Long before text messages and love letters, dating back to the Victorian age, flowers used to do all the talking! The language of flowers, aka "floriography" still weaves it's magic into modern day lives and weddings. Whether it’s gifting a red rose on Valentine’s Day or lilies given for sympathy, each flower carries meaning, gently saying what words sometimes can't...
Here are just a few of the dried and preserved flowers I use often throughout my collections and their hidden meanings:
- Preserved Rose: Eternal love, passion, devotion
- Hydrangea: Gratitude, heartfelt emotion, understanding
- Eucalyptus: Protection, healing, new journeys
- Bunny Tails: Playfulness, gentleness, peace
- Thistle: Resilience, strength, protection
- Strawflower: Immortality, everlasting remembrance
- Ruscus: Thoughtfulness, humility, renewal
- Oats: Prosperity, abundance, nurturing
- Fern: Sincerity, magic, secret bonds
- Statice: Remembrance, success, sympathy
- Gypsophila (Baby’s Breath): Innocence, everlasting love, unity
- Lavender: Serenity, devotion, calm
