Beaded Flowers - what do they mean????

Posted in Bead and Wire Flower News on Jul 07, 2009

All flowers have traditional meanings, and beaded flowers are no different. The next time you want to create a beaded flower gift, or you receive one, you might want to consider the meaning behind that beautiful blossom!
 
A bouquet of withered flowers means rejected love, but with beaded flowers this can’t happen — they’re everlasting!

 Roses are likely the most popular of all flowers. A red rose means love and respect, also courage and a job well done. The yellow rose represents joy and friendship, but  can mean jealousy, too. Put a red and yellow rose together, and the meaning is congratulations. Enhance your arrangement with baby’s breath — it means happiness.

Carnations are very popular as a beaded flower — a white one stands for pure love, sweet love and innocence, while the yellow carnation means disdain and rejection. We all know the four-leaf clover is a symbol of good luck. Did you know there’s a five-leaf clover? It symbolizes bad luck.

 
The forget-me-not appropriately means faithful love and memories, and the gardenia says “I love you in secret”. At the holidays, mistletoe is the symbol of affection and love, no surprise there! The poinsettia means “be of good cheer”.
 
A red tulip is a declaration of love, and the variegated tulip stands for beautiful eyes. A violet is the symbol of modesty and simplicity, while wisteria means youth and poetry.
 
So the next time you want to choose a beaded flower to create as a gift, consider it’s meaning. Then bead something pretty that has a message as well!
