The Pineapple is a symbol of welcome derived from the practice of placing a real pineapple at the door to announce that the sea-captain owner had returned from his long voyage and was ready to receive guests.
Newport has hundreds examples of wonderful colonial homes.
Make sure you visit “The Point” section of Newport on your next trip.
Facing the harbor Its just to the right of the Visitors Center.
So when the New England Society of NYC asked me to design the decor for the annual holiday party,the pineapple simple ruled.
My next bride plans to hang a pineapple on the front door of her venue.
Why don’t you?
