencil skirt is sophisticated and paired with a tucked-in slouchy tee, it makes an effortless look worn in the day or out for a meal and drinks in the evening. This reversible clutch is perfect for this look, as you can opt for either grey or metallic pink to take the outfit from day to night.

These gorgeous beachy waves compliment the outfit perfectly as we wanted to keep the look quite casual. This hairstyle is also really easy to achieve and is a good transitional look from Winter into Spring and Summer.

We think this effortless and glowing make up look is perfect to compliment the beachy waves and the pastel outfit, with the nude-pink lip and use of highlighter on the cheekbones brightens the look to make it fresh for Spring.

Top: Topshop, Trousers: ASOS, Bag: Topshop, Shoes: New Look

This outfit gives an edgy twist to the classic 'florals for spring' with a slight Gothic-esque floral print. If you are looking for a different option rather than a feminine classic spring outfit, this sleek and tailored style is for you. The printed trousers are the staple piece of the outfit, and we feel that these trousers would look best paired with a classic black crop top and court heel. To complete the look we added a small grey satchel bag which pulls out the grey detail in the trousers.

We feel this hair is perfect with the above outfit! The braided detail in the hair adds a strong statement to the hair. You can lighten the style up by adding beachy waves to the hair or create a sleek style by straightening the hair or adding a ponytail.

This make up is fresh and light which is perfect for spring. The lip colour perfectly matches the trousers without being too dark and Wintry. 

We hope you found some inspiration from these looks, and we'd love to see what looks you're loving this Easter season! Let us know on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #SpringAtElevenOhSeven.

See you on Friday for another Easter-inspired post!
