Flowers. Used to say many a thing, and what you say with flowers can speak volumes. Rather than have a simple sword with flowers engraved onto the blade, why not use the flowers to make a cutting statement? For instance, there's a thread on Reddit (shared from Tumblr) about a man walking into a flower shop and slaps forty bucks into the counter, demanding a bouquet that screams "F*** YOU!" in flower.
The store owner builds a bouquet using geraniums for stupidity, foxglove for insincerity, meadowsweet (uselessness), yellow carnations to declare "You disappointed me," and orange lilies for hatred. A bouquet like this is quite beautiful, but filled with immense volumes of loathing.
By that thinking, why not build a bouquet that says the same thing, using a sword hilt sticking out of the bouquet? This could declare you should run yourself through once the bouquet's purpose has been comprehended.
Of course, what would stop you from using the flower-etched blade at that point? If anything, you can grab the hilt, draw it from its sheath, and run your enemy through. Leave the blade behind if you're into poetic justice.
